Househusbands of Hollywood

From the very beginning of the show you can see the differences of the couples that are involved and the reasons why each husband ended up being a stay at home dad. Grant is married to Jillian. Jillian is a host on Good Morning LA so she is up early and out of the house. Grant was in the marine corps but decided to become an actor. Because of the fact that acting jobs are hard to find Grant is mostly at home. He said in the beginning that he fought being a househusband but once he accepted it he was happier than he had been. When it comes to Jillian she also feels guilt but she says that she doesn't feel as guilty because her husband is a great dad. The problem is that her daughter hardly recognizes her when Jillian is home because Ruby is used to her father and not her mother.
When it comes to Tempest and Darryl their lives aren't as affected by children because they don't have any. When it comes to this couple their main problem is the housework. Tempest expects it to get done because Darryl has nothing else to do but Darryl doesn't do it. Darryl is also trying to be in the entertainment business and acting jobs for him are also hard to find.
Lisa and Billy have two preteen daughters. Billy used to be a bsaeball pro but because he got injured he had to retire and now he takes care of their kids. Lisa is a makeup artist and provides for the family. Sometimes she uses Billy as an assistant or a lacky to help with her new makeup line because Lisa knows he wont be doing anything else.
Charlie is an older man with a baby married to a psychologist who remains anonymous. His wife calls everyday to make sure he is doing his chores and not goofing around. Charlie is also trying to pursue acting.
Danny and Katherine don't have kids but their problems are much more out in the open than Darryl's and Tempest's. Danny was in medicine and at the last minute decided to switch to acting. The couple had decided that Danny should spend all his time pursuing his acting career while Katherine provides.
Most of these men are pursuing the acting business but because it is hard for them to get the jobs they have taken a back seat to their significant others. It seems like almost all of them have connections and could have a chance with furthering their acting career but they don't take advantage of that.

Dr. 90210

When it comes to the show Dr. 90210, I must admit I never really watched it unless there was nothing else on because it made me hurl at times. They aren't shy about showing the procedures and blood and guts don't go well with me. This show on the other hand might be interesting to viewers because it is relatable. They don't only show the plastic surgeons at work but they also show them at home. You see them thriving in the office but they might not be doing so well at home. When it comes to the plastic surgery their clients always end up pleased. If they do have clients where the procedure didn't go well or if it got as bad as them getting sued which happens, they never showed that on camera. The aired episodes are where all the clients end up happy with the results in the end. They do show the beginning of the recovery process, so in a way we do see that you don't come out of the surgery looking like barbie and pain free but that is the least amount of minutes that they put into the show.
