And I have since he got Bristol pregnant. Actually since he started playing Varsity Hockey, cuz that was the legal moment to start hearting him. It was, right? Anyway I am beyond amused and tickled that sweet Levi is on a press tour promoting ....

Well I don't know exactly what he's promoting but I think it's a "My Former Almost Baby-Mama-In-Law is Stoopid" Tour. And I mean Ann Curry could only scratch her head yesterday morning. Literally I saw her scratch her freaking head during the interview. I saw it.

Now, Levi is certainly a Jew, right? I mean are there people named Levi who aren't Jewish? And that Jew-ness is why he didn't fit in with Tripp and Trumpet and Trollup and Troll and Trivet, right? It's cuz of the Jew thing the he's not still in da bed with abstinence lovin' Bristol.

Well Levi you'll fit in with us in NYC so why don't you stay a while .... Here's what else: let me propose a dinner with you and the kids from NYC PREP and we'll watch what happens. That would be something else.

And on that note, there's a new episode of NYC PREP tonight followed by the premiere of MIAMI SOCIAL. I am getting a huge chuckle out of the reviews this morning. The NEW YORK TIMES' Ginia Bellafante gave it what I'd consider a rave. She calls Bravo "the cable channel that is subversively summoning Americans to proletarian revolt." And she continues: "If you listen to the reunion show of The Real Housewives of New Jersey backward, you will hear a call to arms: "Join brothers and sisters in tearing down the onyx and the chandeliers." Bravo is not run by faceless executives; it is run by the ghost of Joe Hill. "

That's funny. But the MIAMI HERALD's Glenn Garvin ran what is probably the funniest — and meanest — reviews I've read. He hates the show and thinks it's an embarrassment to Miami, and civilization itself.

"I'm not saying Miami Social is so bad it's good. I'm saying it's so bad it will make you regret being born with eyes. I'm saying it's so bad that if you saw a member of the cast burst into flames on the street, you wouldn't waste your spit putting him or her out. I'm saying Osama bin
Laden, if he sees it, will weep bitter tears of frustration that he went after the wrong American city."

I actually think MIAMI SOCIAL is the perfect summer show. It's stupid and sexy fun, and the tale of George and Lina is gripping reality.

Thankfully it is so bad, that it is funny --- and these people really think that they are "special" and "someone" when in reality, they are not any different than anyone else! But...they think that they are "trend setters" "style guru's" whatever --- Just like the Fashion Show, where Isaac does not have mirrors to look at himself, the Miami Social people have tons of mirror because they need to look at themselves (no one else really cares) --- The best show that I have seen on Bravo was Top Chef Masters, LAST NIGHT, where the Chef's actually were supportive of one another, nice to each other, and it appeared genuine, and real. The rest of Bravo is fluff!

Oh Andy,

Miami Social is a total disaster in terms of reality TV production. There is no central theme to thread the stories, there is no on camera commentary, it looks really boring and messy. I am a big fan of the real housewife series, Kathy Griffin (feel bad for her about the Appollo), work-out and the NYC prep, but Miami Social is just terrible.

Thanks for the many outstanding Bravo TV series.

: 07/19/2009 - 3:55pm; Deborah; I love you and think you are hysterical. Your shows are my friends and my guilty pleasure. We are all college graduates with busy lives filled with jobs, friends, and families and when we are not volunteering our time to make our community a better place it is fun to have something escapist to watch. For goodness sakes, we can't be watching the news or Discovery Channel (or children's shows with our little ones ((Ashley)) every minute! Thank you and keep it up.

: 07/16/2009 - 7:22pm; Patty U; I hope you were being honest in your feelings about Miami Social, because as my husband put it, no wonder the rest of the world hates us, if they think this is what happens on a weekly basis in our homes, schools and business'.
