Bravo is on in my joint all the time. That wouldn’t necessarily be so bad if I didn’t outright despise 98% of the programming that appears on my TV from that station. But the wife has loves 100% of their most ubiquitous franchise, so there you go. I’m bombarded year-round now by The Real Housewives of Wherever the Fuck They Are This Month, the recap shows for each one of those programs, the reunions, the lost footage, the re-reunions and spinoff shows like Bethenny Ever After. I’d chastise her for enjoying this pre-fabbed, fake drama, fake tits, fake everything franchise…but then she’d counter with WWE and well, I’d have little retort. Needless to say though, whenever any one of these shows is on, I make a mad dash for the bedroom computer.
Anyway, Bravo’s feeling pretty good about itself these days with the success of that entire franchise, as well as other shows that’s recently renewed such as Flipping Out, Project Runway and Million Dollar Listing. In addition to those, it’s also renewed Top Chef: Just Desserts and Tabatha’s Salon Takeover. But here’s the kicker: it’s also greenlit a whopping 11 new shows, marking their biggest slate ever.
