MTV's Road Rules, MTV's second reality show, debuted on July 19, 1995. The series followed six strangers between the ages of 18 and 24 (five strangers in the first four seasons) and stripped them of all of their money and threw them on an RV traveling from location to location only guided by a set of clues and a mission to complete at each location.
The ground-breaking series was a pioneer in travel/adventure/reward reality television (aside from Mark Burnett's Eco-Challenge). Road Rules was created by Jonathan Murray and Mary-Ellis Bunim of Bunim/Murray Productions. Mary-Ellis lost her battle with cancer in early 2004, the last year of the show's series.
The show was spawned from its sister show The Real World. The idea of Road Rules came to mind, when Real World castmates Jon, Tami and Dominic traveled in an RV across the United States to get to their The Real World: Los Angeles house in the first two episodes of the second season. Bunim-Murray began working on the show soon after the third San Francisco season, and finally debuted in 1995. The show garnered a spin-off series, still in production today, The Real World/Road Rules Challenge.
In March 2006, M Theory Entertainment, a production company that is an off-shoot of Bunim/Murray Productions, mentioned that they are re-tooling the series in an attempt to get it picked up by MTV once again by adding some fan interaction into the series.
Road Rules returns to MTV in January 2007 as announced on Monday October 23rd 2006. Cited Road Rules Post
