Kathy’s Heartbreaking Episode
From Kathy’s Blog: “Here’s the thing. My Dad was just a very special man. And when people come up to me and give their condolences so generously, they often say, “I know it’s weird, because I feel like I knew your Dad even though I just saw him on TV.” And I say, “then you did know him,” because the wonderful thing about the Bravo show is that they really captured my Dad exactly the way he was — funny and smart and sarcastic and sweet and gentle and naughty and nice all in one.

Last night’s episode of D-List was really touching, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only viewer crying. I think Bravo handled his death much more gracefully than Doug’s, but in both cases, I’m glad that Bravo has created such a community with their reality shows that viewers really and truly care about the people playing the parts of themselves on these shows. From Reality on Bravo to the Griffin Family, all our love and best wishes…although I think you have to be more like G-List or M-List to read my blog!
