"Andy Vs. The Real World" (or "The Big-Ass Viacom Lawsuit") was the fourth produced episode of Mission Hill (though it was the ninth to air). It originally aired on June 9, 2000. It was written by Ben Kull.

[edit] Synopsis

MTV's The Real World comes to Mission Hill looking for a "charismatic troublemaker" to round out its usual cast of mopey whiners. Andy agrees to join the show, thinking he can sabotage it from the inside and thwart the corporate take-over of his beloved Mission Hill. But he underestimates the seductive power of the MTV lifestyle.

[edit] Music

  • "Ape Self Prevails in Me Still" by Quasi is played during the montage of MTV interrupting the lives of the Mission Hill residents.
  • "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. is played when the roommate from 'The Real World' is taken away in an ambulance. It is also sung by the show's cast at the end of the episode.
  • "Begin" by Lambchop is played as Andy, now a cast member, walks into the house to the rest of the cast talking about their feelings.
  • "Who's Afraid of Elizabeth Taylor" by Joan of Arc was playing as Andy was in the confessional booth. You really can't hear it playing but it's there.

[edit] Trivia

  • The title alludes to MTV forcing the series name-change from "The Downtowners" to "Mission Hill" after it was discovered that MTV (which is owned by Viacom) was airing a show with a similar title called "Downtown."
