Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Porsha is grown. She should've had a career when she met Kordell. She is almost 30 and hasn't done anything with herself. That is a personal problem. She obviously sought out someone with money and wanted to play a housewife. It just worked out perfectly that she found an egomaniac who wanted a stupid housewife.

The Cher Thread
Cher has NO BUSINESS being as amazing as she is at her age. It's ridiculous! To be able to pull off a performance like that at 67 and to be releasing a mainstream pop album at 67 and feel credible is AMAZING. Every young pop star needs to be following Cher's career. It's just insane to think of how each decade she continues to pull off these transformations and release great music. She really has touched so many generations. I was just blown away by that Woman's World performance! How is she almost 70?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GElt81DKhZI

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
That is the perfect description for that sweaty pig. Onto RHOA, I'm excited to see how next season is. I hope the rumors of the season 5 cast returning are false. I still say that was the worst season so far. Porsha is just too basic and irrelevant to these girls and Kenya was acting, which this show doesn't need. Because Kenya is so fake, she'll never be able to form interesting enough relationships with these women to develop interesting storylines. She's going to have to keep acting crazy in order to remain relevant and I don't want to see that. There are rumors of a new housewife being added, but I need them to get some common sense and make Marlo a full-time cast member. With her being back on I Dream of Nene, there is no excuse. They know Marlo is perfection and they need to give her the spot she earned in season 4. If Kim and Sheree are going to be gone, you need to replace them with stars, because as ratchet as they may have been, they were stars for this show. Sheree provided tons of entertainment the entire time she was on the show. She has a strong relationship with everyone and her rivalry with Nene was must see tv since episode one. Same for Kim. I don't want to sit through another boring ass season with Kandi, Nene and Cynthia doing nothing either. They better get in line.

Beverly Hills, 90210 Discussion Thread
I want to find a bootleg copy of this seriesbecause I need the original music as well. It's only with Melrose Place because I don't feel the music was as important, but for 90210 its a must. I can't imagine the prom without those Cathy Dennis songs, or the Color Me Badd stuff earlier.

Melrose Place
I'm finally watching the season 6 episodes that were held for season 7. This season has been an absolute bore to watch. I hate everything about it. I think Lisa Rinna is the only saving grace and reason to watch this. All these dull new characters are draining the life out of the show. Michael is still interesting because he's interacting with Taylor, but poor Amanda has her worst season here. I always dislike when people say Heather Locklear saved Melrose Place, because IMO it's early success comes from multiple things. For one, Daphne Zuniga joining the show and injecting so much life into it, then Heather Locklear joining, but also the ensemble that included Courtney Thorne Smith, Andrew Shue and the others. Once all of these supporting characters left it didn't work. Not because I hate new characters, but because they are SO dull and SO serious. Why was Samantha ever created? And poor Billy hasn't been interesting in about two seasons. I look forward to seeing what season 7 has in store for me. I don't recall loving it and I'm certainly not looking forward to another season of Saint Megan.

This show is already giving me so much life. I have a feeling it'll do better than even RHONJ is doing this season.

Seasons 2-4 of OC were classics! Seasons 2-4 of OC were classics!

I will always stan for Alex. I hope one day she gets a really good gig on television. OLTL should bring her back, but give her a more important role this time. Maybe she could be a Starr recast.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
People often say Heather would fit in on BH, but she's too humourless for those ladies. She had money to interact with them, but I think they'd find her annoying and pretentious, which is saying something for that bunch.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
OC and NJ have the most in common. If Bravo were smart, they'd add a shot of youth by making Kara a housewife now that she's rich. Can you imagine? We watched her grow up and now she's graduated to housewife. Even Briana is on enough that she could be a housewife. But in general they need to fire about half of their stale cast. Gretchen and Alexis need to go. In other news, Ana from RHOM will be co-hosting The View. Pretty impressive that they're having her since she isn't even one of the stars. I wonder if that means she's in contention for an actual position on the show. I could see them considering her. I know she's nuts, but if they were smart they'd consider Jill, Alex McCord ( love her fashion reporting since she left), Nene and Phaedra as well. The show has gone beyond what it used to be and I would prefer a real tv person to these actresses they keep adding. At least then you'd have a different perspective with some being lawyers and business women. Alex could be a good Mommy to have on, plus her fashion reporting and interest in tv and film. Phaedra could provide comedy and legal advice. Nene could add a huge personality, but it probably too uneducated about most issues. Ana could provide legal advice and of course is a chef. Then you have Jill who has such a large personality and is a hot mess, which would be perfect for The View.

They probably knew she couldn't sustain 6 weeks of viewers by herself. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with shorter seasons IMO. Especially for these specials. Treat them more like mini-series until you know they'll take off. I'd only go all the way with major stars like Nene and Teresa that will bring viewers. For Kim's show I think it should definitely be one hour, but maybe six episodes instead of a full 13. If the six episodes do well you can always add a Lost Footage or a Reunion special or a combination of the two.

IIRC, the reason Bravo canceled the show is because they wanted Michaele back and the other ladies banded together and refused to do the show if she continued on. They wanted that drama. I think it would've been better had they left the white house in the middle of the season (where it fell in filming), then show the fallout and the second half of the season with less Michaele and more of Erika. They would've gotten a midseason ratings jump with the white house stuff, t hen could've transitioned into a different kind of show once Michaele was out of the mix. Instead, Bravo wanted to center everything towards that white house dinner and thats the main thing people were pissed about.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I still hate Michaele for getting this show canceled, but she was a great housewife. I think that season was really strong and could've been better if Bravo wasn't so afraid of the controversy. Honestly, now you have husbands killing themselves and families ripped apart, their breaking into the white house is nothing compared to that. Bravo should've embraced it and let that show shine. People were watching too.

My All Stars: ATL: Nene and Kim if you want a second one from this show. OC: Vicki, Tamra NYC: Ramona, LuAnn BH: Kyle, Lisa DC: Cat (mainly due to her feud with LuAnn) MIA: Adrianna NJ: You'd only need the Queen, Teresa.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I think OC and ATL will be the ones that last. Beverly Hills has never consistently been great in the ratings and the negatively brought their ratings down for most of season 3. New Jersey's premiere ratings proved that they should've done a reboot. It's the same ole dynamic over and over again. Nothing changes.

Lauri was housewives gold so it kinda makes me sad seeing what a hater she is now. I wish they could've brought Lauri and Jeana back full-time and have them more like friends with Vicki. My ideal OC cast would be Vicki, Lauri, Jeana, Tamra, Heather and Lydia. I think Lydia has done well and Alexis and Gretchen have done all they can do for this show. Bringing back those old wives would mix things up nicely IMO.

Kenya wasn't successful for me personally and I feel in the end she will help bring this show down. Had Kenya been herself and not depending on the Walter story so much she could've been interesting. Instead she looked crazy and it was just too obvious she was acting. Once these Real Housewives get like that the shows go downhill. She's too ridiculous for anybody to develop a real friendship with and without that you won't really have real problems. You'll never have Kim vs Nene, Kim vs Kandi, Nene vs Phaedra, etc. because they simply don't care enough about her. They think of her as the joke she is. I hated season five of ATL and I don't look forward to season six if it has the same exact cast. I at least need Marlo back or a suitable replacement for Sheree and Kim, which is not Kenya and Porsha's basic asses.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
That is piss poor that they didn't update New Jersey's opening, yet they filmed a special promo which could've easily doubled for the opening. This is the same opening for 3 seasons. I wonder if that is the real reason they didn't officially add a new housewife, even though one might still be heavily featured.

Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
I downloaded torrents of this show. I'd imagine both must be out.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Don't believe the insiders re: Miami. With New Jersey we kept hearing how there would be 2-3 new housewives, Kim D would be a regular and Kathy would be gone and we ended up with the same cast. I doubt Miami would make a decision before seeing how filming goes. Especially for Marysol.

Lucy and Mariah look like twins, the only difference is skin tone. They have the same nose and mouth.

Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
I watched the first episode of this daytime soap and I found it enjoyable. It's very dated, but it was interesting. I almost wish it was in a half hour soap format, because that is where this type of show would shine. It's just not meant for primetime. Considering some of the actors Tyler Perry has gotten, I'm disappointed in this cast. So many wonderful stars from daytime he could've gotten. Tamara Tunie, Victoria Rowell to just name a couple. I'm curious how this will pan out over 13 weeks and if Perry will offend me when it comes to his treatment of the gay issues and whatnot. So far so good.

If anything, Rasheeda would make sense, especially since she's already appeared on RHOA and is good friends with Kandi.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I think it's smart to hold RHOA as long as possible. Nene's spin-off should do great and it'll have other housewives on it. Then they can roll it out next year, then have Married to Medicine and we'll have a pretty long run in the A.

Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
This is just a black daytime soap in a one hour format. I kinda wish they'd completely owned the fact that they're creating a soap, instead of trying to say this is Tyler Perry's answer to Downton Abbey. This is clearly inspired by his years of watching The Young and the Restless. I only watched a bit of the pilot, but it looks watchable in a cheap, cable soap sort of way. I find it so interesting that Oprah is having success with this when she was so against picking up the soaps. I still think AMC and OLTL would be a good fit for OWN. This is proving that.
