The new show seems to have a distinct lack of the woman who put on rubber gloves to smoke. As I've not seen this show, and nobody will ever will see the other, it's hard to say of course, but this one seems considerably better. Focus seems to be more "here are reasons why what you think you know of OKC aren't true" as opposed to "look, all your hicktown prejudices are right! Point and laugh at the rednecks!".

I'll check it out. Looks like it might be kind of funny.

She's one of the three women in the preview...

*watches again*

Aw crap, there she is. Is she in for like the comic relief roll your eyes bless her soul role?

Sweet Home Oklahoma is beyond stupid. It's not even the right state in the song. Makes no sense. I have a feeling this show will be as stupid as the title.

Now known as Sweet Home Oklahoma, premieres March 20 at 9pm on Bravo.

God help us that looks terrible :rolleyes:

Honestly this looks more like Duck Dynasty than a classic Bravo show.

God help us that looks terrible :rolleyes:

Name a "reality" show that wasn't terrible.

That was a pretty funny reality show. Very entertaining.

Beauty and the Geek wasn't bad, had some redeeming value in that people appeared to learn how to be better socially (not sure if any of it stuck, though), instead of being screaming, flaming a**holes all the time.

LOLwork was freaking hilarious.

30 Days was hosted by Morgan Spurlock where a person or group would spend 30 days immersing themselves in a particular lifestyle or environment with which they are unfamiliar (e.g., working for minimum wage, being in prison, a Christian living as a Muslim). It was tremendous show. Of course, most people who started the show based their opinions our of ignorance and were completely transformed by the experience. You can find old episodes online and I highly recommend it.

Here's the Muslim episode:

Saw the attorney, err i mean "photographer" and his wife at the garage in midtown before the game last night. Were wearing cupcake shirts. No film crew with them

Did you ask for an autograph?

Not sure if anyone got into these but even as scripted as they were, I liked the ones like Operation Repo and South Beach Towing.

I wish there was a show based in OKC (not a reality show) that wasn't about hillbilly`s or dumb@ss rich people.

The first was the last: COPS.

Reminder that Sweet Home Oklahoma premiers tonight on Bravo at 9pm.

So, what's the scoop? Did anyone watch it last night? How much of a trainwreck was the show - or was it actually somewhat good?

You can watch in on-line at the link below.

They go to Powerhouse and generally act like all narcissistic realty show stars, where they are over the top in every way possible in the aid of appearing more interesting than they are.

BTW, I'm not a fan of reality TV (to put it nicely) but even in that world I'm having a hard time seeing the appeal of this show.

What is the angle here? Middle aged housewives griping about their kids and exes? Hasn't this been done a thousand times and with far more interesting people?

I suspect the angle is going to be "wild liberals in an alt-right world" but of course these people would only be viewed as strong lefties in Oklahoma and not to the large majority of people tuning in from everywhere else.

I know these channels are in desperate need for content and that reality shows like this are super cheap to make, I just don't see how anyone is going to care, other those of us in OKC who tune in to see how our city is portrayed. And I don't even think that will hold interest for very long.

Definitely agree here. I watched the first ten minute preview and even considering it is crappy reality TV this was uninteresting -- and I was at least excited to see familiar OKC sites. I found the women quite obnoxious, not a good a great reflection of folks here, and I had zero reason to be interested in their lives. (The NonDoc review of it noted that they really are progressives because one of them was an actual Hillary Clinton fan... imagine that!). I don't see this show succeeding, but what do I know...

I caught the last 15-20 minutes of the second episode last night. I think the JohnTV YouTube videos about prostitution in OKC are more worthwhile than this show.

'Sweet Home Oklahoma' appears to be akin to the same reality series as Real Housewives of: Beverly Hills, New York City & Atlanta. Not my cup of tea.

Several glimpses of the OKC Skyline, Oklahoma River, Nichols Hills etc.

Great escape form the SyFy channel.

It looks like the all the other housewives shows, except all the women are single moms (one is sort of married). I had friends from out of state watch it....The good: they show Nichols Hills and Midtown and not the tumble weed laden prairie that most people think Oklahoma is. They show several high end areas that are wooded...not the farms and flat land. The women are obviously well off...(traditional Bravo housewives style) but seem a bit more grounded. The bad: They randomly select "street" oklahomans to answer random questions....like "what do you do for exercise in oklahoma?" They show two very large people with very thick accents and they say something akin to "well, we go out and shoot guns." (eyeroll).... Its a train wreck like all of those shows....that you cant help but watch for mindless time filling.

Couldn't even get through one episode of it - just plain nasty, disgusting people (absolutely nobody needs to see dog turds on someone's carpet, as one example, and not sure if that was the same dog that was labelled as a "service dog", which it obviously isn't, she's just using that as a BS excuse to take it wherever she wants). I predict it'll run for a long time...

They exercise their second amendment rights!! lol that was the only redeeming part of the show! I would much rather watch a show with only the "street people" (not sure why that was in a negative context) than these ladies who really have nothing interesting to say. I liked seeing OKC on TV but this show is painfully boring.

I thought it was hilarious. I suspect the majority of comments here don't come from the Bravo demographic.

They seem to be smart ladies, and are kind to one another which is a refreshing change for Bravo. They say they love to live in OKC and would not live anywhere else. I don't feel like they are making fun of OK. The "man on the street" stuff is stereotype but funny and hey, they probably didn't have to work too hard to find it!

Which is what?

Honestly curious.

If anything, OKC can add this to its resume.
There are many people who believe there's no such thing as bad publicity. Some people may want to visit OKC after seeing this show, who knows?

From Wikipedia:


A study released in May 2008 ranked Bravo as the most recognizable brand among gay consumers.

I suppose this is the demographic they are going for.

nm

You can't blame all that on the Gays Pete!!..lol
I know Bravo probably does have a huge Gay demographic as most shows are produced and created by Andy Cohen. But it seems most the people I ever hear talk about the housewife series and other Bravo reality shows are women. I know when I worked in the office it seemed all the women would talk about Bravo shows or big brother all the time.

I'm scared to say it, but I actually enjoyed it. But then again, I love all reality tv. It's a guilty pleasure of mine.

They seem like smart and funny ladies... Parts of it seemed scripted like the step counter on the dog (maybe not), but for the most part it was just your typical reality show garbage that I live for. :p

I'm interested to see if the druggie dad starts to practice law again.

Which is what?

Honestly curious.

Ha, women!

Nichols Hills can add it their resume.

I liked it. This might sound odd, but I enjoyed the vulgar nature of the show. OKC needs more of that. Not as much as LA, but I use a lot of profanity and tend to be more crude and I'd like to see more of that in OKC. Perhaps it's weird, but I see it as more of a big city thing.

What's the over/under on the chance that the people on the street interviews are not some rando on the street but actors or people connected with the show?

This isn't the only time you've said something like this. I'm getting the feeling more and more that you're a teenager because you think profanity is cool. Do you also listen to death metal or hard core rap because that's cool too?

Whatever you want to say man. You're entitled to your opinions.

Hey Man! Whtat's wrong with death metal or hard core rap? Lots of great art from talented people in those genres.

Hey Man! Whtat's wrong with death metal or hard core rap? Lots of great art from talented people in those genres.There are. I am passionate about music and about to begin courses at MI in their sound engineering classes to produce music. I am passionate about all kinds of music. I am not a fan of heavy metal, but rap is one of my favorite genres. My main love for it, get this, isn't for the profanity(gasp lol), it's for the beat. But I suppose the profanity these artists use makes them teenagers like me even though I'm 23. Smh.

This isn't the first time either Traxx has came at me for me claiming I like to speed or cuss. I have never placed anyone here on ignore because even though there are posters I can't stand, I like differing opinions to be able make me think and contrast my ideas, but Traxx is just flat out annoying and I'm getting close to making an exception.

I'll follow Pete's rule of address the point and not the poster and just let it go.

mindless entertainment. just like all reality tv for me. I'll watch it, just to see how OKC/Oklahoma is represented.

Hey Man! Whtat's wrong with death metal or hard core rap? Lots of great art from talented people in those genres.

Yeah, bad example. I realize now I probably should've said Screamo.

I have friends from out of state watch the show.....the good: "Thought Oklahoma was flat and trailers!!"" Look at those, trees, those houses, that lake, etc. " Nichols Hills is beautiful, they are showing that, the midtown restaurants etc...."Cant believe that is Oklahoma, its beautiful!!"

the bad: the random quote people....doesn't change that perception of us as dumb downed hicks.

In the last episode where they went to Grand Lake...

"Bogie" (owner of GL house) is Brian Bogert who owns Jones Assembly and the local Texadelphia and Fuzzy's franchises.

I thought the second episode was much worse than the first. It mainly consisted of them seeing how crude they could be and wasn't as funny. I'm sure the producers encourage that, however.

I barely made it through one episode. It was as terrible as any other "reality" show. But then again, I hate "reality" shows and competitions shows and their ilk. They are all just terrible excuses for entertainment.

The most recent episode focused on two of the lead women trying to get the other to get rid of her sippy cups.

There was also a brief scene at Sophabella where the sippy cup woman talked a lot about how she doesn't wear panties.

Riveting!

I watched last night's episode and part of the grand lake episode. Is this show getting good reviews? I have never watched any of the Bravo shows, but this was really hard to watch.

What's the over/under on the chance that the people on the street interviews are not some rando on the street but actors or people connected with the show?

i first thought they were some random actors but I actually knew one of the girls they interviewed during the Grand lake episode or sippy cup episode. She is a native oklahoman, went to high school with her

Do they know someone at Bravo? How did they get a show? The first episode was good, but the rest have just been dumb... These girls don't even do anything worthwhile. It doesn't show them at work or anything to give you a sense of what they do when the cameras are off. It just shows them trying to prank each other...

I have a feeling this show ain't returning for a second season.
