I have lost track of how many reality shows Sharon Osbourne has been on, but I know the first was MTV Cribs, and that spawned the highly entertaining reality show The Osbournes, which changed reality television as we know it. It launched a jillion  celebrity reality shows where has-beens try to jump start their careers by airing their dirty laundry, or checking into rehab, or both. What followed were  a bunch of  shows about wanna-be celebs with serious addictions to hair extensions, botox and filler let people shoot them in the bathtub with their partners just to try and vie for some housewife air time, and lord knows the list goes on.

Frankly, no one has ever topped The Osbournes, and no design show has ever entertained me as much as Flipping Out, but for the love of all that is Oly, I like to watch high end design shows so much more than I like to watch  a bunch of tacky D.I.Y. kountry krafty krap that seems to have taken over the airwaves. Let’s see some real designers, the kind with degrees, experience, and mind-blowing portfolios. Let’s see some that have celebrity clients and no budget. It’s television. It’s fantasy.  Before you say anything, I don’t care that we’re all on IKEA budgets and one light fixture on one of these shows costs more than our yearly mortgage payments or a college education; it’s fun to watch dammit! Million Dollar Decorators premieres tonight at 10:00 EST  on Bravo and I cannot wait to see craziness ensue, or the overexposed Sharon Osbourne. Her houses usually look pretty cool, devil heads and all.  It looks like this show could produce some new entertaining guests for Andy Cohen’s show as well. Mazel!

    I don’t have cable, just DTV. Which means the Create channel of PBS. Which basically serves up nothing but the “tacky D.I.Y. kountry krafty krap” of which you speak.

    Ever seen Katie Brown Workshop? Oy. She slays me.

    Katheryn Ireland is the most authentic designer on the show. Jeffrey and Ross are so fake and hilarious to watch, it hurts. Have you been to Hungry Cat, exactly! Horrible. The spatial layout and the colours and fabrics are horrible. I feel like every time I see Jeffrey and Ross, its like watching a bad version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Sooooooo over seeing them on the show. Of course Jeffrey thinks Tavern is a great restaurant because he designed it, but have you sat in those ticky tacky chairs… EXACTLY!!!! So wasbee, and so from a women who is in her 60′s.

    THANKS

    i wouldn’t have such a problem if jeffrey and ross were authentic and cool and real, but they are not!!! ross is an imitation of jeffrey, so funny!! i know all he wanted to be was an actor, but guess what??? never happened. oops!!! i would hate to be ross. a total opportunist because he was so desperate and fake, and tried to blend into jeffrey, which somehow worked out, but what an opportunist. ross!! so desperate! lol. i would hate to come from south africa and be poor. i could only imagine it would suck…. suuuuuuuck!!!
