Victoria Beckham Reality Series Downgraded to Summer Doldrums TV Special

And a little bit of our faith in humanity has been restored.

According to People magazine:

Victoria Beckham’s reality show, originally planned as a six-part series, will air as a one-hour special in mid-July, NBC has announced.

Victoria Beckham: Coming to America will air Monday, July 16, and coincides with the Beckham family’s move to Beverly Hills.

"Viewers will get a first-hand glimpse into what it’s like to be one of the most sought-after celebrities in the world," NBC’s Craig Plestis said Wednesday.

"Victoria’s every move is documented by the paparazzi, but only our cameras have been allowed inside the world of what being Victoria Beckham is really like."

Looks like NBC execs woke up and took the network off summer-vacation autopilot.

Or maybe the guys in the editing bay placed an anguished call upstairs threatening to strike if they had to cobble together a series of shows even mildly interesting to U.S. audiences.

One would guess that "the world of what being Victoria Beckham is really like" is a world devoid of food, intelligent conversation, or anything even remotely resembling entertainment.

The collective Yank disinterest in Posh, despite her incessant campaigning of late, leaves us proud to be Americans.  Happy Flag Day everybody!
