Hollywood reports:
Bravo is stepping a little outside of its wheelhouse with its latest reality series order. The network announced Wednesday that it has given the green light to Extreme Guide to Parenting (working title).
The unscripted effort from Punched in the Head is intended to offer a candid glimpse into the lives of people using unconventional parenting tactics. The overprotective, fiercely competitive and nondisciplinarian will all be included — as will parents who breastfeed their children past age 4.

Where was this opportunity when my children were younger? We really could have used the filthy lucre to be found in this type of endeavor. I think we could have made a splash…multi-generational household, 1 homebirth, breastfeeding, sling wearing, homeschooling, super religious (by TV’s standards), tofu cookies, Asperger’s syndrome. We could have brought the drama!!!
Of course, we still have a lot of underemployed and student children at home – wonder if they would be interested in something along the lines of “Downton Abbey” meets Roddy Doyle’s “Barrytown Trilogy”?
