I remember this crazy show...

I used to never miss it. Some of the segments were quite stupid, though. Someone compared it to the things you can find on YouTube today. Too bad hardly none of the segments ever show up on YouTube, though.

The one I'd like to see again is with Sheila and Jean Reynolds, the married couple who were having a gender switch with Harry becoming the wife, Sheila, and Jean the wife, was becoming the husband, Gene. I don't think Jean ever transitioned but Harry did and died 3 or 4 years ago as Sheila.

I watched Real People all the time as a kid! I remember really liking the host named Skip. It was this show and That's Incredible if you wanted to see clips, both were pretty awesome as I recall. In the 90s they did a similar thing on The Daily Show before it became all politics, except they would sort of make fun of the unique people they interviewed. I remember Real People as being more sincere.
