Bunim/Murray Productions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bunim/Murray Productions is an entertainment production company based out of Van Nuys, California, and is considered a pioneer in the reality television genre. It is best known for the The Real World, The Bad Girls Club, and Road Rules. Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray co-founded Bunim/Murray after agent Mark Itkin of the William Morris Agency put the two together to develop a scripted soap opera for MTV. When that was too expensive, they decided to try an unscripted soap and The Real World was born. "We knew within 20 minutes of shooting that we had a show," Bunim said.^{[citation needed]} The company has expanded into music management, managing the pop punk/emo band A Cursive Memory.
