HBB is no better/worse than most other shows on tv. Those housewives/sisterwives/etc are of the same genre. These shows are inexpensive to make and probably very lucrative for the producers. So many channels are constant repeats that I became a member of netflix to get some shows I like to watch. I watched the show with the dance moms and changed the channel pretty fast. Glad I have a remote so I can channel surf til I find something to watch.
