Move over Housewives of NY, Miami is coming...


While I watch all six of the Housewives series, I love The Real Housewives of New York! I am probably extremely biased in saying they are far more entertaining than the other Housewives series… it must be a New York thing. So you can imagine my disappointment that I now have to wait another three months for the fourth season of The Real Housewives of New York!
Although, it was supposed to debut later this month, Bravo decided to air the rumored season of Miami, which will now premiere February 22, instead. The Real Housewives of Miami was originally the Miami Social Club, a show that Bravo aired previously, with less than impressive ratings.  While it did get picked up for a second season, executive producers decided to add it to the Housewives franchise. The latest installment of The Real Housewives will follow six affluent women in South Florida; while NY stays on the shelf in till spring.  
Now don’t get me wrong, the Housewives are defiantly my guilty pleasure; and it has made Bravo and its executive VP, Andy Cohen, a lot of money and fame.  However, how many different cities can be taken over by these housewives?! While the cities seem to change, the women all appear to be the same… wealthy, bored, and looking for different ways to spend money.  I wonder how long Bravo can keep up before viewers become tired of the same old thing.  For a while I thought Bravo should do an international housewife series and see how housewives around the world live.  And it looks like someone thought so too because rumors of Housewives’ spin-offs recently include, The Real Housewives of Athens and The Real Housewives of Israel.  The waiting game is on to see if the spin-offs can match up to the popularity of Bravo’s U.S franchise.  In the mean time, Miami will have to do!



What to watch this weekend:
·         Spartacus: Gods of the Arena on Starz – Airs Fri, Feb 4
·         Super Bowl XlV  on Fox – Airs Sun, Feb 6
·         Glee, which will air Sunday after the Super Bowl on Fox.
