What Parents Need to Know
About The Real Housewives of New Jersey
Parents need to know that this installment of the Real Housewives franchise follows the same formula as its predecessors. Material wealth and social status vie with raising children and maintaining relationships, and, true to form, lots of high-end brands (Gucci, BMW, etc.) are prominently featured. Expect lots of catty arguing, strong language (though the worst is bleeped), and drinking, as well as some rather explicit discussions about sex. The series also feeds into existing stereotypes about Italian-American families and women from northern New Jersey.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the popularity of the Real Housewives "brand." What's the appeal of these shows? What kinds of messages do they send about consumerism?
- Do you think people really want to be like the women in these shows? What would be the hardest part of living like them? The easiest?
- Do you think the show is stereotyping elite communities to make the show more entertaining, or are they just showing “real people” as they truly are?
