The Real Housewives of New York City, the spin-off reality television program on the Bravo Television Network perceives a better wrap and is actually worth watching than the original Orange County edition.
The show's first season premiered on March 4, 2008 with five New York City housewives, Bethenny Frankel, Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer, and Jill Zarin.
The series was renewed for a second season on April 15, 2008 and premiered last week welcoming the sixth housewife, Kelly Killoren Bensimon.
Even though the show is based on five females who are aspiring socialites, this edition of The Real Housewives actually has no real entree into Manhattan high society; but becomes an eye-opening look at the economic realities of New York at the dawn of the 21st century. This is something the Orange County edition fails to do.
The women’s personalities are not particularly unusual or distinct, they are actually the same kind of hasty, well-preserved and assertive as the women in Orange County; it’s their location that is a bit more sophisticated as New York is more widespread and more expensive than the women in California who only reside in Orange County.
These women of NYC don't mess around with overpriced SUVs or plastic surgery. All six women have actual careers, a massive social life, and a unique family life defining themselves more independent.
The season two premier is near superlative in its gossiping silliness as it is the mid of summer in the Hamptons and war breaks out among the housewives. After becoming stars in season one, the women are obviously excited to be squabbling again for the cameras and the public while attaining more fame.
Overall, this show is worth the hour of time one might usually spend web surfing or doing something else before the eleven o'clock news.
The Real Housewives of New York City airs on Bravo at 10pm eastern time. Click here for local listings. Click here to watch full episodes.
