Can you believe The Real Housewives franchise first hit our screens 18 years ago?
Andy Cohen took to Instagram this week to pay tribute to the show that started it all – The Real Housewives of Orange County.
The series premiered on March 21, 2006, and although it isn’t considered one of the best seasons, we may not have seen the other shows without it.
The original cast included Kimberly Bryant, Jo De La Rosa, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough, and Lauri Peterson.
Of course, Gunvalson remains a mainstay on the show and has been filming for the upcoming Rhoc Season 18.
The other four original stars are distant memories, but the show must continue.
Andy Cohen is thankful for Rhoc
“I didn’t know then how that show- and over a hundred incredible women over ten-plus spinoffs – would change pop culture, and my life,” said Cohen, who serves as an Executive Producer and reunion host across the sprawling franchise.

Slade was once engaged to another Orange County Housewife–Season 1 star, Jo De La Rosa, and he was also briefly linked to another Og, Lauri Peterson.
Gretchen’s past was also called into question as she was engaged to millionaire Jeff Beitzel, who was 24 years older than her and suffering from cancer when she joined the show. Jeff passed away in 2008.
