1991 - The offices of MTV - "Come on, NOBODY wants to see a show with a bunch of whiny teenagers arguing amongst themselves. The public will know it's staged and you will be the laughing stock of the world. I know that Viacom wants a steady flow of ratings and that the network is finding a way to do it with regular programming, plus I know it's inexpensive to make (although of course those videos you play have been GIVEN to you), but you're MUSIC Television. The Real World will flop!"
That should have done it.
"Oh yeah, that Unplugged idea? Keep that!"
