The People’s Couch

Series Overview

The People’s Couch is a reality TV series premiered on Bravo in 2013. The series features real people watching current, popular TV shows and adding their own commentary. The series enters the households of recurring families and friends sitting in their living rooms as they watch the best shows of the new year. Your favorite couch potatoes are better than ever with their unique, witty, and hysterical commentary.

The People’s Couch reminds me of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Each show is divided into segments based on the TV shows being watched by the cast of couch potatoes. The scenes flip from one group to another as they comment on the same show. Many of the programs they watch are other Bravo TV shows. This is an intelligent move by Bravo, as it helps to cross-promote their shows across multiple audiences.

The show started out as a test run, with only three episodes planned. Once the show caught on, Bravo picked up the series for an entire 12-episode season. Bravo continued to renew the show year after year for four seasons.

Production Company and Executive Producers
