The older Real Worlds (I would say up to and including Seattle) were much more about doing things in the city and showing how much a city has to offer. After that, it seemed like the whole show was just about going to bars. That's what every episode in Austin showed, and the show did not even get close to showing what a cool city Austin is. I don't know why they just dont have Real World Scranton or Real World Harrisonburg, and just have the cast members get drunk and cause drama at those bars. Having a Real World DC wont hurt the city much, but it will show the world that DC has the same thing every other city has--bars.

A teensy bit of nitpicking here - "24" is actually based in Los Angeles and has been since its inception. Maybe the connection there is not so much D.C., but it focuses heavily on the U.S. government? That'd explain "The West Wing" and "Commander in Chief" too. I'm not familiar with "Bones," so I don't know about that one. I’d love to see shows based in DC that cater to the twentysomething and thirtysomething crowd myself.
