I loved Sweet Home Oklahoma and I love the reboot Sweet Home. I laugh constantly. I am so glad that they show that not all us Oklahomans are cultish Conservative trash.

Dumb.

As an Oklahoman I am completely disgusted by this show. They finally decide to do a reality show on our state and they pick these people to represent. It's NOT a funny show at all and they clearly try to be. They aren't funny. At all. They're crude. And as Oklahoma tends to be a more conservative part of the country they are extremely liberal and blantantly bash our President. I've been watching the season to try to get into it and each time I watch I am more disgusted.

What's the Story?

SWEET HOME OKLAHOMA is a reality series featuring a close group of friends who live their lives openly and wildly in the conservative world of Nichols Hills, Oklahoma. It stars attorney Angie "Pumps" Sullivan, who has been best friends with fellow attorney, Josh Welch, since law school. She is also good friends with Josh's ex-wife, Jennifer. Joining the circle of friends is Lee Murphy, who returned to Oklahoma to raise her children after spending over a decade away. As viewers watch them cope with their respective divorces, work together to lose weight, and raise their families, they also get to see brief, humorous "street interviews" with other local residents about various subjects.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (2):
Kids say: Not yet rated

The series celebrates friendship while showing the world that there are progressive residents in the state of Oklahoma. The cast members, all of whom are educated professionals and family-centered single parents, are very likable thanks to their lack of pretentiousness. The exchanges between them often feel genuine, too.

The street interviews often feature some of the more stereotypical characters that the region is often known for. There's also range of silly moments and some strong adult themes throughout. But Sweet Home Oklahoma lacks the over-the-top drama that most Bravo reality shows are known for. Some reality fans may find this too mild for their liking, while others will find it refreshingly fun.
