- The reality show follows the lives of Bruce and Kris Jenner’s combined family, with most of the episodes focusing on the three oldest daughters, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé Kardashian.
- In addition to being famous for breaking the world record and winning a gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics; Bruce Jenner’s sons from a previous marriage, Brandon and Brody, have also appeared on their own reality shows.
- Because the Kardashians’ father, the late attorney Robert Kardashian, was famous for representing O. J. Simpson, his daughters gained recognition as American socialites.
- Kim came into the national spotlight in 2007 after a sex-tape scandal and resulting Playboy appearance, which resulted in the Kardashian family’s fame growing to where they now have a successful reality tv show.
- The show depicts the daily routine of the Kardashians. There are spin- off shows featuring Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé’s attempts to build their line of fashion boutiques.
- The Kardashians’ behavior at first seemed outrageous. They are a loving family.
- The Kardashians squabble like typical siblings, and Kris, the mother, has to frequently hold the family together.
- An estimated 10.5 million viewers witnessed Kim’s wedding, costing $ 10 million, to pro basketball player Kris Humphries in 2011. Unfortunately, the marriage lasted only 72 days.
