It seems like it’s been months now since we first started hearing rumors of a Khloe Kardashian/ Lamar Odom reality show, though it was hard to tell whether the gossip sprung from actual discussions with E! or just logical assumptions. In fact, many casual viewers probably already assumed the couple had their own show, but really, they’re more supporting characters on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Think of it like Happy Days, at least when it comes to Lamar. He’s Chachi. He might have shown up quite a bit on the original, but Happy Days was still Richie’s show. Then he got Joanie Loves Chachi--that was his show. Now it’s Lamar’s turn.
According to US Weekly, the new reality show is a go. As of now it’s still untitled, but you’ve gotta admit, Khloe Loves Lamar has a certain ring to it. Whatever it’s called, it’ll start shooting in March which probably means it’ll be prepped and ready for a run during the summer or sooner. If they’re going to address the ups and downs of Lamar’s play with the Lakers, it’ll need a quick turn around, but if they’re going to ignore his job and make it all new shower curtain conversations, time is less of a factor.
Let me be the first to say I support this new show more than I’ve ever supported anything Kardashian related. Lamar is a laid back, affable guy, and Khloe is far and away more watchable than the other sisters. Short of Bruce Jenner getting his own spin-off, this is probably the best we’ll ever do.
