Book of D: If You're Going to San Francisco, Don't Expect a Real World Homecoming

 There's not much to say about why the creators of The Real World series chose not to have a Homecoming installment for the legendary San Fran cast. I have not read the official reason(s), but I can only guess. All I have read is that instead of creating a Homecoming: San Francisco, the creators are skipping ahead to season nine, and the year 2000. My guess for skipping the TRW Homecoming: SF is that perhaps the castmates prefer not to rehash Pedro's death or cast his beautiful life in a negative light. Sadly, Pedro passed away on November 11, 1994, one day after the final episode aired.

Afterall, we have seen TRW Homecoming: NY /LA/NO rehash negative convos and incidents, which painted some of the characters in a bad light. I don't think TRW:SF would paint Pedro in a negative manner, but no one wants to see reruns of Pedro getting belittled and irritated again by that creep Puck. Or maybe this particular cast just doesn't have time to devote to a Homecoming reunion. For instance, Pam is a doctor now in San Fran devoted to caring for others and teaching (professor of medicine) while being married to Judd. Judd is an award-winning cartoonist for DC Comics. Pam and Judd have been married for 20 years and have two children. I'm not sure what the others are doing these days. I don't care what Puck-a-roo is doing. Pam and Judd were my faves, along with Pedro. I mostly stayed up-to-date about the whereabouts of my favorite living cast members and posthumous celebrations for Pedro. Speaking of, there was a movie made about Pedro, aptly named Pedro, which was the "Official Selection" at the 2009 Toronto Film Festival.

San Francisco Cast: Pedro Zamora, Pam Ling, Judd Winick, Rachel Campos, Mohammed Bilal, Cory Murphy, Joanna Rhodes, and Puck Rainey.
