No More Real Housewives Please


Apparently what was once going to be a new series on Bravo which happens to take place in Miami is now going to be Real Housewives Miami. Enough with the Housewives. Yes, I like the show. Yes, I watch the show, but there are so many now with more cities on the way that it just gets way too confusing to keep up with each one and each episode is repeated so often that I feel like Bravo/(Slice for those of you in Canada) has become nothing but Real Housewives all the time.

Everytime there is a show that becomes popular and cheap to make, networks go crazy making more and more of them until everyone is exhausted, stops watching and the network wonders why everyone stopped watching. Do you remember when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire first aired? It was a sweeps thing and everyone loved it. People would probably still turn in to watch it in record numbers if they had not decided to put it on all the time at night and even a daytime version. People stopped watching it and now it is just a daytime find it if you are lucky kind of show.

Remember Queer Eye? Great show until Bravo started showing it almost every day. When I look at my TV Guide there are basically three shows on hundreds of hours each week. CSI, Law& Order and Real Housewives. I bet there is not an hour in the day that at least one of those shows is not on the air. Meanwhile, a great show like Lone Star gets canceled after two weeks.
