"Watching this trainwreck for free on television is very different from actually expecting people to pay for it. On television, at first, the main reason to watch was to answer the question, "Are these two for real?" .
But after a few episodes it was pretty clear that, yes, Lisa and Brittney (especially Lisa, the mother) really are as shallow and self-centered and lazy as it seems--with a tremendous sense of self-importance and entitlement. Why do they feel the world should revolve around them? Will people really pay to see them shop, be rude to each other (and those around them), and try to be the center of attention in all circumstances?
When Lisa was recently asked on 20/20 what "The Gastineau Girls" was about, she answered, "Nothing." That sums it up pretty well."
Are you kidding me!? This show is so much cheaper than thera

"I couldn't agree less with the people who gave this show a negative review. Watching it makes me feel like the smartest, most interesting, most brilliant conversationalist on the planet. Any time I need a healthy dose of self-esteem, I just pop in a copy of Gastineau Girls and suddently I feel like a member of Mensa."
Gastineau Good

"This show is no worse than say The Kardashians or Housewives of Orange County/New York. Yes the Gastineaus are stupid, spoiled airheads, but that's what makes it fun to watch. I say enjoy it for what it is, trashy good fun."
A Socialite Experiment

"I've read all the negative reviews about this mother-daugther duo, and I have to agree that while they are not rocket scientists or intellectually stimulating, they ARE New York socialites, and for that, they are just fun to watch! The show is not for anyone looking for anything but, it's just sheer escapism from the doldrums of everyday life.
I love looking at the fashion and the excitement of Manhattan, and I have to say I love Lisa (the mom) she looks great for her age(though likely due to a lot of surgery!) and has a special energy that somehow makes her uplifting to me. The daughter Britney is pretty, but she's a little boring to me~~~but that's just my opinion. I'd say buy this if you are into fashion and Manhattan upscale life, or like looking at how the "other half" lives, other than that, don't bother, it ain't no social experiment, it's a socialite experiment!
I'm guessing sales of this DVD weren't so great, or they'd have also released the second season on DVD. That would've been fun too."
Boring and Useless!

"This has got to be the most boring, unecessary show that was ever on! The mom needs to act her age and stop getting plastic surgery. The daughter, no personality and a brat! How did they get their money again... an old retired football player form way back when? What is so interesting in that! SAVE YOUR MONEY! This show is NOT GOOD!!!"
