Did You Watch ‘Daddy’s Girls’ Last Night?
I have one word for the new MTV reality series Daddy’s Girls: insufferably boring. Okay, that’s two words.
Daddy’s Girls is just plain bad on every level. From the obviously scripted lines to the pathetic attempt at a I Love New York-style surprise date with an apparent actor named “Schwee” (yeah, right).
The producers had to squeeze this foolishness into a compact 30 minutes, so the scenes moved fairly quickly.
The show follows Rev. Run’s entrepreneur daughters Angela and Vanessa Simmons as they move to Los Angeles full time to open a West coast office for Pastry, their successful shoe and clothing line.
Watching this show made me realize that Vanessa and Angela were not the main ingredient that made MTV’s Run’s House so wildly popular. I realized I missed the genuine, heartfelt interaction between Rev. Run, Justine, Russy and Diggy. Angela and Vanessa came off like a couple of talking wind up plastic dolls.
Obviously the producers realized that. So to help infuse some life into show, the girls enlist the services of their “cousin” Jessica, a hyper lesbun (left) who quickly takes a liking to the girls’ dopey neighbor Alicia (right) who has great taste in Louis Vuitton handbags.
In fact, it’s the obvious sexual tension between the LSLH Alicia and the Chocolate Tai Jessica that kept my interest. If not for them I would have turned the channel.
Honestly, I don’t even think an eventual romp in the sack between those two would make me tune in to Daddy’s Girls again.

WOW… EVEN the pics LOOK Blah Blah, BLAH !!!!! LMAO ;-)
Now this is the Sandra I LOVE … your commentary is on POINT. I am LOL …
Same thing here Sandra. It was dreadful and very scripted. I loved the wholeness and positivity of the rev run and his entire family.
I watched the Snippets durin a Runs House mini marathon …
I knew THEN I wasn’t gonna watch .. I heart Russy & Diggy ..
lol @ another baby lesbun … lol
lol @ u sandra! i didn’t see it, and from this post, i doubt if i’ll be tuning in! lol
Me no likey……….I agree with Sandra, I miss Justine, Rev, Russ, Dig, and JO JO.
I loves me some Diggy and Justine, that being said I admire Angela for trying not to have s*x before marriage thats not an easy task at all. If true that would explain why her and bow wow did not last. I was willing to give the show a shot but was not feeling it. Bring back Runs house.
I have to agree, its pretty boring. They’ll have to do something spectacular to get a second season for this.
I didn’t watch it last night but it should be on the DVR. Hopefully they can work out the bugs before it gets cancelled. I did watch the show that showed the girls favorite clips from Run’s House and uggh Vanessa and acting don’t mix. She was sooo over the top with her facial expressions and the tones in her voice. That alone was super fake and not badly scripted but definately badly acted.
I CALL BULLSHYT ON THE WHOLE SHOW. IT DOESNT INTEREST ME AT ALL, JUST LIKE ATL HOUSEWIVES DIDNT INTEREST ME.
@Page I LOVED the ATL housewives. Can’t wait for season II. I like reality TV though so im biased.
I missed the show so thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to catch the rerun. While Run’s House works because of the family dynamic I have always felt that the only star in that family is Diggy. I’m not surprised the girl’s show was boring. I’m still going to check it out though and see if it is something I can tolerate.
@ daisy….i liked atl housewives also. i like drama-filled reality tv! lol
Yes love Justine and Run’s realtionship! Sandra, messy!!!!LOL.
…I didn’t watch the show, and I’m not sure if I’m going too at this point..
I didn’t even know they had a show…how out of the loop am I?
does anybody know when the atl housewives season starts over?
UGHHHHHH …. THEY DONT HAVE A PERSONALITY AT ALL… THEY ARE MILKING THERE 15 MINS OF FAME TO THE MAX. I DOUBT IF I EVER WATCH THE SHOW…. ALL TV IS SCRIPTED.
I agree!!! Diggy was atleat my star. He has a bright future…and the promos didn’t leave me wanting to watch……so i didn’t lol, and thanks to you sandra….i won’t lol
I think it is awesome for young girls to have “Wholesome” role models to look up to. That’s why I like the show.
Angela said last night that she is waiting for marriage to have sex. I thought that was noble of her to put that out there. They are very transparent and are NOT PUTTING ON FOR THE CAMERA! I like it because I’m into fashion and girly ****!
I knew this show would be boring as soon as I heard they had one. They are boring on Runs house. & I saw something where they actually paid someone to talk about how much they shop…. *blank stare*
Some ppl call them positive role models I call them spoiled rich black girls. If their last name wasn’t Simmons they likely wouldn’t have a shoe/clothing line (didn’t think anything was worst than Derron.)
I would respect them more if they ventured out and made a name of their own. Like Vanessa acting. & I thought Angela was going to College?
@DB I gave her props for that as well. I was like go head Angela but the show was still wack IMO. I will catch it on the weekend im sure though.
@ISC girl what you talking bout but you cant tell B and Mama Tina they arent fashionistas..lol
I didn’t catch this but I would like to see the re-run of it.
Show was so boring I fell asleep. I try to give props to all black shows. I wonder if ratings count if you just record with a DVR and don’t watch?
Liek the music, even TV shows are going bubble gum. FUBAR
oops, like, I meant
I guess I’m the odd ball here…I LOVED THE SHOW.
I guess you have to run around all hoish and morally void to get ratings around these parts. I enjoyed the show and how they were just wholesome young woman living their lives THE WAY THEY WERE RAISED. The neighbor did seem dumb as a phuckin brick and the cousin seemed a little hood. I think they will balance each other out very well.
I WILL BE TUNING IN
@miamore73
I CALLED Vanessa out last year AND people tried to Clown-Me
I JUST laughed it off BECAUSE I was just Telling-the-Truth
And NOW (Low-n-Behold) we have the Fake-AZZ Vanessa and the overall BORING show/presentation of the Run-Gurls LMAO ;-)
Struggle and Somewhat humble-origins help build character and discipline and IMO a true role-model must share-n-identify with THOSE that look-up to them in regards to having a personal-n-intimate Bond-from-Afar… Blind-Adulation doesn’t count as role-model worthiness to me ;-)
I thought about that same thing shunda…and after reading the comments…I think my daughter (13) may enjoy this show more…maybe that’s their target audience. Although my daughter is not as hyped on pastries anymore…
@ ISCREAM: If their last name wasn’t Simmons they likely wouldn’t have a shoe/clothing line (didn’t think anything was worst than Derron.)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Damn when did following in your parents POSITVE footsteps become a problem? I personally dont wear the shoes BUT MY BABYGIRL rocks the sh!t out of some pasteries and she looks too cute in them. hell i dont know the last time i saw NEBODY rocking NE THING REV RUN wears outside of a priest but pastries stay sold out in my daughters size.
Last I checked, they are PAID and Pastries are doing well in the states and abroad – Give them SOME credit. Stop “disliking” (kym/kwall buried hating 1/1/09)
Those girls are doing the damn thing

***********************************
No. In fact you have to watch the recorded show within 24 hours for your viewing to count in the ratings. And that is only if you are in a Nielsen household. Only a small number of households make up the Nielsen ratings. 20,000 to be exact.
20,000 doesn’t seem like they will provide a fair presentation????
I DOUBT very seriously that the Nielsen-Rating was set up to be FAIR LMAO ;-)
@caramelDrop… I LIKE “Dis-liking” I actually LUV IT ;-)
And for the record… I DON’T DISLIKE the Run-Gurls !!!!!
@Bird
Thanks. I always get the Nielson surveys in the mail. Do you know those fools send you $5 cash. I got it in the mail and was like WTH?
@Carameldrop
I don’t want them to act like whores. They can be wholseome with a personality. I am sure my 11yr old will love it when she watches it today. I am going to get her some pastry shoes on Friday at her request.
What do you mean Elove — I thought this was America where everything is fair and just…LMBAO literally.
@Carmel I dont think its about them being good girls and role models. I gave Angela props for not being sexually active at this pt and time in her life. I loved runs house and that was a positive show. Their show was a lil dry and bootleg. The blind date seemed so scripted it wasnt even funny.
well i actually like the show, because they are positive girls! and the cuz will bring some zest to the show!
@ Carmeldrop nothing is wrong with following in your parents footsteps but I saw the episode when they presented that idea. It wasn’t well thought out they just went to their rich uncle and got him to back them.
I guess its like E Love said you have to be able to identify with someone to look up to them. Not many of us can take our idea to our rich fam & all of a sudden our idea blossoms into something. They should’ve had to work for that line a little. Even JoJo did a little (fake) intern for KLS.
I thought the show was okay. But I like to see them altogether like a family. I applaud vanessa and angela for being who they are and just trying to become good business woman. My duaghter has every pastry show that has came out she loves them and it goes with a lot of her clothes. I hope they keep doing there thing!!!
i dont even think Vanessa fine ass can keep me tuned in.
It’s funny to me to see that people say Frankie is entertaining (EX-CRACKHEAD…STILL ACTING LIKE ONE) and Neffe crying, screaming, and laying her belly on the table at the Dr’s office. That is good TV. Honestly, I like the show but it embarrasses the hell out of me.
We can’t knock the media for perpetuating stereotypes if we don’t support images that don’t have us coonin all over the TV. I’ll admit…it wassssssss a little boring. But, I’ll still watch it!
I checked out the previews and honestly, the show look corny. I will not watch this show even if it was the last thing on tv.
i really like these two girls…im happy they’re doing their thing regardless of their background and who they’re related to…i dont feel like scrolling back up, but i hope i didn’t just read someone compare pastry to house of dere-wrong…
Jus and Run’s relationship always made me smile. It was just genuine love. That’s what made me watch Runs House. Diggy and Russy (who was the child star IMO) were and added bonus. JoJo and Diggy whine too much for me but Russy kept me in stitches.
I continue to hear that Angela has a stank attitude and comes off rude (the readers photo poster wasn’t the first time I’ve heard that) while Vanessa is the nicer one. I haven’t given a single thought about watching their show.
@Shauny… I MUST correct you My Lady
Angela IS adjusting to being REALLY Famous (Very Young)
And Vanessa is TRULY-FAKE (Her nice isn’t Genuine to ME) LOL ;-)
Lol @ all this thread ! I thought I was the only one @ the end of the show like “is that it ??” This was BEYOND boring ! I wanted so badly for this show to be so much more, but sadly it failed miserably ! Imma need for Vanessa to get a coke problem and for Angela to end up knocked up by Bow Wow or something ! LMAO !
@DB I will have to agree to disagree with you on that one. I loves me some Frankie and Neffe. I also loved Runs house and cosby show. I like diversity in my programs. My co worker who hates K Coles show (her daughter watches) had to admit just today that she can see some growth in both Frankie and Neffe. Do they have some more growing to do sure but at least they are finally making progress. As much as some dont like them and say they are embarrasing I am sure they have touched and freed somebody by doing that show.
Not a big fan, but I definitely love how they turned their shoes into a multi-million dollar empire.
Society has been hijacked by Reality T.V. it doesn’t matter if the show has a bad plot or idea or not. People want to watch people make a fool out of themselves. And because that equates to human nature we will be tortured with Reality T.V. for years to come. To the point where we will forget how much talent thought out shows produced at one time.
@ELove…
I didn’t say those were my views, I just said I heard/read that about Angela’s attitude. These opinions were from people who have actually came in contact with her. People who have said they were fans of the show until they actually ran into her and tried to get an autograph, picture, or just say hi Angela, love you on the show.
There were people on the radio (Power 92 on Trey’s show) and on a few of the blogs during the last couple of years who’ve said this. They said Vanessa wasn’t acting like that so maybe she know how to play that fake good girl role better than lil sis.
Daisy…Liking that show has nothing to do with fulfilling a stereotype! Nothing…
They aren’t as bad as they once were. However, they continue to thrive in their ghetto fabulousness!
@Shauny… I KNOW I was just messin’ wit you LOL ;-)
Vanessa is off the chain in “real life”….she surely was not waiting for marriage…..but who is….@ least she front for TV…..I like them regardless…would’nt watch the show though
I felt the show was rushed..in one scene alicia had straight hair then all of a sudden it was curly..I am disappointed that they are living in the same apartment where mtv filmed the hills..that made me feel as if the show was scripted for real..it doesn’t matter I will still be watching come next week.
@DB I had to go back and re read my post I didnt say anything about sterotypes.
This show was ridiculously boring and I will NEVER be tuning it again. It was a waste of thirty minutes and the “cousin” Jessica does not cut it for me she seems out of place among Angela and Vanessa and the bond between the three don’t seem to be very strong.
I thought it was strange that she was sleeping on the couch at this point it would have made more sense for her to already have a bed in the house.
This show needs to be canceled.
i like the girls so i will continue to watch. i agree that they are using the names simmons , but at least they had enough good sense to do something more than selling azz or booty tooting in a video .
