Quotes:

[discussing the curved champagne glass]
Nick:It's got a little lean to it. Kind of reminds you of something else, doesn't it?
Jessica:Okay.
Nick:Oh, I can't help myself.
Jessica:Don't be nasty. And don't tell everybody you lean.

Excellent

As you can tell by my name I am a huge Jessica Simpson fan and as far as I'm concerned she can do no wrong, so when i heard she was doing her own reality show i was so excited.

Jessica and Nick Lachey (although unfortunately no longer together) are a perfect couple and they really play on the 'cute couple thing' Jessica also plays the part of 'ditzy blonde' really well, although she isn't really that stupid when you look at how successful shes been.

The series starts with footage of their wedding day, then we move in to their home life and watch them fit in to married life. We witness arguments, kissing and joking together. The series moves on and we meet both their families including Jess's sister Ashlee (also has her own reality TV show). Last series show Jess and Daisy May (her dog Nick bought her for her birthday) moving down south to play the part of Daisy Duke in the Dukes of Hazzard movie.

I would definitely recommend this box set to any one especially Jessica Simpson fans ... its a must have!!!
