Brad Goreski

Bravo had their big upfront yesterday where they announce all their new shows…anyway, they’ve picked up 11 new series, and renewed five. That’s huge!

Here are the series that are coming back: Top Chef: Just Desserts, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills; Bethenny Ever After, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Tabatha’s Salon Takeover.

And their new shows are as follows (from the Hollywood Reporter):

- Interior Therapy With Jeff Lewis follows Jeff and Jenni as they move into someone else’s home and Jeff does what Jeff does best: redesign their space and judge their flaws. He’ll observe the homeowners, diagnose their problems, and then take over their house for five days – with the goal of improving them inside and out.

- It’s a Brad Brad World (working title) follows stylist Goreski as he embarks on his new business venture and tries to maintain his personal life.

- The Therapists follows the professional and personal lives of our dynamic experts as they counsel a wide array of patients.

- Mad Fashion presents an up-close look at the over-the-top world of celebrity fashion designer March. From concept to delivery, each episode follows March, the Project Runway alum, and his eccentric crew of fashion misfits as they create one-of-a-kind designs for his loyal clientele.

- Million Dollar Listing NY follows some of Manhattan’s most relentless realtors as they close multi-million dollar deals faster than a yellow cab runs a red light.

- Most Eligible: Dallas follows a group of successful friends – from beauty queens to pro-football players – living it up like only Texas socialites can.

- Project Soulmate revolves around New York City matchmaker Lori Zaslow.

- Ready to Wear (working title) follows the staff at New York’s high-end consignment show Second Time Around.

- Roble and Co. follows chef Roblé Ali as he launches his own catering business … in Brooklyn … with his bossy big sister.

- Tabatha Takes Over follows Tabatha Coffey, the tressed-to-kill queen of salon transformations, as she hits the road again – but this time she’s taking over more than just salons. This time, she takes over various small businesses and family enterprises and whips them into shape.

- Miss Advised follows three single relationship experts — all of whom make a living dispensing advice — on and off the job. In each episode, viewers will watch these women juggle their work and personal lives as they maneuver thru the dating world and discover whether or not they practice what they preach.

I love that Jeff Lewis, and Tabatha are taking on new ventures…Bigger business, and therapy! Ha. Could you imagine Jeff Lewis diagnosing your problems? I’d be afraid that he’d critique my hair being out of place. Eek!

And can we talk about Project Soulmate for a second? If Bravo has greenlit Project Soulmate by the same producers that do Millionaire Matchmaker, does that mean that Patti is out, and Lori is in??? I wanna know!!!!

    Not to belittle reality shows, but how lazy can Bravo get? They don’t have ANY scripted shows? I long for the days of Significant Others. That show rocked. They should just change the name of the network to Rich People Complaining.

    Nads..I guess Patti’s unsuccessful run in NYC was her downfall. So Bravo went and got someone who knows what they’re doing. It’s easy to match people in LA..most rich men just want a young blonde, with big boobs and low self esteem. Patti provided that. But in NY, she was at a loss…so many brunettes, so many women with careers, so few nose jobs.., how was she going to find them love? They weren’t trophy wife material so she was disappointed by the ‘lack of selection’ and couldn’t wait to get back to LA and her high-end escort agency.

    Plenty of shows being filmed in NYC. Interesting. I will tune in for Jeff Lewis, but I don’t know about this other stuff. It’s the same shows regurgitated with different casts or locations. Rachel Zoe to Brad, Patti to Lori, LA real estate to NYC, One PR alum to another…..yawn.

    I’m so with you @sarcasatire. I’m in for Jeff Lewis–I absolutely love him. But it seems like everything is a derivative of what they already have on the air. I’m sure they’re scrambling to find their next big “hit” right now since Housewives is their bread and butter.

    AND, I’m so curious to see how their music show does this summer (previously announced).

    Their new slate doesn’t look so amazing…but I guess throw stuff on a wall and see what sticks.

    And @Hypnotoad – remember they announced a few scripted projects a couple of years ago? I doubt they even made it past the script phase. They need a scripted development team in order to make that all happen.

    I’m shocked they don’t have a wedding show on yet.

    Hey Nads, under Mad Fashion, is “March” referring to Chris March? I know he’s fabulous and all, but I don’t think he’s quite reached the level of being able to one-name himself like Madonna, Cher and Usher, LOL!

    J-Mo, yeah!! LOL. I was laughing at Lindsay dropping her last name..and now Chris March, is just March. hahahahhahahahahha. I hope it’s a typo from the press release, but I doubt it is.

    Does this mean “The Fashion Show” if auffed? I hate to lose Iman. If Chris March has pulled that, I’d be surprised and disappointed.

    The other night, I was reminiscing about how Bravo used to be like IFC-lite and A&E actually showed Masterpiece Theater type shows, and TLC used to do scientifically based documentaries.

    What the hell happened? Other than it’s cheaper to produce non-scripted shows?

    They went from a premium channel to basic cable and all the good, foreign and independent movies feature a lot of boobs and vulgarity so they had to “edit them for broadcast TV” and Bravo was SOL.

    Then they hired Satan lazy-eyed minion, Miss Andy, and the rest is history.

    But I’m surprised that after announcing that WoA was renewed and they were casting, that it hasn’t shown up as one of their renewed series. I guess finding talent for that show was harder than they thought.

    God, what a major snooze-fest. I’ll still watch Top Chef and Real Housewives. (But not Bethenney. She’s fucking annoying.) I’ll probably tune in for Jeff Lewis and Chris March, but everything else looks boring as shit. Rich People Complaining indeed. I’m so tired of these follow-(insert profession here)-around-while-they-do-stuff. Either make it a competition so people cry and fight, or get someone like Jeff or Tabatha that are bitchy and crazy. Otherwise, no one cares about Andy’s Blow Myself Hour. And what the hell happened to Kathy Griffin??

    Remember when Bravo used to be all indie? Inside The Actors Studio. Ya know, artsy stuff?? I wish that channel would come back…

    Tabitha is fun to watch but I was getting bored with the salon format. So the variety of businesses might keep it interesting.

    They do still have Inside The Actors Studio. I’ll give them that, but only that.

    Maybe Bravo should consider “The Real Gasmii”. It’s scripted.

    Shit, we got it all, drama, fights, bitching, confession, HILARITY, gossip, headhunters (notwithoutmytv), pod casts, astute viewpoints, crazy pageant mothers.
    We have J-Mo got dammit!
    Flipit could do his talking heads while sipping wine through a straw.

    I can’t stand Patti Stanger!! She claims to be so successful yet who were her actual success on her show? Furthermore, her arrogant, loud, obnoxious behavior was too much to take. She cut other women down for their looks, yet she is overweight, dresses horribly and her hair is not good for her face. Let’s not forget the most important factor in Miss Match – - – she has yet to find herself a husband at 45,46 or 47 years old. Give me a matchmaker that actually has it together and can actually be successful. Patti isn’t it.

    Top Chef needs to lose the just desserts franchise. It’s completely boring, plus they need to spend their time trying to get the original Top Chef to quit sucking.

    And Bethenny? The epitomy of “rich people complaining.” I refuse to take an hour out of my week to watch her piss and moan and am totally surprised her show was renewed.
