This week’s episode of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series should immediately enter into the TV Hall of Fame. I never knew I needed a crossover between High School Musical and The Real Housewives, but now that the world has been graced with its presence, there’s no looking back.
While I am a dedicated fan of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (a campy mockumentary series always delights—plus, this season, they go to an extra-campy summer camp), I would not call myself a devoted Housewives viewer. Clips posted to Twitter amuse me. Our publication, The Daily Beast’s Obsessed, has some of the best Bravo coverage around. But up until this day, I’ve yet to find a reason to throw myself into hours and hours of the franchise’s back catalog.
But watching High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’ most recent episode, “The Real Campers of Shallow Lake,” I found myself evolving into a complete Bravo-head. If these folks are going to be at BravoCon, take my money. I need to know all about the gossip that went into creating the fake Housewives spin-off within the High School Musical universe.
