July 15 - 21, 2018 WHATS UP! T5 BY ANDREW WARREN TV Media 'Real' life: From the West Coast to the East Coast with stops in between, the "Real Housewives" franchise is defi- nitely one of reality TV's most shining success stories, and the series that started it all is still going strong. "The Real House- wives of Orange Country" pre- miered in 2006 and almost im- mediately became a huge hit as audiences tuned in for a little peek at the lifestyles of a group of wealthy ladies. Orange County's leading la- dies return for a 13th season on Monday, July 16, on Bravo, with three of the housewives no lon- ger around. Lydia McLaughlin, Meghan King Edmonds and Peggy Sulahian all stepped away from the series after the last season and won't be ap- pearing this time around, but Shannon Beador, Vicki Gunval- son, Tamra Judge and Kelly Dodd are all back for more. Those four are joined this season by a pair of newcomers. Gina Kirschenheiter hails from Long Island and, after three years in the OC, is still adjust- ing to the California way of life. With her husband living and working in Los Angeles through the week and only coming home on weekends, she finds herself living what feels like the life of a single mom — and also re-evaluating what she wants from her marriage. Also new this season is Ohio native Emily Simpson, a wom- an who came from nothing and became a successful attorney, party planner and mother. Hers is a real rags-to-riches story — even more so when she reveals the difficulties she went through to have her three chil- dren. Like its many spinoffs, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" is a glamorous — and often not-so-glamorous — peek into the lives of a group of well- off women. The new season, with two new faces, premieres Monday, July 16, on Bravo. Robin remembered: It takes a special kind of person to make the whole world laugh, and Robin Williams was one of the few who could do that. The comedian and actor took his own life in 2014, but his legacy lives on in his countless fans, and HBO is taking an in-depth look at his life and what made him tick. "Robin Williams: Come In- side My Mind" premieres Mon- day, July 16, on the premium channel, and peels back the lay- ers to find out how Williams became one of world's most be- loved personalities. From his youth in the San Francisco Bay area to his time starring in "Mork & Mindy" to his Oscar- winning role in "Good Will Hunting" (1997), the documen- tary tells his story mostly through the comedian's own words. Through interviews, home movies and onstage foot- age from throughout his life, a door is opened into Williams' mind to reveal his creative pro- cess and the things that drove him to the height of success. Other actors and comedians who worked with Williams over the years also provide tributes and insider anecdotes about their departed friend. David Letterman ("My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman"), Billy Crystal ("City Slickers," 1991), Whoopi Goldberg, ("The View"), Steve Martin ("Rox- anne," 1987), Eric Idle ("Monty Python and the Holy Grail," 1975) and Pam Dawber ("Mork & Mindy") all provide insight into the late comedian, as does his son, Zak. Whether it was his hilarious standup, his charming voice work as the Genie in "Aladdin" (1992), his dramatic turn in films such as "One Hour Photo" (2002) or his TV work in "Mork & Mindy," Robin Williams was a multifaceted comedian and actor who was loved around the world. Take an in-depth journey to discover what made him tick in "Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind," on HBO on Monday, July 16. Down but not out: Rose- anne may be out, but "Rose- anne" is still a go at ABC. By now, most people who fell in love all over again with the re- vived sitcom will have heard about its cancellation following controversy surrounding star Roseanne Barr, but there's good news for fans of the Conner family: a spinoff has been or- dered straight to series by ABC. "The Conners" doesn't have a premiere date yet, but early production has begun on the 10-episode series, with all of the main cast slated to return. Sara Gilbert ("The Talk"), who was integral to getting "Rose- anne" brought back two de- cades after its original finale, will once again be joined by John Goodman ("Argo," 2012), Laurie Metcalf ("Lady Bird," 2017), Alicia Goranson ("Boys Don't Cry," 1999) and Michael Fishman ("A.I. Artificial Intelli- gence," 2001) as the iconic Con- ner family. How the new series will deal with Barr's absence remains to be seen, but the news release announcing the spinoff does drop a few clues, explaining that "the Conner family who, after a sudden turn of events, are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before." "Roseanne" remains a much- loved series, but it remains to be seen if the Conner family can find the same kind of suc- cess without its matriarch.
