'Real Housewives of D.C.' in development?
According to Bravo TV's Twitter feed, Real Housewives of D.C. is in development.
Holy. Moly.
Once I finish getting through all these Jon & Kate comments, I will see if I can track down more information.
UPDATE: Here is a little bit more from a press release from Bravo:
"We're tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.'s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders - the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city's diverse political and social circles," said [Frances Berwick, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Bravo Media].
A place for power and politics, Bravo is scouting the D.C. area to identify the city's alluring and discriminating residents, those women who have their pulse on the most important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings and fundraisers in Washington society. These leading members of D.C. society are in the know and comfortable discussing everything from the economy to high fashion. They are the talk of the town in the most powerful city in the world.

I love the Real Housewives series. I wish Maryland would be considered for a future season.

Sorry NotableM, Maryland is such small potatoes there is no chance a reality show about rich housewives would fly. The closest we will ever come is the DC version which could cast a housewife from say, Bethesda.
SKK, can you please cover The Little Couple. That is the most adorable show I've ever seen. It's definitely refreshing to see a loving couple on tv following the Jon & Kate catastrophe.

If they want "real housewives", then maybe they should get realistic housewives, not the uppity fake ones that on most of these shows are either single, divorced, or their husbands are off in other countries cheating on them. But then I guess that wouldn't be all that interesting and no one would watch...
SKK: Sadly, I think that's exactly what would happen. I think when the show started, it was trying to capitalize on the popularity of Desperate Housewives, so they got a bunch of drama-mongers. Thanks to their popularity, the hits just keep on coming. Bleh.
