Being Bobby Brown

When the show first aired I was not interested at all. I thought the show would be cheesy and stupid. But, after talking with my mother, who is sooooo square, she told me that she had been watching the show and what she thought I had to tune in. I LOVE the SHOW!!!!! It's sooooo REAL and FUNNY!!!!!! Being a Black Woman in America I identify so well with Whitney & Bobby's relationship. Yes they are RICH, I am not, but I am still able to identify with the reality in which they live. I have watched all the episodes so far, and I continue to watch the reruns. This is the BEST Reality Show I have ever seen. If you are a closed minded person and can not identify with how others live, their ethnicity and their culture, then the show isn't for you. If not meeting Mrs. Houston-Brown at a production company where I worked and seeing the show, I would have never thought in a million years that she was soooooo DOWN TO EARTH. I have a NEW respect for Mrs. Houston-Brown and Mr. Brown. Nobody is PERFECT, but they are doing a GREAT JOB as being a couple, and Parents. Even though they are RICH, you would never know because of their honesty and integrity of who and what they are. You can feel the Love within their Family. Yes they have arguments, but who doesn't. They Laugh, Eat, I mean really eat good, and seem to be really, really HAPPY!!!! I love this show and I can go on and on and on about the show. I can't wait for the new episodes!!!! If Mr. & Mrs. Brown read this I hope they know that they are bringing Laughter, Love, etc. to millions of people around the world with this Reality show!!!!!! Thank You, Bobby and Whitney for allowing us to see who you really are and being able to Laugh, and understand what really matters. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

After watching this reality series about Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daily lives, you can see those people are ghetto to the core, and that's their biggest problem. The public blamed Bobby for Whitney's drug use, downward spiral, and untimely death, but Whitney also lacked upper class qualities and manners, maturity, some common sense, and this TV show only showed this. She was talented and beautiful, but at heart, she is just a ghetto-born black American woman like her husband. During all 9 episodes, Whitney and Bobby behave like spoiled and immature 10-year-old brats. They are so noisy and rude in public places like restaurants, shops, etc. Sometimes other people around them in these public places just look shocked at their weird behaviors. Their home lives are even worse and more chaotic than their public social lives. There is even a scatalogical moment in which Bobby explains how he removed the big turd from Whitney. There are also some farting and defecating moments; it's just beyond disgusting. All series are especially disaster for Whitney's public image, and it is obvious she just agreed to show up in this TV series for Bobby. Despite it's train wreck nature, if you're still intrigued to watch this TV series, you can find it on Youtube.

This series is just.... awful.

Really awful.

It's strangely disturbing to see a couple hopeless has-beens who have destroyed themselves through their own bad choices. Even more disturbing is how Whitney has allowed Bobby Brown to drag her down into the mud with him. She gives a bad name to all her fellow women for doing this in the name of "standing by her man". "Standing by her criminal idiot" is more like it.

There isn't even the interesting drama one would hope from a TV series. Drama needs a protagonist. Someone you can root for. Someone struggling to make their world better. Whitney and Bobby are just circling the toilet bowl whining about how their past success isn't allowing them to have careers anymore.

How this train wreck of human life can become a TV show is beyond me.

How better to describe it than scuzzy criminals on TV? And I don't mean in the show COPS; here, they're actually being presented as protagonists.

I don't see any remedial value in this show unless you have a perverse penchant for human tragedies. Whitney Houston is a tragic example of the fallen star; a star which Bobby Brown helped pull from the sky. Bobby Brown is nothing but a low-life criminal. Why watch him? Why does Whitney stand by him no matter how despicable he is? This couple should be locked up and it's a loathsome shame they are making money and achieving a modicum of fame from watching the septic tank which is their lives and the human waste which is their character.

Mr. and Mrs. Houston manage to do the impossible: they make Mr. and Mrs. Spears look positively deep! Instead of doing something productive - like, say, mow the lawn or help someone less fortunate - they sludge from one hotel to another, blow her fortune, and diss the guy who won't let them borrow his skeedoo (smart man).

While Bobby tries in his own fumbling way (his culinary experiments are a hoot), Whitney is a train-wreck who doesn't pretend to be a civil or gracious human being. She is filmed chowing down, yet goes nuts when a fan wants to take her picture: "Ma'am, can't you see I'm eating?!" Well, at least she said "Ma'am." When she reads about a celebrity in a magazine and "asks" her "Invite me to your wedding" like some Z-list nobody, I had to cringe!

These are two dysfunctional and miserable people trapped in a bad marriage, too stupid to do the humane thing and get a divorce. Giving us a tour of their house, Bobby mentions the awards are "mostly my wife's" then, in a classic Freudian slip says: "I have 5 Grammys..." No, Bobby, you have 1 Grammy, which is 1 more than you deserve!

I felt sorry for their daughter and that poor pooch who looks like two different pieces of rugs sewn together. The one time Whitney pays attention to Bobbi is when they're shopping and she repeatedly asks for a kiss. Bobbi keeps pushing her away as if to say "Mom, you're embarrassing me." Too bad her parents weren't embarrassed to put her through this.
