wongie's world has moved to http://wongiesworld.tumblr.com/: RIP: reasons why footballers wives was the best trashy show on the planet

if you've never seen the itv/bbc america series footballers wives, i suggest you take a weekend, get all the 4 seasons (out on dvd with series 5 coming out soon) and do a marathon of what is definitely the trashiest, campiest, funniest, craziest show on the planet. these ladies, backstab, sleep around, murder and have done almost everything with such ferocious zest that you just have to see it to believe it.

unfortunately, itv announced in early may that they will not be bringing back the crew for another season (though they all reunited for a one off special spoof for the uk sport relief charity). as for the series, perhaps the US might be able to save it in some way... i'll keep you posted. until then, here are some highlights of seasons past
