BRAVO has a lot of making up to do to fans, as its lack of shows on the summer schedule has angered devoted watchers.
It’s been slim pickings for fans regarding TV viewing as the network’s most popular series aren’t airing new episodes.

Influencer and Bravo mega fan, Jeffery Austin (@auzzybaby) made this apparent in a recent TikTok, pointing out the current “drought” of new content on the network.
Jeffery noted that the schedule posted on Bravo’s website showed that no new episodes are dropping most weeknights, despite previously having a stacked lineup.
He shared that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday nights – which typically are packed with new episodes of popular series like Summer House, Vanderpump Rules, and Watch What Happens Live – are now filled with reruns and older content.
The socialite also criticized the shows that are taking up the network’s time slots, including King’s Court and The Mcbee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, which he firmly stated he’s “not watching.”
ONTO THE NEXT
Disgusted over Bravo’s lackluster schedule, Jeffery revealed he’s been “forced” to venture to streamers like Netflix for entertainment and even scripted programs.
The video was shared in a popular Real Housewives forum where a slew of others agreed that the network’s summer lineup isn’t what it used to be.
“Phew, I thought it was just me,” one person commented.
“Miss when they would film housewives all year round,” another remembered.
“Feels soooooo good to not be alone. Going crazy!!!” chimed in a third.
Another complained that Harry Potter movie marathons, which consume much of this weekend’s schedule, have also deterred them from tuning into the network.
Bravo might have done some poor planning when organizing their schedule this year, which fans voiced earlier this week after Andy Cohen announced WWHL was going dark for three weeks.
Andy revealed on the August 17 episode that new episodes of the chat show wouldn’t return until September 8.
Fans immediately lashed out on social media, arguing that production should’ve secured guest hosts or taped episodes in advance to avoid such a prolonged disruption.
However, the weeks-long break from hosting isn’t new for Andy, who regularly takes time off at the end of the summer, putting the show on hiatus.
Andy Cohen’s Career
Andy Cohen has blazed quite the career for himself despite being often mired in controversy.
Andy received a degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University.
He held local internships in TV and radio before landing his first job out of college job as a news clerk at CBS News working for the show, CBS This Morning.
He worked with CBS for a decade and became a producer for both the morning show and 48 Hours.
In 2000, he got a job in program development at Trio, a cable network owned by NBC Universal.

Andy helped develop the Real Housewives franchise, starting with The Real Housewives of Orange County in 2006.
In July of 2009, his boozy late-night talk show, Watch What Happens Live premiered.
Andy has also been a regular guest on Today and Morning Joe, and has co-hosted Live! with Kelly, and The View.
He has his own channel on Sirius XM radio (Radio Andy), and his own book imprint, Andy Cohen Books, with Henry Holt & Co.

Andy and Anderson Cooper have also teamed up for CNN’s annual New Year’s Eve coverage since the 2017-18 special.
The podcast host didn’t give a reason for the break, but he did share photos on Instagram of himself lounging at his house in The Hamptons, where he resides with his two kids: a 6-year-old son, Ben, and a 3-year-old daughter, Lucy.
Andy also posted several pics and videos from the set of the Love Island USA reunion, which he co-hosted with Ariana Madix, and drops on Monday.
