Rating for OC too high to dump it. The rank of ratings is NJ>ATL>OC>NYC>BH>DC. I thought OC was good the first three seasons then that fourth season began and it was like a new era of housewives and became very phony and fake. Tamra is unbearable to watch and so is Gretchen.

I think The Real Housewives franchise has hit it's zenith. At this point, adding a new city would necessitate dumping one...at the very least, the scheduling needs to be altered, it's almost like there are too many franchises at the moment.

Each franchise should really flow into the next. Airing Atlanta and Beverly Hills during the same time period was a waste, ratings wise, since each show was a success. What BRAVO needs to do is diversify the network more and not rely on the Housewives so much.

Airing ATL & BH together was actually smart, IMHO. BH was new, they didnt know if it would be an ATL or a DC.

I do not think there are too many. OC, NYC, ATL, NJ, BH, Miami. If they air them two together then its perfect, and there is room for another one or two to rotate new programming year round.

I was thinking about this after last night's Lost Footage BH episode... all the series' have had Lost Footage episodes EXCEPT DC. Just another thing to add to the DC list of unfair treatment IMO.

I think 2 at a time is just right... but if they keep coming out with more series, then with 2 at a time, it'll be years between each series... which is too long. Like I don't want to wait 2 years before seeing more ATL (for example), just because all the other series have to have their half-year to air first.

OC Season 5 is really good - that was their first season in HD. Tamra is a bitch... I love Gretchen though. I didn't realize that OC ratings were higher than NYC though - that surprises me.

While I think Miami looks horrible based on previews... remember that NYC was originally supposed to be 'Manhattan Moms' before it was edited and changed to be RHONYC (after filming). And I think NYC turned out great :)

NYC's ratings in season one were similar to DC. It still isn't huge, more in the 2.5 mil range than BH is at, but it's gotten much bigger over time. Especially with that third season. Didn't they have a three part reunion plus a lost footage? I just recall that season going on forever (in a good way). Maybe the second longest behind the current season of ATL.

Yep - 3 part reunion... it had to be pretty popular, which is why I'm surprised it wasn't ahead of OC in ratings. I didn't start looking at ratings though until DC started, after NYC.

I guess it is just timing now? I'm sure NYC's first season ratings were considered huge for Bravo when it aired, but now that Atlanta and NJ have exploded - they have set the bar higher. So anything like DC's ratings (which would be considered huge in 2007-2008), now seems "horrible" in Andy Cohen's eyes. I'm guessing anyway...

For those interested... Bravo is airing all of Season 2 of the OC next Tuesday! Cheap - I know this will make you happy :)

Oh my god are you serious?!?! WHat time does the season 2 marathon start? I'm so pumped to see Jo again, she was my favorite from season 1 and unfortunately the CW jumped straight to season 4.

I actually really like the OC franchise and can see why they keep it around. I do wish the diversity was there that they previously had where everyone wasn't just a plasticed up dumb blonde, but at least it looks like Jeana will at least have a huge impact at one point in the season. I've read about the altercation and thank god the cameras were rolling.

It's weird now that BH is done, I actually as much as I initially liked it have a really bad taste in my mouth from it...The way their personalities all shifted outside of Kim and Adrienne really turned me off..I also think it sucks that Andy filmed the reunion before America could see the final episode, as I think Taylor would've gotten even more flack from the viewers had they been able to send in questions about her "non confrontational" demeanor when approaching Kim for the talk.

Yep - I'll have to go back to my DVR after work - but it starts in the morning around 10ish CST. Runs until 6pm CST.

This season on the OC - they are bringing in a dark-haired lesbian (not sure of ethnicity). At least that's some diversity? :)

They sure are milking BH for all its worth - next week is an hour long producers cut of the 'Dinner From Hell'. Reminds me of NJ's Season 1 with the Director's cut of the table-flipping incident. MILKING.

How was the Lost Footage? I didn't see it but I did find this interesting clip with Taylor being outted as a phony. Just check out Adrienne's face!

It was ok --- I like how Kyle kicked the drunk lady out of her house/party for being all over Mauricio. Also sad about Giggy. Nothing really shocking or new though. Oh, you also find out that Kim's boyfriend from a long time ago was murdered.

BTW -- just saw this on the news about DC's Michaele:

White House Party Crashers Crashed Super Bowl Too

Infamous White House party-crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi claim they were invited to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday from the owner's suite at Cowboys Stadium, but the Director of Client Services for the Dallas Cowboys told the media yesterday that the couple were not invited and were immediately, but discreetly, escorted out of the suite by security. The Salahis have developed a reputation for crashing parties, but vehemently deny ever doing so and routinely have their attorneys stop interviewers from refering to them as 'party crashers'.

That's awesome to hear Bravo is re-airing S2 of OC Tuesday, maybe I'll tape a few episodes. I have season one on DVD and I've seen MOST of season 4. I started watching the Housewives full time in the summer of 2009, so I thought OC S5 was fantastic. That was just me.

    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
