‘Mrs. Eastwood & Company’ vs. ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’
The Kardashians are back with Season 7 of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” but reality TV’s royal brood is about to meet a new family that just moved into the E! neighborhood: the Eastwoods. Clint Eastwood’s wife Dina and his two daughters Francesca and Morgan are getting into the reality TV game with their own show “Mrs. Eastwood & Company” that follows their crazy lives. See how the two shows match up below.

Premise:
|
It’s complicated. Sometimes this new reality show (which premieres Sunday) is about Clint Eastwood’s wife, Dina, and their two daughters: Morgan and Francesca. Other times, it’s about a South African music group called Overtone, which Dina manages.
|
The reality show, which launches its seventh season Sunday, originally centered on a somewhat famous family: Bruce Jenner was an Olympic gold medalist and step-daughter Kim Kardashian was riding tabloid fame via a sex tape. (In addition, the late Kardashian patriarch, Robert Kardashian, had been a defense lawyer in the O.J. Simpson trial.) Now it focuses on a super rich and super famous family boosted by reality TV.
