I love Housewives NYC. I love the relationship that Alex has with her husband. You can see the love between them IS REAL. I do not notice this type of relationship with the other housewives. Alex has shown that you can have lots of money and true love too. Do you see that with the other housewives in the show?

Alex and her husband are nothing more than Wannabes. And it was so sad to see Ramona actually SHOCKED when Alex's husband showed her some attention in public. But I guess from someone who WARNS her poor daughter about how she'll be a penniless, Welfare receiving bag lady when her husband leaves her, it wasn't surprising to see her shocked that a man actually loves his wife. And her poor daughter Avery is being set up by Ramona to be a man loather who will live in pounce mode and on the defensive in her marriage waiting for the other shoe to drop. Instead of teaching her poor daughter to be suspicious and defensive of husbands maybe she should teach her to PICK A GOOD MAN. If she CHOOSES WISELY she won't have to have a back up plan for when her marriage fails. And she won't have to abandon her child(ren)to 100 hours in daycare while she saves for that dreaded day. How sad.

Great. A show about shallow boring twits for the east coast. With Gossip Girl, Cashmere Mafia, and this show, NYC is this year's new mecca for people striving to become self-absorbed rich idiots.

I guess the real NY housewives will be a really accurate representation of all New York...just like the OC version was.

Why rich (mostly Jewish) white women and not struggling welfare mothers? I'm equally likely to hate either group, but at least I won't feel guilty about hating wealthy ones!

you people are ridiculous. It's just entertainment, so what's the big deal? plus, I know these women and most of them are wonderful people. If you want the day to day struggles of welfare recipients or low income people in NYC then watch another show. No one is forcing you to watch this.

What's wrong with a reality show about the day to day struggles of welfare recipients or low income people in NYC?

We have reached the nadir of Jen Carlson's "cultural" posts.

At least they made the cast diverse by adding the Brooklynite.

Fake Mostly-Married Working White Women of New York City only on Bravo.... (Oh, were you expecting quality television on our channel? You're a couple of years too late.)

Peter said: "Why is the show called Real Housewives of New York City when none of the women are housewives?" Very astute observation! Looks like a lame show about rich white women. BORING.

These shows are like watching aliens or something.. no connection to reality.

#4 - I agree that the premise is moronic. Where's the hardworking welfare single mother with 3 kids?

And one of them isn't even married. You'd think they'd at least find wives to make up the show.

Yes, all the "Real" housewives of New York City are white, well off, and have fulfilling careers. You hear that New Yorkers. All you nonwhite, poor, schleps are FAKE? You're all just posers, the lot of you!
