This just in- I received the latest scoop on some of our most high profiled celebrities on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Every Thursday over 2 million viewers tune into the bickering, wig pulling, scream matching, scenes between these5 women eho have been caught by the celeb bug. Yesterdday marked the season finale of the series and it didn't disappoint. It was entertaining but what the show lacks is depth.
These women claim to be the elite of Atlanta BUT live no where near Atlanta. They are not from Buckhead- which is where the wealthy live. NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield have their homes sponsores by Bravo. Lisa had to downsize due to foreclosure and Kim depends on a sugar daddy for her lifestyle. These women are Broke Phi Broke.
I was excited when Bravo signed on Black women to the RH franchise but this is a shallow epitome of what WE represent. The bickerness is tacky- lets see some movers and shakers.
In 2010, the real housewives franchise will introduce the D.C version. I can only home that they can get some driven women.
I think if The Housewives of Atlanta didn't brag about being wealthy but just kept it REAL it owuld be a different story. If you can't pay the mortage. then maybe you shouldnt be on the show.

The C-ccccc CORNY Cleveland Show-
It's been 3 or 4 episodes of the Cleveland Show- let me rephrase this- it's been 3 or 4 episodes of The Corny Cleveland Show. The mere fact that I do not know the episode # as oppose to 90210 which is on episode #7 proves that something isn't right.
So I tried to do an analysis on the Corny Show (which is its new show). They have a great cast- Sanaa Lathan and Nia Long- but they're not funny people. Sure they can act their A**es off but they're not known for their humor. And then there's the guy who plays Cleveland-- that's another story. My take- This is a Spin off of Family Guy which means they should have developed a comedic cast that they execute the lines to the writers' vision. They need the voice- these actors don't have the voice. Get Chris Tucker, Sommore, Chris Rock, even Monique, Wanda Sykes. These people are animators and can bring a cartoon to life.
Second is the story line- I understand trying to create a family for Cleveland but COME ON - were the HELL does the BEAR come in. It's not cool and he's not cool. He's not BRIAN. Lose the BEAR. Seriously. He will not be missed from the show as he looks like an annoyance.
Third- Change the characters- The Cleveland Show would have been better with a different story line. He should have married a white woman after what happened with Loretta. This would have created drama and humor- this is what people love.
I think TV creators are forgetting the point of developing a show. TV shows are suppose to be an escape from reality. When we turn on a show we want to be the characters not the person that just came home from a 10 hour workday.
The Cleveland Show creates a BLAH- where's the comedy. This show has the potential to be sooo much more!
