Are Andy Cohen and his fellow network executives getting DESPERATE for new programming????

Married to Medicine: Watched maybe 1 1/2 episodes total. First, if I had a doctor and his wife was on this show and I saw how TRASHY his wife is --- I would find a new doctor STAT!

LA Shrinks: Seriously?

Bravo's Top Ten Weddings.... YAWN

Spinoffs like Kandi Factory.... YAWN..... and the latest I heard about "I Dream of NeNe" ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS??????????????????????????????????????????? ?

They are stretching whatever they can possibly do to create new programs. Why not just go with what they HAVE?

Granted, the Housewives programs are so predictable: Who's going to scream the loudest; who's going to pull whose hair off; etc but they're fun to watch (my personal faves are NYC and BH. I have no use for the others)

Million Dollar Listing (NY and LA ) are interesting

Why not just put out more episodes of what's already working and getting ratings and sponsors???? Why create all these other programs that are just so ridiculous?!?!

And these movies they show over and over and over and over on the weekends. Sigh.

Why don't they go back to what they used to show? Artsy stuff. Keep Top Chef and Actor's Studio. More movies and musical programming would be cool as well as stand up comedy specials.

The Housewives have run thier course, IMO

The Housewives shows are what catapulted Bravo into superstardom. I heard about a year ago that Bravo was going to get rid of the Housewives shows and do something else but it seems that's not going to happen.

I'm not crazy about any of the "Chef" shows --- I'm just not THAT into cooking!

Actors Studio is cool. Is that even on regularly anymore?? I only see it once in a while and sometimes they'll do early morning "marathons" of it.

Andy really needs to get some new ideas or his network is going to go back downhill.

I wish they would bring back: Mad Fashion (LOVE Chris March!), Fashion Hunters (LOVE Fashion!), Gallery Girls (couldn't stand them but loved to watch!); NYC Prep (another group I couldn't stand but loved to watch!)

Totally agree! The Housewives need to go!

Think it's simply cash grabbing going on over there. It's without regard to quality and zero to do with reality. Can we get a new term for this crap? None of it is reality in any way shape or form.

For a while, they called it "unscripted television" or "life unscripted". Apparently, it didn't appeal to the viewers so they stopped using those terms.

I can't watch a second of Atlanta housewives (biggest trash to ever hit television). I refuse to watch NJ housewives (will NOT help to line the pockets of that group of pond scum). OC housewives are another group of trash. Weren't they the first housewives show? I never watched them back then but I heard the show was about their fabulous lives, shopping, lunching, etc. Now, all the commercials I see for them are about screaming, throwing drinks in others' faces, etc.

The only two I can watch are NYC and Beverly Hills. I think those are the best of the lot.

They are just competing for air time. The more outrageous your behavior the more time you get.

I like LA Shrinks, but I don't see it really lasting that long.

I assumed Gallery Girls was just on hiatus.

I like OC,NYC, and Miami as far as the Housewives go.

I really like Watch What Happens Live as well.

Dukes of Melrose is fun. I wish it was an hour long.
