Kardashian Shows: E! Planning Up To Four More Series

Though there is a growing group of angered pop culture consumers joining a boycott against the family, E! has no plans to stop keeping up with the Kardashians. In fact, the cable network is looking to ramp up their offerings featuring the world's premiere reality family.

Bonnie Hammer, the new cable entertainment chair of NBCUniversal, spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about her vision for E!, promising more highbrow coverage from the network. That, however, doesn't preclude new Kardashian series; while current iterations of the franchise may go by the wayside, she told THR that she's hoping for "two, three, even four new Kardashian [spinoffs]."

So far, there have been four series featuring the first family of scripted reality: the flagship, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians"; travel series "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" and "Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami"; and Khloé Kardashian and husband Lamar Odom's show, "Khloé & Lamar."

There have also been various specials based on the family, including the now-maligned "Kim's Fairytale Wedding," which featured the wedding of Kim and now estranged husband, Kris Humphries. The marriage ended after 72 days, leading to charges that it was a manufactured relationship. Hammer rejects those allegations.

"This was not a stunt. In no way did people believe that this was going to happen," she said. "I think true Kardashian fans know that a bigger than life mistake can be made easily in their world. Everything they do is bigger than life … it's just part of their DNA."

As for potential future series, a new series featuring Kim's newly single life -- she's married in this season of "Take New York" -- is probable, as is a series about Rob Kardashian, one of the family's younger brothers who just starred in the most recent season of "Dancing With The Stars." In addition, a series about Kourtney Kardashian, who just announced that she is pregnant with her second child, is very conceivable.

Another show, featuring the younger sisters Kylie and Kendall, could also be made.

More lazy programming of non-talented non-reality people who will do anything to re-up their fifteen minutes. http://boycottkim.com/

I deleted all Kardashians. There are too many other reality families out there. They had their time and now it is over. Please E! stop the nonsense and move on. We all have.

Is the one on the left a Kardashian? If so I did not know that one of the sisters was a power lifter.

The people who watch these shows are the most to blame for the idiocracy in the United States.

Part 1:

Dear Kardashian­'s,

What exactly do you do? No one knows, I really have no idea, what it is you do. Oh yes, someone told you to get exposure, so in your brilliant mind you thought exposure meant getting naked on tape. Yes! That’s what you do, you expose yourself to the world in order to garner fame.

Oh yes! That’s what you do, you expose young people to your salient version of hyper-cons­umerism. Let all the children consume away, follow Kim, The Pied Piper of Hollywood! You really should have a sign over your head that says ‘consume me’ ‘consume my image’ ‘consume my disgusting reality.

Really, tell me what do you do Kim? Do you sing, no. Do you act, hardly! Do you make anything, nope. You just falsify the reality of the people with your so called reality shows. You just inject products and consumptio­n into the minds of the people. Your life is just one long commercial­, that keeps dragging on and on.

You are a traitor to your humanity because you sell nothing but false dreams and false expectatio­ns. Your whole life is an infomercia­l, that ends with what exactly? With nothing, nothing but more sick consumptio­n. Nothing but the same old façade of buy-and-se­ll the self until there is nothing left of the self.

Part 2:

Do tell me Kim, what exactly do you do? You say your hardworkin­g, you say you’re on your game, what game is this? As far as I can see, all you do is merchandis­e your soul, parcel it out, and send it to the masses, piece by piece.

What exactly do you do Kim?

I’ll tell you what you do, you poison the minds of young people with your ‘reality’ shows, you poison the souls of the masses with your absurd obsession with stuff and things and purses and shoes and shows and nonsense.
