The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Hits Buzz Meter

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills debut was Thursday night, and the show, featuring Kim and Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump-Todd, Adrienne Maloof-Nasif, and Camille Grammer. Kelsey Grammer is featured with (who's just divorced) his wife Camille Grammer, where she informs all that she's the boss of the family. At EW PopWatch, Ken Tucker said they and the show were "needy, sad, depressed, and depressing."

It's a show of big houses, big money, and big hair. All of the women have a lot of hair, great legs and are spoiled rotten. What would they do without their limos, nannies and doggies? It's more like The Lifestyles of The Rich And Famous meets The Real Housewives Of Atlanta. Lisa VanderPump, sounding more like Robin Leach than herself says of her home "It really is like a fantasyland. There's everything you need here."

Does that include a therapist?

Maloof seems more down to earth, informing viewers that she and her brothers of the Maloof Family have a hard work ethic that came from their father, saying "It's wonderful to have money, but you have to work for it. We've been hard workers our whole life."

There's nothing really earth-shattering or dramatic about this installment in the "Real Housewives" series. Let's see if it picks up the pace.
