Keeping Up with the Kardashians (often abbreviated KUWTK) is an American reality television series that airs on the E! cable network. The show focuses on the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian–Jenner blended family. Its premise originated with Ryan Seacrest, who also serves as an executive producer. The series debuted on October 14, 2007 and has subsequently become one of the longest-running reality television series in the country; the thirteenth season of the show premiered on March 12, 2017.

The series focuses mainly on sisters Kim, Kourtney, Khloe Kardashian, and their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner. It also features their parents Kris and Caitlyn Jenner (previously known as Bruce Jenner), and brother Rob Kardashain. The significant others of the Kardashian sisters have also appeared on the show, including Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick and Khloé's ex-husband Lamar Odom. Caitlyn's son Brody made cameo appearances in the early seasons before joining the show to appear regularly, along with his brother Brandon, and Brandon's wife, Leah. Kim's friend Jonathan Cheban and Khloé's friend Malika Haqq have also been part of the show.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians has received very poor critical reviews since its premiere. It is often criticized for the high degree of emphasis on the "famous for being famous" concept, and for appearing to fabricate some aspects of its storylines. Several critics also noted the show's lack of intelligence, and described the family as "self-absorbed" and "desperate" for fame. However, some critics recognized the reality series as a "guilty pleasure" and acknowledged the family's success. Despite the negative reviews, Keeping Up with the Kardashians has attracted high viewership ratings, becoming one of the network's most successful shows and winning several audience awards.

The series' success has led additionally to the creation of numerous spin-off series, including: Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Khloe & Lamar, Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptoms, Dash Dolls, and, most recently, Rob and Chyna. The network has also broadcast several television specials featuring special events involving members of the family.

My view


I personally think that Keeping Up with the Kardashains is an entertaining show. People who like drama and full on entertainment should definitely watch this show. The series mainly focuses on sisters Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Over the years, millions of things has changed in their lives. From the intro of their series to the people they are involved with, everything has changed in a vast manner. These type of changes tend to make the show more interesting. I used to watch this show when I was back home and I have continued to watch this show after I got here as well. The best part about this show for me is that the entire cast is funny and witty in their own ways. My personal favorite character of the show are Khloe and Scott. I think both of then are slightly more funny and entertaining than the rest of the clan. Overall, I am very much fond of this show and I hope it continues to entertain us further.
