Bravo Is Bonkers for Housewives and Other Real Stuff

The Real Housewives of New York City by Jay Sullivan/Bravo
Bravo on Tuesday unveiled its new development slate, and I'll be damned if every show doesn't fall into one of two categories:

• New season of existing reality show

• Spin-off of an existing reality show

Specifically, you may look forward to:

Summer 2008
Flipping Out (Season 2)
Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-list (Season 4 premieres June 12)
Project Runway (Season 5; July)
Shear Genius (Season 2)

TBD
Million Dollar Listing (Season 2)
The Millionaire Matchmaker (Season 2)
The Real Housewives of New York City (Season 2)
The Real Housewives of Orange County (Season 4)
Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (Season 2)
Top Chef (Season 5)
Top Design (Season 2)
Date My Ex (starring Real Housewives' Jo de la Rosa and Slade Smiley)
The Real Housewives of New Jersey
The Rachel Zoe Project (starring the celeb stylist)

Series in development include Tabatha's Salon Takeover, starring Shear Genius contender Tabatha Coffey.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey? Really??? Unless it is the lives of actual real housewives from new Jersey and not these fakey wann bes like on the other two "Real" shows, spare me. On second thought, spare me either way.

And I thought Runway was moving to Lifetime or is that after Season 5?

I think after Season 5, Buffy Freak.

And meh, after it moves, I can see I won't have any reason to watch Bravo anymore.

Thanks Dia. I still love Kathy Griffin and watch Top Chef. But I at least sampled Top Design, Shear Genius, Work Out, Flipping Out, Millionaire Matchmaker, Million Dollar Listing and the Housewives Shows and they are all pretty dreadful.

I'm glad they're bringing back Runway in the summer. We had to wait a whole year for season 4!

I guess I'm in the minority here because I love all the shows and am looking forward to all of them, EXCEPT Date My Ex. Slade and Jo are horrible phonies.

Does anyone know if Bravo cancelled the "Inside the Actors Studio" series with James Lipton? If so, what a shame!!
