July 29, 201113 yr I found the first episode boring. I'll probably only be watching for the shots of Cincinnati
July 29, 201113 yr This show is the perfect example of the typical insular culture that pervades Cincinnati socialites. In the first few minutes of the show they made almost five Grippos references. Who cares about that stuff outside of the Cincinnati region? No wonder why Gawker hated it. The show basically presents Cincinnati as a place that's got great looks but no depth. A real missed opportunity. “All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” -Friedrich Nietzsche

If there is anything to blame for the city having "no depth", I wouldn't be blaming the potato chips. It's got a lot more to do with they kind of show this is, the people in it, and the person who may be watching.
July 29, 201113 yr Besides, I can get Grippo's, Skyline and Burger beer here in Columbus. We've even got Deveroe's now.

It's got a lot more to do with they kind of show this is, the people in it, and the person who may be watching. I think the problem this show will face isn't the local references. They're up against the fact that since their birth in the mid 90's with the Real World, there has been a steady escalation of manufactured conflicts and staged 'real life' plot lines in reality programming. When the viewer is looking for a healthy dose of "oh no you didn't!!", a true reality show about 4 actual people living their actual lives is going to ultimately be a letdown.
July 29, 201113 yr It's a four week show made by Cincinnati State and airs after the late night local news on Sunday. It's not Bravo and it's not MTV, but so what? It is produced well and shows off a great urban environment. The city looks good and that's refreshing to see in HD. Gawker hated it because Gawker is for haters. Who cares what Gawker thinks? Anyone? And for those who like to pick apart the lives of people on TV, how would your life look if it was shrunk down into a 20 minute segment of "reality TV"? Kudos to the ladies for doing their thing regardless of the scrutiny. Good job, Cincinnati. FYI: Episode 3 will have a good bit of OTR.
