"A gay." Ha. I wasn't really shocked considering it was 1992 and we still had yet to have the Ellen revolution, Roseanne kissing Murielle Hemmingway, all the AIDS/HIV/Gay hoopla still going strong, etc. I do think it's funny though how they say Melrose is so different than 90210 because they represent more diverse crowds, with their one [token] black and one [token] gay. And wouldn't ya know it, the token black is a dancin' fool.

OMG Yes, would've loved it if the cameras were on her when they broke (no pun intended!) the news to her. My TiVo randomly recorded their recent re-airing of season 1 and I watched parts of the very first episode, and yes, it's amazing what a total poser she was. How the mighty have fallen. But really, she's served no purpose on this show since season two. Her lasting impressions are "who gon' check me boo?" and She by Sheree. Andy Cohen loves to quote those phrases, but that's about all she's provided. Looking forward to seeing what spin she'll give for her departure from the series. As for NYC, their preview showed way too much of the newbies and too little of the veterans. I think The Countess was only in one clip with Ramona (something in regards to Ramona's "pinot-filled ass", ha!). Two of the 3 new ladies look a little... strange.

We may have never met Amanda Woodward.

Wow, guess Bravo changed their minds over Lisa! Yay!

Thanks for posting the article! Gosh, television was different 20 years ago. The "summer rerun season" is a thing of the past. The original intent of Melrose was so different than what it (thankfully) evolved into. I'd say it was trendy the first season because they were always on location on real-life Melrose and the character's personalities were also very different; the clothes more vibrant and individual to each character. But damn, did fashion change quickly. Even by 1995, all that B-roll footage of people strolling up 'n down Melrose was terribly outdated. Yet, they used that footage up til the very end, mom jeans 'n all!

Oh please do!

Ya never know... They could squeeze out 2 hours worth. But Kountry Kandi is pretty much fast-forward material. JMO.

Yes indeed. Atlanta should've wrapped up after the Africa trip. I'm surprised the season finale isn't this Sunday, because we'd have 2 weeks to do a two-part reunion before the premiere of New Jersey on April 23rd. Would there only be ONE part to the reunion this year? Maybe they'll air the 2nd part on another night. I can't imagine they'd squeeze it into one hour with all the fighting that supposedly went on during the taping. Plus, they managed to do a THREE-parter for Beverly Hills!

I know, that New Jersey promo really got me back into those ladies! Hope they deliver the goods and that it's not ho-hum like season 3. Teresa has surely become the new Danielle, so I hope to see the fur flying! I think it was Cynthia in a blog or something that pointed out that Sheree is NEVER happy. She ALWAYS criticizes a party, a gathering, a get-together. She simply can NOT be happy. She drips with jealousy and resentment. It's slightly entertaining, yes, because she is one of the biggest posers on reality television. These ATL ladies need to learn to get together and bicker because that'll keep them all employed. All this separation does NOT make for very captivating television. Especially when what they're showing is Sheree's broke ass trying to look rich, Kandi doing country music, and Cynthia... well, just her being there is boring.

Bring on the "morally corrupt" Faye Resnick! I love her!

Something about the OC in general is just so... pointless. I dunno. It's funny how this is the first of the whole Housewives franchise, and IMO it's the dullest and the worst. I imagine it must've been much better in its earlier years.

I only watched part of OC last night; will watch the rest later. But you are SO right that it makes NO sense and is way hypocritical for Vicki to say it's better that her boyfriend had a job but didn't pay child support, but Slade didn't have a job and didn't pay child support. Um, hello? That makes the boyfriend with the job even WORSE! Makes no sense. Heather is just a bad actress. I don't even believe her "reality" acting. Team Gretchen

Last night's RHOA was way too Cynthia-centric. No Kandi til the party? No NeNe for the first 20 minutes? No Sheree til... Oh wait, she has no story. Peter, aka Papa Smurf, is so classless the way he badmouths his sister-in-law in public like that. Meanwhile, the sister IS a tad bit too weepy. The mother, who looks like she's melting in the hot Atlanta heat, I'm surprised she would say "I'm shocked your marriage lasted a year" at the party, but I guess that's when the cameras were rolling so there ya go. Then there's Marlo, who denies saying she used the F word. Girl please. It'll be interesting to see how she backtracks that one at the reunion show. Phaedra has really grown to be my 2nd fave (NeNe will always be first). Alls you gotta do is shoot her going to the grocery store giving her opinions about foods, flavors, brandnames, etc. and it'll be amusing. She's got a quick wit like a comedienne. I think Kim not attending Cynthia/Papa Smurf's party has less to do with the Africa comments and more to do with the fact that she just didn't feel like going. It looks like she just prefers being on camera when it's set at her house.

Wow, you guys are really crankin' 'em out. Congrats!

Agreed. Ugh. BH's Taylor is returning? She's going to be such a huge buzzkill. People were curious about the alleged abuse as the series progressed, but what value is she going to be to this crowd in the next season?

Yeah, Starr definitely dug her own grave. From the wedding fiasco to lies about her weight loss, viewers had had enough with her and were complaining about how annoying she had become.

Well from what I remember, she made that dramatic announcement early because later on that same today, she went on a talk show (CNN? Don't remember) and put those ladies on BLAST! And suffice it to say, she was not welcome back the next day at The View. Or maybe she just didn't show up.

I'm not surprised Heather Paige Kent Dubrow hasn't had much success in her acting career. She can't even believably pretend that her newfound friendships with the OC ladies is real. That dinner with her husband was painfully fake.

Was Babs there? Will be watching later tonight.

Thank God she got her hair and teeth fixed. I remember when I saw the DVD in the store for ATL's first season and I'm like WHAAAAT? THAT'S NeNe?!?

Yup. As each series continues on, they find new ways to keep the originals relevant, which ends up with some really ugly bitter bitches. (NYC being the strongest example) Aside from Atlanta (which had a great Season 3), it seems each franchise seems semi-realistic (as opposed to straight-up manufactured drama) for only the first two years. After that, they really spin it and manipulate it so that the same women can still have story and potential catfights. As someone who just started watching all these a year ago but played catch-up (you can buy previous seasons for cheap at Target!), it was quite disappointing to see New Jersey fall apart in its 3rd season. I loved the entanglements of Caroline, Jacqueline, Teresa, Dina, and that crazy loonatic Danielle. But boy, season 3 (aside from it dragging endlessly) really turned Teresa into an ugly character. I just wonder what a third season will bring for Beverly Hills...

Yeah that was quite ridiculous. I'm surprised neither Kandi, Sheree, or Phaedra called her out on that right then & there. Certainly Sheree would've wanted to stir the pot?

I love how everyone has giant heads. LOL

Overall, who do you think the viewers' favorite housewife is from each show? Atlanta: Phaedra currently, used to be NeNe Beverly Hills: Lisa. Adrienne used to be the underdog, until the reunion show... New Jersey: ? New York: ? OC: Probably Vicki

I gotta agree. The Africa episodes sans Kim did not phase me in the least. Didn't miss her. In terms of RH cycles, wouldn't New York be next to air after Atlanta is done? Even though New Jersey season 4 was already filmed like 10 years ago. Melissa Gorga is nice, but fake, and definitely wanted to ride along the coattails of her sister-in-law's success. Does Teresa look like the bad guy in all this? Oh yes. But Melissa was looking to cash in. And all that Jesus crap... "that saved a WENCH like me!" Lord ha'mercy...
