Ten Scary/Awesome Things About 'The Real Housewives of New York City'

1. Tacky housewives.
2. Loud housewives.
3. There was a "cosmetic procedure" three minutes into the show.
4. Ramona = Amy Poehler's character in Mean Girls.
5. There were no books whatsoever in these fabulous Upper East Side apartments except in the kids' rooms. Culture!
6. My tennis pro is hotter than your tennis pro.
7. Bethenny obviously hates the Upper East Side types and is doing the show to advance her career. Let's hope she has better luck than she did on "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart"
8. Three year old Francois's absolute refusal to speak French to appease his parents. We have a little Nate Archibald in the house!
9. LuAnn's family named a puppy Aston. As in Aston Martin.
10. LuAnn's housekeeper! She's like every character Wanda Sykes has ever played in a movie except, you know, real.
This show was even more amazing and terrifying than I thought it would be. I was riveted...because these women came off like total trainwrecks. These ladies have not one shred of humor about their lives or, well, anything. Did you guys watch? Were you as fascinated (and also totally repulsed) as I was?
