| I watch them when I'm on the treadmill. It makes the time go by quickly. |

I wouldn't go that far. These women may be wealthy, but the old adage "money can't buy taste" is played out perfectly here. The overdone houses (though I do love Kyle's house), the incredibly tacky parties... ugh. But fun to make fun of. |

Oh, ok. What would you consider a "truly great" TV show, oh arbiter of good taste? Or is TV in general too 'lowbrow' for you?

+100 It's my own private TV time, before I go to sleep. Silly, guilty pleasure, but who cares? |

| It's like watching a soap opera. Just entertainment. I don't for one minute think these shows are real. Still enjoy them! |

| I watch my share of guilty pleasure reality TV but have never watched any of the housewives shows... which would be a good series to start with? |

Come on, OP. You are just trying to be a shit stirrer.
There is SO MUCH stupid crap on TV. Why does anyone watch 90% of what is out there? Are people supposed to watch news and the History channel all day? Remember OP, there are no dumb questions, just really dumb people. |

(Is that how we are supposed to answer, OP?) |

| I don't watch any of those but have been known to watch some trashy TV in my day. I do because it is entertaining and I can just turn my brain off for a little bit. I usually watched it while doing something else. And to answer another question, no never talked about it at work, parties, social gatherings, etc. I think the only person I talk to about TV is one of my friends because we like to watch cooking reality shows together and usually text each other during the show. |

I agree-and I LOVE Downton, Call the Midwife, Upstairs/Downstairs....as well as the housewives shows-it is just tv-pure entertainment nothing more. I adore House of Cards, Homeland, Mad Men, The Americans--all provide great entertainment!! I don't expect my television to do anything more than that. |

No, I watch way too much tv, including Downton and Housewives. I just don't pretend what I watch is some work of literature and art. |
