Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
bradybobbie I would love to see Shannan and Heather fired from this series. Tamra has gotten a bit better this season but is beginning to cross the line. She should not be upset with Kelli. It is her wrong doings alone that has caused the issues with her daughter. Keep Vickie, Megan, Kelli and toss the others. Shannan is an idiot and a horrible wife. I agree with David's mother....she did push him to have an affair. What exactly does she contribute to this series? Her voice tone is offensive. Heather is also a horrible wife. She is narcissistic and it is confusing why. She is not pretty. She is not fun. She is not talented. Tamra is upset over her daughter not wanting to see her. What does she expect? She acts like a street walker, she talks like a truck driver and she chose to break their family apart. What is the confusion. Vickie IS the head honcho and understandably so. She is fun, she is cute, she is sincere. The other ladies need to get over the Brooks deal. People in love will do anything.
loisM32 This is the worst reality show ever, because it is not reality, but a somewhat planned/scripted insult to the intelligence of the viewer. The people on this show are either actors (Jo/Slade) trying to get to the big screen without any talent or other wannabes who forgot that they have skeletons in their closet which inevitably would come out. No one actually is ever shown living normally and the participants seem to have their friends come onto the show just to get them air time. Notice, if you can bear to watch, the unemotional face of Lauri, who is so Botoxed/surgeried to show any type of reaction to anything. Notice the children who are abused over and over again. (Where is CPS??) But then these are wealthy families who want to be envied and are beyond rules and the law. (We're rich; we don't have to be good) Everything is so planned and semi-scripted that calling this reality TV is a joke to the viewer whose IQ is above 10. Don't waste your time.
lemon_magic This is a prime example of a "reality" TV show that seems to have nothing to do with reality. Adjust your expectations accordingly. My room-mate dotes on this show, and I've got no problem with a viewer having a few "guilty pleasures". I used to watch "Braniac" when it was on G4TV a year or so ago, so I have no room to criticize other people's viewing habits, or what it might say about them. So I ended up watching several episodes of this show by default (and after a certain point, out of curiosity). As an aside, it is obvious that the show's producers were pretty ruthless about compressing sequences, omitting contextual details and (probably) manipulating things so that the subjects came out looking as bad as possible. So I tried to take that into account while watching the events unfold on screen. Still, even allowing for the bias thrown in by the series' scripters and editors, what you see on the screen here is simply appalling. It almost makes you think that maybe the Taliban is right, and that the way these people live is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. It's as if they all watched "Beverly Hills 90210" when they were growing up and took notes. I'm not saying that these people are evil. They aren't. They are just extraordinarily irritating in their narcissism and lack of anything resembling awareness, intelligence, taste, or even (in most cases) a work ethic. One exception may be the Playboy model-turned-Realtor, but even she doesn't seem to have all that much on the ball - the series makes it look as though a chimp could do her job if it could wear eye-liner. And the lady with the family and the cancer scare showed a bit of depth and humanity that I liked. She seemed to more motivated by genuine love of her husband and family than everyone else. She could be salvaged if she got out of that milieu; she might even turn into a real human being. Pretty much all the rest of the "cast" is "shallow to the core." And this isn't a sexist thing, either - most of the men in the series are just as bad (or worse) in their way, and most of the kids seem to be completely out of it - lazy, whiny, and spoiled. If nothing else, "OC" seems to show that you aren't doing your children any favors if you make things too easy for them. It's obvious that the best thing that could happen to most of these people would be to get tossed out of their little paradise/enclave and to have to rub shoulders with people with real problems and real jobs and real commitments. It would help restore their sense of proportion. But of course, with all the money they make by being narcissistic, pampered idiots on camera, that's not going to happen. Really weird. As a friend of mine would say, "These people will be the first up against the wall when the Revolution comes."
lambiepie-2 I didn't expect much from this alleged program - and when looking at it, not only was I right on - it was worse. Besides Desperate Housewives, this is one of THE worst shows for women...and men.Maybe this is playing well in some part of the United States and the World that finds this a guilty pleasure. Let me get one thing straight: The shows 'Dallas' and 'Dynasty' are a guilty pleasures - this is just plain sad.I guess this is a program to show you what happens when little girls who have no exemplary role models in their lives except for plastic dolls like "Barbie" grow up and have to maintain a job and/or household. This actually takes place is a crappy suburb that tries desperately to raise itself up to be like Beverly Hills, Chicago, The Hamptons and Miami .. but does nothing but make you wish that a big wave would come and wipe the whole County out so it could start all over again.These children's lives are sad and meaningless. The households are gutless. The women are very competitive with jewelery, fake boobs, shrieking "Bride of Frankenstein" voices, and dried out leathery skin that even makes George Hamilton blush. It's like watching the "walking dead" trying to stay alive by any means necessary - and that means finding "Ken dolls" with the appearance of lots of money.And the men...for goodness sake, who would WANT these self-centered whiners? These women are falling all over them because of..THE MONEY! And the men are perfectly fine with that. What a trophy!! I was waiting for a few of the guys in the series to bronze the women they have and stick them on the dashboard of their leased cars! But they wont do that because that means they'll have to KEEP them. These are men that would trade their women in quicker than their coveted cars once their butt starts to sag.Oh, but the children connected with these 'super-elastic bubble plastic' families. God help them. They may just go back to Orange county and wait until the next generation of vacuous self-designed "Barbies" or "Kens" come along that they can manipulate and support.It's Orange County, for goodness sake. Orange County is a nice place, a great place, many kids grow up there just fine. All the folks in this series are picked are squeezed (forgive the puns) into a "certain section" for entertainment value only.Be forewarned: This show will show you the incredibly debt ridden existence of pretentiousness. My guess after watching this show: These folks are lower middle to Middle-Middle class trying to show an Upper-Upper Class existence. Posers.Nothing but a show about whiny posers who think life is much better because they can now charge their boob jobs instead of being seen buying Jacqueline Smith fashions from K-Mart.
