The reality show follows the lives of Bruce and Kris Jenner’s combined family, but most of the episodes focus on the three daughters, Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian.
Bruce Jenner was famous for breaking the world record and winning a gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics, and his sons from a previous marriage, Brandon, and Brody, have also appeared on their own reality shows.
The Kardashians’ father, the later attorney Robert Ka Kardashians, was famous for representing O. J. Simpson, but his daughters gained recognition as American socialites.
Kim came into the national spotlight in 2007 after a sex-tape scandal and resulting Playboy appearance, then the Kardashian fame grew into a profitable reality series.
The show depicts the daily routine of the Kardashians; spin-off shows feature Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe’s attempts to build their line of fashion boutiques.
