“Braxton Family Values” gives us a hefty glimpse into the lives of the Braxton family, and boy, are there some juicy details. From Tamar’s music career aspirations to Traci’s alcohol problem, Toni’s bankruptcy and Towanda’s rocky marriage, these ladies keep us glued.
Like them or not, the ladies of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” live life in the fab lane, and they’re all go-getters, in their own way.

Leave it to Kimora to keep us glued to her Hollywood lifestyle (and fabulous closet). We love how this diva always puts her children and family first.

Go on, admit it, after Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardadhian’s quickie wedding, we were all a little curious as to whether this was the real thing. On “Khloe & Lamar,” the two show that it is.
With its successful family and ambitious children, you can’t blame some people for saying “Runs House” is this generation’s “Cosby Show.” No matter what, the Simmons family always showed Black family life in a positive way.
Can we ever get enough of talking about sex and dating? The ladies of “Let’s Talk About Pep,” always kept the topic hot on their list.
LisaRaye McCoy’s “The Real McCoy” gives us a glimpse into this diva’s hectic life. Each week, Lisa gives a manual on how to do things your way, no exceptions.
Sometimes a show comes along so ridiculous you watch for the sake of pure entertainment. “I Love New York” was one such show. From her questionable outfit choices to her messy wigs, Tiffany (aka New York) screamed hotmess.com.
The squabbles on “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business” reminded us that in the end, family is all you’ve got.
