Who was the winner in Sunday’s cable ratings? From TheFutonCritic, it was, again, the Real Housewives of Atlanta… in their new time slot of 8 pm.
Which shows came in second and third???
HoneyBooBoo was in one of those slots… not THIS HoneyBooBoo…
THIS HoneyBooBoo!
HOWEVER… it’s NOT “Here Comes Honey BooBoo” that Bravo is skeered to put the RHOA up against in their regular 9 pm time slot… it’s the History Channel’s “AX MEN”!
NOTE: Come on, Bravo! Let’s see you put the Real Housewives of Atlanta back in their regular time slot of 9 pm! Let’s see you play with the BIG BOYS in the ratings!!
***********************************
Bravo has given the green light to a brand new type of “reality” show to add to their “throw anything against the wall and see if it sticks” type of programming. This new “reality” show seems a bit behind in its subject matter, as Jo Frost has already done as much as she possibly could for all the little toddler terrors in the US. Nanny Jo has gone back to England… and Bravo is just now putting out their new “parenting” show!
From NBCUniversal:
Bravo Media announced that it has greenlit “Extreme Guide to Parenting,” (working title), a new series following parents who practice unique styles of raising their children. Each episode will give a candid inside look at two separate households with very different forms of parenting — and each family strongly believes their methods are the perfect model for raising successful children. Some extreme parenting techniques include:
- Attachment: Parents who breastfeed their children until age four…or older.
- Helicopter: Parents so protective they use disguises to monitor their offspring’s every move.
- Fiercely Competitive: Parents who enroll their children in Mandarin Chinese courses before they can spell.
- Free-Range: Parents who believe saying “no” to their child is equivalent to corporal punishment.
- New Age: Parents who raise their children with techniques that complement their child’s aura.
“Whether you have kids or you’re stuck next to the screaming child on a plane, judging other people’s parenting is a guilty pleasure. We all love to do it,” said Eli Lehrer, Vice President of Development for Bravo. “The series explores all manners of eccentric ways parents raise their kids, and we’ll let the viewer be the judge of how they’re doing.”
The parents featured on the show are confident in their methods, no matter how unorthodox. But don’t let the initial outrageousness fool you: these parents love their kids.
Produced by Punched In The Head with Craig D’Entrone and Amelia D’Entrone serving as executive producers.
NOTE: Heard that the first episode of this new Bravo parenting show will deal with “Attachment”… and will be using some Bravo in-house talent from New Jersey!!

If you missed @ClosetFreak__ latest review of the RHOA, we did, too! We honestly don’t have time to search, so very happy that SH reader “Clauz” sent us the link to Closet’s latest ATL review!
(Thanks to SH readers “HousewifeHoe” and “Clauz”!!!)
Noticed on last episode of ALT that Phaedra had a “brown” male secretary.NeNe had a “brown” realtor too in LA.They are really keeping it “brown” in ALT.Kenya Asst is a mixed or high yellow but still “brown” in color.NBC used to stand for something like that too.
Cynthia kisses Ne Ne ‘s ass too much for me.She is a different person around her and then tries to play when around the rest of the women.Cynthia has changed too much from the beginning.She has copped a real snotty attitude like she is just drop dead gorgeous with all the dark circles under her eyes.
I so agree about Cynthia,,,,she’s getting on my nerves almost as much as Nene and her ‘arrival’.
Im glad I am not the only one that feels that way.
Didn’t I hear Nene tell Andy that she helped get Kenya on the show??? Now Nene is using Kenya’s furniture in CA in her ‘rented’ home…wonder if that’s Kenya’s house, too? Something fishy is going on with that bunch from Atlanta, and who is it that Nene has so much pull with to get people on that show?
Oh gosh.Yall know Lana Fooks will be a shoe-in for that extreme parenting thing. Amy’s head will spin clean off her shoulders.
Wouldn’t you hate to have a last name like that lady has????lololol….My dentist’s last name is Falkoff, and boy, it’s hard not to mispronounce it, since it just seems to want to come out natural….I just try to stick with plain ole ‘doc’…for fear of a slip of tongue.
That sounds like one of the stupidest shows to waste time even messing with,,,,I doubt seriously I’ll be tuning in to see if it’s worth my time….I’m way past the age of kids anyway, in fact, I’m so past them I’m past Grand, and am about to up it to Great! Just what I wanted to be a dam great grandma. I will not be doing babysitting, nor will I spend a fortune being Santa…..grandma is done with Santa except for my first grandchildren who are still in school. Anyone besides me sick of Santa?
Thats funny. Ya know I would HAVE to mispronounce it. How could ya not with all them fangers and cotton and that dreaded crank thing that jacks your jaw all to be danged they put in your mouth? My dentist is an old family friend so he used to get me all gassed up and tell me about how wild my momma used to be at partied they attended together and then had a good ole time outa me trying to tell him who I felt on that gas. Good times. My momma was just made a great grandmother last month. So special. Congrats on your new lil life on the way. Do you know what its gonna be yet?
Congrats! I’m gonna be a great in March or Feb…a little girl.
“Not THIS honeybooboo”
cute!
Bravo is too late with their parenting freak shows….remember Wife Swap? Andy probably wants his own Bubble Boy:)
