    It's [Bobi Kristins's] aunt Pat Houston who gives the show--and, one hopes, Bobbi Kristina--some backbone. [5 Nov 2012, p.43]

    Those who worry about the teenager's well-being will find little comfort in this series.

    A few emotional moments--most notably graveside ones--otherwise cool, self-aware and almost completely detached from the only reason this is on the air: Whitney Houston.

    There's so much tragically wrong with this reality show about Whitney Houston's family.

    This is no time for a reality show, Bobbi Kristina-Houston. It's time to start remembering the good ol' days of the late Whitney Houston. Reality shows like the Real Housewives might just wanna tear each other apart. I know it's really difficult when you lost a friend or a family member. But being in a reality show just not improving that much. I hope Bobbi Brown is not invited on the show. Thank God, he's still a drunken man. Lifetime needs to cancel the show because let Bobbi Kristina be able to hide away from the media and live her own life. You are a young woman and a fantastic role model, but a reality show is not gonna work out.… Expand

    The Houstons : On our own series is not the place for a grieving teen; the constant criticism are not therapeutic. I suggest that the show is canceled and that Bobbie Kristina receive real, the aunt is not the one to deal with this situation.… Expand

    Exploitation of Krissy. This is no way to heal from the death of her mother. The family is going to use this in court to get control of the estate. Pure greed. Shame on the aunt and uncle.… Expand

    The show is intrusive and also uncomfortable and the show does not have any kind of effect the viewers might want. Why the Houstons need to film themselves getting over Whitney's death is beyond me.… Expand
