You can watch episodes here: http://www.centrictv.com/videos/keeping-up-with-the-joneses/1036448/There are a lot of shots of Houston and from the episodes I seen the city looks big!But at the same time you don't see many people walking around.Its definitely worth looking at! Also check out her Houston based magazine that just went national: http://jonesmag.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totheskies Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It's really good!! Tracy and her family are great to watch, and she takes you around to different hot spots of the city. The magazine is also pretty good, though not something that is of interest to me in reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 There are a lot of shots of Houston and from the episodes I seen the city looks big!But at the same time you don't see many people walking around.A lot of times when I watch NBC's Today Show or see other shots of NYC, there are not always tons of people walking around, and sometimes there's not any.

LTAWACS Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 A lot of times when I watch NBC's Today Show or see other shots of NYC, there are not always tons of people walking around, and sometimes there's not any.In the few instances when I watch TV and in the few instances when they show a shot if NYC I always see just trash trucks driving around aimlessly.

citykid09 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Where is this magazine sold? I can't say I've ever noticed it before.I believe they started around 2005? and it was available in a few strategic retail locations around Houston. I think they stopped production for a while and then recently relaunched and then just went national this moth to coincide with the TV show.

AK123 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Looks refreshing in a cable world full of you-know-what like Real Housewives of ___, Jersey Shore and other such rubbish.Bravo or Style or one of those types should pick it up. I'd watch and I'm not even AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Episode 5 is proof that Houston can't attract and retain talent. The kids want to move to LA (talent agents telling them Houston is not where its at, LA is) and the mom isn't sure she wants to be in Houston. The magazine will now be based in New York and she has her new business partner pulling her there. Should have known, whenever Houston gets something its taken away. So I guess season 2 will be filmed in NYC and LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citykid09 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 no big deal. If you want to be in media, go to LA. If you want to be in publishing, go to NYC.So Houston should just sit back and let other cities drain its talent? I don't think so. Other cites have caught on and have built their own media/publishing industries. I won't mention any names because I might get scolded for mentioning certain cities that have succeeded in these areas without sending talent to NYC and LA. Houston has come close in the retaining its music industry, but even they eventually leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citykid09 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Atlanta?Explain! Why would you mention Atlanta? What makes you think they are able to attract and retain talent and not send it away to LA and NYC? And if they can why not Houston? H-Town has the talent and it will surely attract talent from other cities if it had the facilities (e.g. Astrodome studios would be a great start).

AtticaFlinch Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Explain! Why would you mention Atlanta? Haven't you heard? Atlanta is heaven on earth. The streets are paved with gold (those that aren't rail anyhow), and the rivers flow with Coca-Cola and honey. Every person in Atlanta is super-rich ($100 mil and above only, please), and all the orphans have been adopted by Ted Turner and Tyler Perry. Also, God vacations in Atlanta.

Obviously, Houston's not fit for that role. We're just not ready for it, so there's no sense in trying to force us into it prematurely, if at all.
