The Kardashians: Explaining their Onscreen & Offscreen Appeal
The Kardashians have made it a point to create a name for themselves and transformed themselves into a brand. Thankfully, E! execs are there to study the celebrity families famous for being, well, famous.
"Hours of Kardashian-centered programming -- especially Kim Kardashian's start of a notoriously short marriage -- fueled ratings for the network that [Suzanne] Kolb took over the network in July after serving as president of marketing, news and online for both E! and Style," reported The Wrap recently, accompanied with an interview with Kolb.
Kolb is the president of E! since July, overseeing the growth and success of the brand. NBC Universal includes programming, development, production, marketing, digital media, business development, research and communications in her domain.
"At their core, the Kardashians are an incredibly bonded, loving, large family who live an incredibly large life. And if you actually look at the history of television, there's a pretty large number of families with that blend resonating with viewers. This just happens to be the first reality show that does it," she told The Wrap.
"In many ways when you look at the year ... there's obviously been a lot of major events in the Kardashian family's lives. It's just an incredibly fascinating drama that's played out. But at its core, you know that they're going to end up around that dinner table together. ... I think there's something emotionally aspirational around that family dynamic and visually aspirational about the way that family lives." Kolb continued.
The Kardashians are the main stars of ther own reality show, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," on E!. it tells the story of the Kardashian and Jenner family and how they cope with everyday living and managing their various enterprises.
So far, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" have created spinoff shows that star the three sisters, who are the main stars. However, despite the different spinoffs, the show is showing no signs of slowing down.
