the real housewives

The Real Housewives of... is a reality series which airs in the United States on the cable network Bravo, and various other broadcasters internationally. The series follows the lives of relatively affluent, bourgeois housewives and professional women in the suburban or urban areas of several American cities, and the suffix portion of the title takes on the name of that city or suburban region.

The first Real Housewives series, The Real Housewives of Orange County, premiered in March 2006. To date there are five different versions of the series airing at various times throughout the year; the shows follow women in Orange County, New York City, Atlanta, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., Beverly Hills. The first three series will enter syndication in the majority of U.S. markets five days a week starting in September 2010.

The title is a play on the television series, Desperate Housewives, which provided the base concept for the series. However, the premise of the fictional series, detailing the life of one suburban neighborhood, is not applied to the real series, where the women can be either next door or several miles apart in their respective regions, but still are close friends or in overlapping social circles (as some of the subjects are antagonistic to each other).
