Sunset Daze NEW SERIES: Premieres April 28 at 10pm|9c
...
The Real Housewives of Orange County will always be a show that I just can’t turn away from. Regardless of how I feel about Vicki, Tamra, Lynne, and Gretchen, it’s the perfect antidote to channel-surfing boredom, simply because you don’t have to pay very close attention to still understand the drama. (On any given episode just accept any of these philosophies: “Tamra’s a bitch,” “Vicki’s a bitch,” “Gretchen’s a gold-digger!” and you’ll be set.) Despite my twisted love for the show, the most recent season felt tired. (The same goes for The Real World, another reality staple.) I tried to get behind new shows like High Society and Fly Girls – an evil I wish upon no one — hoping to find moments of brilliance hidden under a pile of ridiculous and borderline-offensive story lines. But alas, it seemed like there was no Jersey Shore-esque cure for my reality TV blues.
Until now! WE tv’s newest creation Sunset Daze, about the AARP card-carrying crowd in Sun City, Arizona (see the video after the jump) premieres on April 28th. Take the ladies of Orange County, jack their ages up a few (or 20) years, plop them down in a retirement home, and bam! Reality TV gold. Or something like that..
