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.

San Francisco, Aug 23 (Ians) Non-profit organisation Black Girls Code has sued its founder Kimberly Bryant, accusing her of “unlawful hijacking” of its websites.
Bryant was sacked as a board member and CEO earlier this month after an intense period of allegations and legal and corporate battle, reports TechCrunch.
The complaint, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California alleged that Bryant “took a series of inappropriate actions following her termination, including the unlawful hijacking of the Bgc website and redirecting site visitors to her own website, which makes several false and misleading statements.”
Black Girls Code alleged that its domains — including blackgirlscode.com, blackgirlscode.org, blackgirlscode.site and blackgirlscode.net — all now redirect to another website named saveblackgirlscode.com.
“That website offers a memo with the details of Bryant’s aforementioned federal lawsuit, including her lawyer’s contact information,” the complaint said.

Not everybody has the staying power of Vicki Gunvalson. No, Bravo's Real Housewives franchise has featured its fair share of "one and done" stars from pretty much every season. Sometimes they return in a guest capacity and other times they just fade away, becoming a small part of Housewives history. So, how well do you remember these "one and done" ladies? There's a video for that now. In the video below, Bravo looks back at the vast Real Housewives history—this franchise has been around since the beginning of time—2006.
