Hosted by Mathieu Chantelois and later by Jason Ruta, the program originally aired in 2000 as an Internet television series connected to U8TV: The Lofters, and was picked up by PrideVision when that network launched in 2001.
The show was not only a fly-on-the-wall-style reality show like MTV's The Real World, but was also a nightly series of talk shows and documentaries that were created and hosted by the cast members.
