The Girls Next Door

It was dumb entertainment, which what can you expect from an old man and his sidekicks. The show was silly and obviously staged and it had its moments. I have to insist you skip season 6. The new girls were so monotone and dead in the eyes. They were incredibly cringe with dead fish personalities. At least the original 3 girls were fun enough to keep people watching. Hugh seemed nice enough but honestly we all know differently now.

This show is just typical of E! and unfortunately too many other networks. Trashy, stupid, and downright silly. But the sad thing is that a series like this gets aired because it's exactly what so many people (men and boys in their teens and 20's?) want to watch. I'm sure that Hugh Hefner is only allowing it to be done because he's making a ton of money off of it and it's giving him free publicity for his magazine, TV channel, etc. And, of course, it's the girls who are made to look really dumb, not him. Hefner's staff at the mansion must get paid a lot to put up with so much adolescent and selfish behavior - they seem to be the only real adults around there. No, this isn't the show to watch if you want anything meaningful or thought-provoking - it's not even funny or entertaining. Forget it.

I almost never watch E!. Can't stand the silly hype usually. But where I am living currently (abroad) there aren't too many options.

This show however is great. Actually one of the better reality shows I have seen, compared to "The Osbourns" for example and the rest, half of which I can't even remember.

The three ladies on the show are simply fun and the series just kind of sucks you in. Not so much for the T&A, just the fun of it all. Hef is admirable for his age, straight talking and easy going, a role model and inspiration for many. Not in the "traditional sense" perhaps, but still in a good way. With his 80 years of experience it's no wonder he could pick some charming ladies to be around and on the show as he has.

I was always curious what his life was like and this show satisfies.

Don't take it too seriously, just sit back and have some fun and relax with it.

Quite a simple concept really, but in this day and age not east to find on TV.

I absolutely love this show but i have to admit that the show wouldn't be what it is without Kendra. Kendra is one out of the three playboy playmates featured in this show, she is so hilarious and has the best personality. I honestly don't get why people hate on this show, if you don't like it then don't watch it. Anyways, each episode usually has to do with the girls going on trips or doing a photo-shoot,i definitely think it's one of the most entertaining shows out there right now. I have to admit that when i first heard about this show, i was like "are you serious?, i wouldn't watch this if you paid me", but it became one of my favorite shows. I highly recommend everyone to at least watch one episode of this show but i warn you, you will be hooked.

The Girls Next Door is funny light hearted television, in a not so funny light hearted world. I'm not quite sure the world of television has been entirely up to par in the past few years anyhow.

Is it thought provoking, and life altering? Maybe not, but it's just fun to watch. Sometimes, and some days you just need some light hearted entertainment.

If you don't agree with the show, or the participants then just turn the channel or hand yourself over to those DVD's you're so happy to own. Don't belittle other's successes (even if they aren't your notion of success). It's just TV, not brain surgery.
