Bridezillas: Reality TV Show on WE tv

Bridezillas is a reality television show produced by DCD Media-owned September Films and airing on the WE cable-television network. It follows the lives of engaged women, casting their busy schedules in an emphatic and sometimes humorous fashion. It was rated TV-14 from WE television networks for some bad, rude language, a little bit of violence or some suggestive dialogue.
Bridezillas began production in 2001 and first aired on the United Kingdom's ITV, and later began screening on New York City's MetroTV in 2003. The Fox Network aired a one-hour Bridezillas special culled from Season One in January 2004. In the summer of 2004, the show began airing on WE, which has since aired seven seasons and is currently airing the eighth. Since the second season, it has been the highest-rated original program on the WE Network.
In the first season, the majority of the subjects were young, white, wealthy residents of New York. In subsequent seasons, the show has included a more diverse range of subjects, including older, African-American, and working class couples; couples from California, Texas, and Wisconsin; and same-sex couples.
While the first season was in production, the show was tentatively titled "Manhattan Brides". It was only after taping was finished that the name was changed to "Bridezillas" and the footage was edited to emphasize the bad behavior of the subjects. One bride, Julia Swinton-Williamson, sued the producers for misleading her about the nature of the project. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2008.
Bridezillas Season 8 Episode 4 (Kym & Porsha) airs: Sunday, July 3, 2011 at 9:00pm EDT on WE tv. Synopsis of the episode: Kym's limo is late on her wedding day; Porsha forces her bridal party to exercise.
