Anyone Else Suffering From Real Housewives Overload?

Neontommy.com:

A long, long time ago, “The Real Housewives of Orange County” premiered on the cable channel Bravo with the idea that five women would open their lives and expose their ‘reality’ filled with money, family, work and bling. The surprise success of Orange County has established a franchise filled with spin-offs in New York, New Jersey, Atlanta and Washington D.C. Every season the stories get crazier, the fights get wilder and the women get louder. With the Atlanta Housewives third season starting and the beginning of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” set to premiere October 14, it begs to question - is enough finally enough? Are we on Bravo "Housewives" overload? 

Unfortunately, the quick answer is no. However, the increase in cities has caused this loyal viewer to pick and choose which series to follow. The recent “Real Housewives of D.C.” was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe one could tell it wouldn’t be special when one of the women, Mary, introduced herself with the following, “I don’t make money. I spend money.” Really Mary, that’s what you wanted your introduction to be week after week? In her defense, she was very likable in the two episodes I watched. However, therein lies the problem. I only watched two episodes- the season premiere and finale. This pop culture fanatic couldn’t miss the finale titled “Party Politics” which showcased the alleged (have to be politically correct, but we all know what happened) White House party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi commit the unthinkable. Overall, the season and finale in particular was disappointing because we didn’t learn anything new. On the bright side, D.C. housewife Cat had a clever line when she described the Salahis as “so plastic, not fantastic.” Maybe the two-part reunion will bring some answers and much needed war of words. Or maybe, it’s too late and we are moving on.

I have to admit that the thought of there now being too many 'Housewives" shows has crossed my mind and should have all fans a bit concerned. Too much of a good thing usually never ends up well and now with the addition of "Real Housewives of Miami" Bravo is adding a drag queen?!? Nothing against drag queens, but really now Bravo really seems to take their straight male fans for granted, because I can't see any of us wanting to see that shit on the regular. Either way, now we're up to seven "Housewives" shows and even this blogger sometimes has a hard time keeping track of all the women. Nothing wrong with taking advantage of a franchise that continues to bring in the ratings, but sometimes, even when everything's going great, it's a good idea to just stop every once in awhile, take a breather and just let nature take its course instead of force-feeding people too much to the point that they up turned off.
