Mob Chicks
Classic rock cable channel VH1 has definitely expanded its programming base. It used to be known among lovers of acts like The Who for its rock documentaries, live music performances on "Unplugged", and "Behind the Music".
VH1 is coming out with yet another new reality show, "Mob Wives", in partnering with The Weinstein Co. and Ben Silverman's new company, Electus. The premise of the show is based around women that have been associated with the mob or have had their lives affected by having "connections".
Even though the show airs April 17th, the show hasn't really had any marketing effect I've seen, whatsoever. That is, unlike the Showtime newbie Shameless, which lived up to its namesake and was plastered on every bus, running ads on the channel ad nauseum. Regardless, maybe it's for the cast's better interest this show is underplayed.
The concept is unique, if not for anything but the voyeuristic possibility of jinxing one of the cast members into saying too much. We all have seen enough reality TV to know what could happen here. There's a weird karmic effect with the mob, not dissimilar to the laws of Facebook; things just happen to crawl out of the woodwork by themselves. Still, I hope this reality show can restrain itself where necessary (re: trash factor on Jersey Shore).
Trailer here.
