Anyone else seen Eastwood's wife's reality show on TV?

[Honeycombe8]

Yes, his wifey poo has a reality show of her own. Complete with raising the (grown) kids, cleaning out house for giving to charity, handling issues with her kids' friends...and even a one-time showing up of Eastwood, briefly (who, she said, flatly refused to appear on her reality show, except that one time, or somthing like that).

It's called Eastwood something, natch. Don't know the channel.

When I ran across it, I wondered....why? She's not famous. So...why would she have a reality show? And why would anyone watch it, other than once for curiosity sake? (I think she has a successful business, though. I forget what it is.)

1. Which wife? The current one? And just to be clear the grown kids have 5 different mothers.

Clint is part of the hyper holy religious Sanctity of marriage Party, string of wives and kids all over the place so that makes it hard to know exactly who this woman in the reality show actually is.

2. Dina Ruiz Eastwood

Was a local (Calif.) news anchor, I think. The daughters are hers (w/Clint) and his from a previous girlfriend. Mr. Family Values has 7 kids with 5 different women.
Sounds like she and the kids want to be famous "on their own."

4. That's her. The blonde daughter I think has a different mother...I've seen her

before (the daughter). I don't know if she's an actress or what. She looks like Clint.

Yeah, I guess the wife wants some of her own money, just for security. Those reality shows pay a lot, I hear.

I just happened upon it and watched it once. It was odd because these were not, like, famous people. So I didn't see the point. Not like, say, the Osbournes. I then was flipping channels and saw part of another one...I watched just that bit because it was when Clint meets them at a restaurant. He seemed grumpy and disheveled.

Then there are young men (sons) running around...I think those are this wife's kids. Not sure.

6. That's the only ep I saw too! Eastwood looked like the grandpa from The Simpsons

7. As I recall, he didn't seem to have much connection w/his kids.

The age difference, maybe? He's way too old to have young sons. He's more like a grandpa or great grandpa.

3. Watched the entire first season and really liked it...

...because even though she lives and works here where I do (Carmel) the whole family is just as capable as acting like white trash reality stars as anyone else!!! I loved the part when Dina almost blew a gasket when one of Clint's daughters was carrying around a purse that cost over $100,000 (that her photographer boyfriend was planning to have her destroy with a chainsaw later) and Dina was VERY offended. Her rant about that purse being more than her father ever made in his entire life was so left wing - really made me think she did have compassion and empathy for others not as fortunate as she is - but her marriage to Clint doesn't make any sense in that context.

She must be afraid to leave the house right now....

5. That was the show I saw. I took the purse thing as schtick, a put-on...

that's the way it seemed to me: fake. I thought she went on about it because she IS rich, to show the little people in the audience that she hasn't forgotten about the value of things.

But it's like the Kardashian show in that the scenarios aren't real. They're scripted, and so are the reactions by the reality people (who aren't really actors, so it's pretty obvious they're faking their responses). The boyfriend wasn't REALLY going to destroy the expensve purse; that was the script written for the show. As was her response.

But of course I totally agreed that an expensive purse shouldn't be destroyed like that. Or ANY new purse. I'd give it to charity before I'd let anyone destroy it.
