Great Show!

I like this show as it's not like other "reality" shows. No one is overly made up, drives expensive sports cars or is dripping with jewelry. Dina, Francesca and Morgan seem to be as real as it gets for this type of show. I love it when Dina doesn't wear make-up or Francesca puts her hair up in a clip and calls it done. Morgan is a typical teenager which we all can relate to with the eye rolling or OMG attitude but in the end you can see there's a lot of love in this family. I like the way Dina handled the Hawaii incident with Tyler. Everyone was hurt but in the end they came together and talked about feelings. Even though Dina didn't seem to approve of Tyler she respects Franny enough to try and make it work. What parent hasn't been through not liking the their daughters boyfriend and being concerned. I also like Dina's brother as he's a very concerned uncle and verbalizes mostly constructive things about situations to his sister and his nieces. Every family has disfunction but seeing how this family works through it is insightful and I believe can have a positive influence on the entire family. The Eastwood family is very relatable. They have not lost who they are with what could have turned into something fake and Hollywood. Dina is someone I can relate to as I'm about her age. I could see going out to lunch with her and talking about things that are real unlike other reality TV show mothers. Love this show......Dina lets do lunch! lol

One Percent Stars

If anyone wants to see a TV show starring the 1% this is it. The oldest girl and her boyfriend burning up a 100,000 purse is beyond comprehension. Crummy role models. Not worth watching.

This title has:

Too much swearing
Too much consumerism

What's the Story?

MRS. EASTWOOD & COMPANY is a reality series starring actress/promoter Dina Eastwood, wife of actor/director Clint Eastwood, their daughter Morgan, and stepdaughter Francesca (from the actor's previous relationship with Frances Fisher). Cameras follow Dina as she runs her household, mentors her kids, and manages the Overtones, a South African vocal group that is trying to break into the American music scene. Adding to the fray is Dina's comical brother Dominic, Francesca's boyfriend Tyler, and Lisa Thrash, the Eastwood's straightforward housekeeper. There's never a dull moment, but throughout it all the gang never forgets how important it is to be a close family.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2):
Kids say (2):

From teenage drama surrounding belly button piercings to dealing with the difficulties of coming out of the closet, Mrs. Eastwood & Company features some mild drama designed to satisfy reality show fans while promoting Dina Eastwood's music venture. It also showcases some of Francesca's efforts to launch herself into the modeling scene.

Despite some arguments and conflicted moments, the overall series is pretty lighthearted, and shows a family that is well-adjusted and loving towards each other. It's entertaining, but when you get right down to it, it's a show that offers a voyeuristic look into the lives of a family whose every day lives wouldn't be particularly interesting if their patriarch wasn't an international movie star.
