When I was a teenager, I worked in a t-shirt store at Melrose & Fairfax. They were working on an episode themed "take this job and shove it". They asked me to make a t-shirt with those words and they taped me as I turned around and held it up for the camera. After we were done, they took me out to their van and showed it to me. It was fun, but I never did see the episode. Was anybody else on this show? I'd like to read your story!.
sharehi. my father was. we have tons of t-shirts left. LOL
my father jumped his army tank over cars. ;)
i'd love to be able to get the actual footage from the show but i don't know where to write or whom to call to get it.
Thanks so much for the reply! Sounds like your fathers segment was much more interesting than mine!
I plan to find those shows someday, I just have not taken the time to research it.
If you or anyone else finds them, let me know! Take care.
hi, my boyfriend and i have been looking for info about his dad who passed away not long after my boyfriend was born. We are pretty sure he was on an one of the episodes. His name was Stephen Bashore, he had a bus that he traveled in that was blue and had a small cabin looking add on to the top. Also, a beautiful mural painted on the sides of the bus. we have pictures of the bus, but that's about it. we would like to know if anyone has seen that episode; we are looking for any and all information at this point!
Thank you!

My grandmother was on this show! She was building a high rise mausoleum in Nashville Tennessee. Crazy

Oh wow, I know you'll never see this, but that segment is on YouTube:

Interesting, because the only episode that I clearly recall was the guy jumping over a row of cars in a tank.
shareI was on twice as a child for new clippings I sent in. It was so cool to hear my name mentioned on tv at that age!
shareYup. In 1982, my dad's ship left port from Norfolk, Va. THe local news was there, and they filmed us freezing our butts off. They later sent the video to Real People.

I wasn't but a number of my friends were. They were in the two part episode where Sarah Purcell skates with Roller Games. I was a skater myself but wasn't skating at the time the show was taping. Most all the girls and guys on the teams were friends of mine. Some still are.
Hi, Jen - My family was featured on Real People on November 23, 1980. I remember this because during the filming my (then) wife was expecting our first daughter and we were in the audience for the airing - exactly one week after Maria was born on November 16th! Our segment was about the fact that my parents have twenty kids - six homemade and fourteen adopted. Byron Allen came out to our home and spent the day with us. We were lucky enough to get a copy of the segment and I still have it on VHS/video tape. Man, was I a skinny guy back then!
