Yet another Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous-style reality show. This time, it's from Bravo. In March,
it's looking into the world of real-life desperate housewives. The program is called The Real Housewives of Orange
County, and the title alone sounds like a cross between Desperate Housewives, The O.C., and
Laguna Beach. The series features five wealthy families that live in a very exclusive gated community in
Orange County, California. Bravo says the show, of which there are seven, one-hour episodes, focuses on the daily drama
and extravagance in the lives of the ladies of the house. Most of the women aren't stay-at-home moms, but are successful
in their careers. The descriptions of the women sound intriguing: one is a big fan of plastic surgery, another is a
devout Christian, another is recently divorced, and yet another is a 20-something newcomer to the neighborhood who just
got engaged to an older resident. The Real Housewives of Orange County premieres on Tuesday, March 21 at 10
pm.[Via The Futon Critic]
