Fox Reality has just ordered Househusbands of Hollywood, clearly banking on the Real Housewives phenomenon being able to work with us heterogametic types, starting sometime in August 2009. We'd make a lot of fun of these house husbands, but who are we kidding - sitting on your ass at home counting the money your rich, attractive wife brings in is clearly winning in the game of life. See, look at the facial expression on Grant Reynolds, househusband of Jillian Barberie. He knows how good he's got it. But don't think of this as Real Housewives with bulbourethral glands. No, check out this press release, in which Fox Reality's VP of programming and the Househusbands exec producer stress the crucial sociocultural importance of Househusbands of Hollywood.
Sure. If you ask us, Househusbands of Hollywood is just like The Wire, except with Ron from A Different World sitting on his recliner eating Cheetos and watching football on the flat-screen TV Tempestt Bledsoe's money bought.
