Braxton Family Values

Some has-been and her annoying, worthless siblings? THAT'S all it takes to warrant having your own television program?! Thanks KarTRASHians! You've opened the floodgates for valueless tripe TV.

This show is and always has been Reality TV gold! Each sister has their own unique personality. This is absolutely more entertaining than The Real Housewives or The Kardashians. Not to mention the Braxton sisters have actual talent. Braxton Family Values, does not get enough credit.

Not only is this show obviously scripted but it's badly scripted as well. The audience for this thing must work very hard to convince it's authentic because the only thing authentic about it is how boring, superficial, and unpleasant these people are. Maybe this would have more significance as a program if these were people who were truly famous. Like the Kardashians, they're famous for being famous, i.e., they have a cable show. They really have no special talent or anything to distinguish them except they seem to have money. But if they have so much money, why are they displaying themselves on television? Well, they really aren't going public with their private lives since this is written and produced by Reality Show Gurus. So, in the end, all this adds up to nothing. The most fascinating thing about shows of this sort about these kind of people is how Kendra, Honey Boo Boo, the Duck Dynasty clan, the Dugars, the Jersey Shore has beens, and other nobodies end up half-baked celebrities appearing in tawdry cable shows on channels no discerning viewer goes near unless they have a compulsion to have their intelligence insulted or even viciously assaulted.

On the episode of season 3, entitled Papa Knows Best, when everyone sits down with the Dad to discuss their issues, Tamar is wearing heels, and a minute later, Uggs, same scene. I know I read about another reality show that filmed a family dinner over the course of days in order to get everything right, so when there's a change in continuity such as shoes, I start to wonder. It could be when edited, they didn't think it important to show her changing her shoes, and therefore the change of shoes wasn't important to them. I just wonder because you are in the midst of this heated discussion, and you go and change shoes? I want to think it is real, as this s a great show, and I hope it s not scripted.

I love this show. It's funny, dramatic and real. Family is everything.
