There's no denying that television has entered into the clone wars. Reality TV came, then everybody starting biting off one another. Then specific genres of reality got really hot (the quest genre i.e. "Survivor") and all the stations starting clamoring for that. But nowhere is this phenomenon more pronounced than the recent spate of shows about housewives. Well, we've got "Dirty" housewives (I think that's X rated though), housewives of "Atlanta", "Desperate Housewives (the first one and coincidentally not a reality TV show), housewives of "Orange County" and so on. Call it the age of the MILF. Hot, bored women who - in some cases - are collecting huge checks as beneficiary/baby mamas meet up with other bored trophy kittens to drink wine and talk smack. If "Housewives of Atlanta" is any indication of the genre's staying power, then it's pure comedy. They do get serious, but most times (as in the picture above of the "Housewives of New York City," it's mind-numbing entertainment. But the MILFs? Who can deny that?
