Yes, it's an actual show coming to Bravo in May:

FIRST LOOK: The Real Housewives of New Jersey - PEOPLE TV Watch

I am morbidly curious about this, if not quite excited... Anyone else curious to see how our lovely state is presented?

Hopefully, they will be more down to earth and less snooty than the other ones! After all, Jersey girls are the best! I do watch that show all the time though! I prefer the OC ones to NY though.

You're joking right? Have you watched any of the other Housewives shows? They manage to take every pompous, obnoxious, annoying stereotype of that respective area and boil it down to 5 women.

I shudder to think of the characters they picked for this show. It's probably people that don't even know about, let alone have ever been anywhere west of 287.

I barely tolerate the Housewive of OC if my wife is watching and that's only because some of them are attractive.

If I had to guess it will be similiar to the Gotti show from awhile back.
No thanks.
People who actually are rich would not be likely to do this show.
There are plenty of interesting women out there not married to criminals but they will focus on the extremes for ratings.
Extremely tacky.

all these "reality" shows are so staged it's ridiculous

I can't wait to watch it. LOL. The one wife, Dina Manzo, I believe was on Platinum Weddings when she married her husband. They were married at the catering/banquet hall her husband and brother run. They were a wreck then. Yes, I know it's all trash and there is no redeeming value to these shows, but I love 'em. Mindless brain junkfood at it's best. Let the stereotyping begin!!!

And where would the fun in that be? LOL. Noooooo-they're going to be gum cracking, fake nail wearing, exaggerated twangy tawking, gaudy jewelry wearing messes...at least I hope so.

This is food for the NY media sharks. Jersey jokes abound.
They will find the most god awful, tacky, rich women they can find & plaster them all over the TV.

Bravo needs to spin The Real Housewives of New Jersey Abbott edition get a perspective of how the other end of the spectrum lives. Now that would be much more interesting.
