I thought the Kardashians were bad!

Okay, the reality show premise is five housewives of New York City. Housewives do housework but they have maids and housekeepers to take care of that and nannies and Au pairs to look after their children. I know this is supposed to be the East Coast version of the Real Housewives of Orange County, California. Okay, these five women are pretty shallow, self-indulgent, vain, conceited, and totally in love with themselves. I forgive their husbands who pay the ultimate price of the marriage. They look like fools! The wives don't really need a lot of the luxuries but they have so much money that they have to spend it endlessly on themselves. Of course, there is the charities and fund-raisers but they probably spend more money on the dresses to go to the functions to be seen and heard. I bet there were a thousand or hundreds of eligible housewives. They narrowed it down to those who look like they posed out of swimsuit issues. They are as deep as a shallow pool and are as nearly interesting. I find it incomprehendable when one of the wives makes a snide comment about living in the suburbs. I live in the New Jersey suburbs and I know that many people can't afford to live here neither. There are thousands or millions of us struggling to get by on small paychecks. Maybe Bravo can do a show on the real housewives of New Jersey. They don't have the time to socialize with each other when they are too busy working two or three jobs and chauffeuring their children from place to place. I was appalled by the cost of a purebred dog at $1800.00. Where is PETA? This is an outrage when are thousands of dogs and cats eligible for adoption. The show is just too shallow for me. It's like watching a train wreck.
