Get Ready for "The Real L Word" (New Trailer!)
April 5, 2010 | By: Chris Harnick


What do you get when you take the premise of Showtime's cult-hit "The L Word" and mix it with Magic Elves, the producers of "Top Chef"...?

"The Real L Word", Showtime's new reality series.



Think "Real Housewives" mixed with a little "Sex and the City" and a whole lot of "The L Word". Sound intriguing?

The show, which will follow the lives of six lesbians, has sometimes been referred to as "The Real L Word: Los Angeles". If this show is a hit, Showtime could have its own franchise just like Bravo's "Real Housewives".



After watching the teaser trailer (below) from the Hollywood Reporter, we're ready for the premiere on June 20 at 10PM ET.

Legitimate Lesbians in Los Angeles: A Look at "The Real L Word"
Posted Apr 28th 2010

Just about 40 miles up the road from the real housewives in Orange County are the real lesbians of Los Angeles, and Showtime is presenting a slice of their life in the new reality series "The Real L Word".



The response by the gay community to the portrayals of bisexuals and lesbians in the original series "The L Word" was equally divided between delighted and offended, and from a marketing standpoint -- "The Real L Word" is poised to be just as controversial.




Executive producer Ilene Chaiken, who also created, directed and wrote the "The L Word", is presenting this new reality series with a decisively L.A. feel and appeal, as many of the women featured on the show work in the entertainment industry.

The casting of six very attractive and glamorous women on "The Real L Word" is bound to upset those in the community that do not feel accurately represented, but one could argue that heterosexual women in America are not necessarily well represented in any of the "Housewives" shows either.

Produced by Magic Elves, who bring us "Top Chef" on Bravo, "The Real L Word" debuts on Sunday, June 20 at 10PM ET on Showtime.



Take a peek behind-the-scenes; just be warned that the content is rather racy and not necessarily safe to view at work.
