This kind of tablula rasa would require three things. The first was ignoring the unfavorable reviews by respected newspaper journalists from the likes of The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal. It also meant erasing my own stereotypes in regards to reality TV peoples.
And finally, it would mean trusting the good taste of Justin Timberlake. If he’s willing to lend his jingle to Bravo for Shah promotion, I’m willing to give the show a second chance. (Even though it’s more likely that he didn’t lend his jingle but gave it away for cash money. But remember, I’m trying to stay positive and giving the benefit of the doubt).
So for weeks now I’ve watched every “We’re bringing Persians back, yeah!” commercial with hope instead of dread. I’ve thought happy thoughts. Via telepathy I’ve sent my happy thoughts and suggestions to the Shahs, “Be less gaudy and more funny.” Until finally, the show finally premiered this past Sunday, December 2, 2012.
Even starting clean, with biases aside, the show quickly dug itself into a dark hole and teetered on the line of being inappropriate to the point I questioned my own sincerity. Is this show so bad that it’s good? Or is it just really bad? And what kind of human am I to continue watching it? A curious person to say the least.
Cut to 30-year-old GG who has gotten a job for the first time of her life doing marketing/advertising for a hair extension company, a business her and her 9-month pregnant sister Leila started. Naturally GG has no idea what to do, not necessarily in regards to working in advertising but more just working in general, so she stands around the kitchen while her sister yells at her for being incapable. “You should go to McDonalds and learn to flip burgers… just do something!”
Meanwhile a doe-eyed GG stands in the kitchen in appall at what her sister is saying, not about working in McDonald’s but for expecting her to know what to do when she’s never worked a day in her life. ”I wish I could say my sister is hormonal from pregnancy but she’s just a bitch,” GG shares in a private interview.
“She just wants to be better than me.” Leila could also just be wanting to be responsible now that she has to feed a family, but in GG’s world it’s all about GG. So in her eyes, this clearly is not the case. It’s not even a thought.
This show is not a positive look on the Persian Americans in Los Angeles, California. They fled persecution, wars, and death in Iran to settle in Beverly Hills. Many of the cast mates are friends from Beverly Hills High School. Let's fact it, they're not normal in the first place.
While I can only imagine the possible outrage from this show's existence, I find it interesting that Ryan Seacrest is in charge of production.
Usually it's soul-less Andy Cohen but not this time. Hopefully unlike Cohen, Seacrest doesn't have painful reunion shows to watch. Anyway, the three women and three men have a balance. Reza is a Persian American homosexual real estate agent and his office mate and best friend is MJ, a Persian American woman.
Asa is a Persian American woman and an artist who is probably my favorite. She's more concerned about her art rather than the others' opinions. Sammy and Mike are both Persian American and Jewish men in the show. Both men are interested in women not Persian nor Jewish.
While this show is an interesting look into another culture and often a foreign land which is Los Angeles, the show does try to explain Persians who are really Iranians but they don't go by that. Anyway, this show has some moments but I'll watch this train wreck. It's not as bad as the housewives shows.
