Anyone who has fond memories of the early days of "Road Rules" can relive those feelings starting next week.

Starting Monday, Sept. 30, the first eight seasons of MTV's "Real World" -in-an-RV series will go into syndication in most markets in the United States.

"Road Rules" premiered on MTV in 1994, following the success of "The Real World." Both series are produced by Bunim-Murray Productions. Participants travel together to locations both exotic and mundane, earning cash to keep the trip going by performing odd jobs along the way.

The episodes airing in syndication include the inaugural season, which featured five people traversing the United States in a camper, seasons in Europe and Australia and the "Semester at Sea" eighth season.
