Bobby Brown reality show Being Bobby Brown draws record debut audience

Being Bobby Brown drew 1.1 million viewers on its US premiere, the highest series debut on Bravo since 2003, despite critics panning the dullness of the show.

That new reality show featuring Bobby and Whitney, 'Being Bobby Brown', pulled in a record breaking 1.1million viewers when it premiered in the states last week, becoming the highest rated series debut on the Bravo network since 2003, and the best Thursday debut in the network's 25 year history. That said, the reviews have been a bit damning, with critics complaining of the dullness of Bobby Brown, the vacuousness of Whitney, and the vulgarity of the pair's lifestyle.

On the warts and all depiction of his family, Brown said "If it's reality, then it has to be reality. And reality has to be real. And that's the one thing we decided when we decided to do this - nothing's going to be scripted like other, reality shows. It's just what is going on at that moment in my life. So some of the show, you might just see me sitting there all day, just in the house. But it's hilarious to show that I do."

So now you know. If it's reality, then it has to be reality. And reality has to be real. No shit, it's true.
