Report: Bravo's 'Being Bobby Brown'
coming back for second season
By Steve Rogers, 10/31/2005
Although Bravo is still keeping quiet about the future of its Being Bobby
Brown series, Bobby Brown has reportedly disclosed that his reality show
will be coming back for a second season.
According to Extra, Brown revealed that both he and wife
Whitney Houston plan to be back for a second Being Bobby Brown season.
Meanwhile, Bravo itself is continuing to remain mum about the show's renewal
status, with a network spokesperson telling Reality TV World on Monday that
"no decisions have been made on a new season of Being Bobby Brown."
If Brown's statement is accurate, it would appear that the two sides have
overcome the financial stumbling block that he had previously cited as the
reason that a second season of Being Bobby Brown had yet to be formally
announced. "I'm just waiting. If they give me enough money, I'll do it,"
Brown had told EURweb during an early October appearance at the Black Movie
Awards. "They say it’s a done deal, but they ain't give[n] me enough money
yet, so I'm [waiting] for it."
Brown also claimed to have no regrets about the show,
which unlike many celebrity reality shows, featured a more traditional
cinema verité style that gave viewers an unvarnished and frequently
unflattering look into Brown and Houston's lives. "I have no regrets in my
life. I'm just thankful that God has blessed me with the opportunity to
work, the opportunity to be standing on my feet, the opportunity to wake up
in the morning," Brown told EURweb. "I'm just grateful."
Being Bobby Brown's first season was a summer hit for Bravo, with its
two-episode June 30 premiere averaging over 1.1 million viewers for the
cable network. Although originally scheduled as an eight-episode series, the
show's strong ratings performance resulted in the network extending its run
for two more episodes. Being Bobby Brown's first season finale aired on
August 25.
