"Real Access" is like an interactive tween/teen version of Access Hollywood, with an emphasis on responding to viewer-submitted questions and comments from The N's website. It is about young actors, singers and entertainers that appeal to the aforementioned age group (e.g., Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Orlando Bloom). In addition, the show sometimes profiles actors from other shows on The N (e.g., Degrassi, Radio Free Roscoe). Mostly relying on archived interviews and newsclips, former aspiring pop star and host Lauren C. Mayhew occasionally has the opportunity to interview the show's subjects. Overall, Real Access is a well-done entertainment show, and while it may not get overly-explicit due to the age of its primary viewership, it manages to be unique, informative and entertaining, and is very responsive to comments made and polls taken by its viewers at The N's website.
