First, I digress from the review of this program in that I have such continued admiration for Lisa Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd. I became acquainted with them (as a viewer) when they were regular cast members of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for multiple seasons (since its inception) and I truly missed their presence once they decided to leave the show and move onto other ventures. The show did lose some luster after their departure.
But - back to their ventures! On the show, they fought for and had legislation enacted regarding the cruel and grossly inhumane Yulin dog festival in China. I will never forget Ken's tear-filled face after he saw a video on the BHOBH of what took place in that disgusting festival. There is NO way I could have had the wherewithal to watch it.
Additionally, Lisa and Ken have numerous restaurants that they have developed over the years and in which they take an active role. Although I never watched "Vanderpump Rules," I followed Lisa (and Ken) on other shows like Vanderpump Dogs and another show where Lisa was the judge of a dog-grooming program. (I'm sorry but I forgot the name."
Back to this program, what a pleasant surprise it was. Lisa does a wonderful job working with her employees and though they are not in MY age group, I found them mostly adorable, especially Andre and Steven. It was nice to see Ken at some of the dinners at the Chateau. The show is still active and a few episodes remaining, but I hope there are more shows like this in the future with Lisa and Ken!
Finally, the fact that Ken and Lisa have been an enduring couple and wonderful supportive parents all these years, what a breath of fresh air in this day and age of divorce and acrimony. Keep up the fantastic work, Ken and Lisa. I wish I could meet you and I loved sweet Giggy all those fun RHOBH years - God bless him. Donut is adorable!!!! Take care and carry on, you adorable couple!
