Move over, Real Housewives of New York, because there's a new show in town that's stealing the spotlight - The Real Househusbands of New York. Yes, you heard that right - husbands. It's about time we get to see what the men behind the powerful women of the city are really like.
From the initial announcement of the show, many were skeptical about how it would fare. After all, the Housewives franchise has been a hit for years, with drama, scandal, and plenty of catfights to keep audiences glued to their screens. But the Househusbands have proven to be even more entertaining, and here's why:
You won't find any boring and stuffy businessmen on this show. The cast of Househusbands is made up of quirky and hilarious men, each with a distinctive personality that makes for great TV. From the overly-enthusiastic stay-at-home dad to the metrosexual with a passion for fashion, there's never a dull moment when these guys are around.
One of the best aspects of the Househusbands show is the fact that the wives are heavily involved, too. Viewers get to see a different side to the women who usually steal the show - they're vulnerable, supportive, and downright hilarious at times. We never knew that Ramona Singer's husband Mario was such a prankster, or that Carole Radziwill's boyfriend Adam was a budding chef!
Whether you're a stay-at-home dad like one of the Househusbands or a workaholic like many of the wives, there's something for everyone to relate to on the show. From dealing with relationship woes to juggling parenting duties, the Househusbands show manages to encapsulate the struggles and joys of everyday life, while still being entertaining and engaging.
It wouldn't be a Housewives show without some drama, and the Househusbands deliver in spades. However, the beauty of this spinoff is that the drama is more light-hearted and refreshingly different from the typical catfights and screaming matches we're used to seeing. Instead, the Househusbands tend to bicker about things like whose turn it is to do the laundry, or who has the more difficult job. It's a nice change of pace that still manages to be entertaining.
Let's be real - half the fun of watching Housewives shows is checking out the fashion. And the Househusbands don't disappoint when it comes to style. From the tailored suits to the trendy designer sneakers, these guys know how to dress to impress. It's almost enough to make us forget about the women's fashion - almost.
Finally, one of the most important reasons why the Househusbands show is so great is because it's breaking down gender norms and stereotypes. In a world where women are often expected to be the caretakers and men the breadwinners, it's refreshing to see a show that highlights men who are just as invested in their families as their careers. The Househusbands prove that masculinity isn't defined by traditional roles and rules, but by being true to oneself and supporting those you love.
