E!: Denise Richards will be back for a “Complicated” second season


A few months ago, Denise Richards took it upon herself to announce that the E! Network had renewed her family reality show Denise Richards: It’s Complicated. The thing was, E! hadn’t actually made that decision at the time. Well, it appears they must have been leaning that way and Richards just jumped the gun, because it’s now official. E! is giving us another season of Denise Richards, her down-home dad, and her perpetually sad children.

It’s apparently still complicated for Denise Richards.
The E! network said Wednesday that it has ordered a second season of the model-actress’ reality show, “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.”

The first episode, which debuted in May, was originally watched by 1.5 million viewers while the season finale was seen by 976,000 people, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Richards was divorced from Charlie Sheen in 2006; the two were embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their two young daughters, who often appeared in the first season of the reality show.

When I’m having a lazy slow Saturday or Sunday, and an It’s Complicated marathon is on, I’ll admit that I’ll watch it for quite a few episodes in a row. I’m not disappointed it’s back. Richards has to make money somehow to feed her crazy number of dogs, pigs, cats, and kids – not to mention her father. And her father really is the best part of the show, so she better feed him well!

Denise herself isn’t completely uninteresting. It’s at times compelling to watch this woman with no discernable talents try to remain relevant in Hollywood. And she’s honest enough with herself to know that she doesn’t possess the talent to stand on alone and that it takes some work and some definite manipulation to keep her name on the lips of the movers and shakers of L.A. She’s fairly shameless, and shamelessness is the hallmark of entertaining reality shows. I’ll still watch her in reruns on a boring, long Saturday afternoon.

    The dumbening of the country continues unabated. 🙄

  3. Kaiser says:

    I enjoy the show too, Ceilidh. And her dad is the best part, but I like her obscene friends and how Denise has a mouth like a trucker.

    Good times.

  4. bleep says:

    This show was a total guilty pleasure for me. I watched the episodes on demand when there was nothing else on and I can actually say that Denise Richards seems relatable and fun to watch. And her father is great, so cute. good on you E!

    Someone over at E! needs to have their head examined.

  6. Murmur says:

    I usually love bad reality shows. But this one bores me.

  7. Ron says:

    Well who cares who wins the election now, the 7th sign of the apocalypse has just shown itself!

  8. Ashley says:

    I watch it.

  9. Cinderella says:

    I watched it and hated myself for it.

  10. Jess says:

    If she can’t stop the bickering with Charlie for her kids, she should do it for her vanity. She’s starting to look haggard from it.

    I’m convinced that so called “Reality TV” has really dumbed down America. That’s what makes it so successful.

  11. KPC says:

    I thought this show was so boring. She is so pathetic.

  12. pam says:

    Glad it’s back on, i love how down to earth she and her father are, i don’t care that she curses, how many of us don’t, she just gets picked on because she’s a celebrity. I think it’s cool to know the real Denise, she’s not putting on airs that’s for sure. Go Denise!!

  13. blair says:

    Yeah I’m excited. I liked the show. I’ll continue to watch!

    I think she’s sweet. A lot of people take charlie’s side. Yep, she was stupid for marrying him, but ultimately he destroyed the marriage. He looked so unhappy in his [new] wedding photos. I’m glad her show is back on. Her kids are adorable.

  15. Alexa says:

    Ya – I don’t like Charlie to such a degree that it makes me a mega Denise supporter. Plus – she’s so flippin’ cute. If she’s an ass or something . . . well, at least she’s not a total sociopath like her former husband. Why anyone would support him after his atrocious behavior is just beyond me. SICK!
