As reviews go, John Doyle's critique of Real Housewives of Toronto ranks right up there with the  most vicious  reviews I have ever read, of anything: books, movies, plays, TV programs, restaurants, etc.  Doyle is not just saying the program is bad, it is more on the scale of  everyone involved with this production in any way does not deserve to exist and should be shot, immediately.  This piqued my interest, so I watched the rerun of the first episode on Slice last night.

John, relax, take a downer, methinks thou doth protest too much.  It is reality TV, a genre that enjoys world-wide popularity,  Toronto is not immune to the phenomenon . These women aspire to celebutancy, and they will probably get it, whether or not you thumb your nose at them . And they are part of Toronto  John,  every bit as much as you are.
