I couldn't agree less with the people who gave this show a negative review. Watching it makes me feel like the smartest, most interesting, most brilliant conversationalist on the planet. Any time I need a healthy dose of self-esteem, I just pop in a copy of Gastineau Girls and suddently I feel like a member of Mensa.

Watching this trainwreck for free on television is very different from actually expecting people to pay for it. On television, at first, the main reason to watch was to answer the question, "Are these two for real?" .

But after a few episodes it was pretty clear that, yes, Lisa and Brittney (especially Lisa, the mother) really are as shallow and self-centered and lazy as it seems--with a tremendous sense of self-importance and entitlement. Why do they feel the world should revolve around them? Will people really pay to see them shop, be rude to each other (and those around them), and try to be the center of attention in all circumstances?

When Lisa was recently asked on 20/20 what "The Gastineau Girls" was about, she answered, "Nothing." That sums it up pretty well.

This show is no worse than say The Kardashians or Housewives of Orange County/New York. Yes the Gastineaus are stupid, spoiled airheads, but that's what makes it fun to watch. I say enjoy it for what it is, trashy good fun.

I've read all the negative reviews about this mother-daugther duo, and I have to agree that while they are not rocket scientists or intellectually stimulating, they ARE New York socialites, and for that, they are just fun to watch! The show is not for anyone looking for anything but, it's just sheer escapism from the doldrums of everyday life.

I love looking at the fashion and the excitement of Manhattan, and I have to say I love Lisa (the mom) she looks great for her age(though likely due to a lot of surgery!) and has a special energy that somehow makes her uplifting to me. The daughter Britney is pretty, but she's a little boring to me~~~but that's just my opinion. I'd say buy this if you are into fashion and Manhattan upscale life, or like looking at how the "other half" lives, other than that, don't bother, it ain't no social experiment, it's a socialite experiment!

I'm guessing sales of this DVD weren't so great, or they'd have also released the second season on DVD. That would've been fun too.

This has got to be the most boring, unecessary show that was ever on! The mom needs to act her age and stop getting plastic surgery. The daughter, no personality and a brat! How did they get their money again... an old retired football player form way back when? What is so interesting in that! SAVE YOUR MONEY! This show is NOT GOOD!!!

You will definetly not come out from watching this DVD any smarter, thats for sure, but The Gastineau Girls is definetly a guilty pleasure of America. Being able to see how these filthy rich socialites really live their day to day lives is entertaining, hell that is why the show was re-newed for a second season. If your looking for education television, then you are lost, but if your looking for a good show thats actually enjoyable, your found.

I remember watching this show when it premiered on E! a few yrs ago. I really dont understand why it was cancelled. The show was great very entertaining. Lisa and Brittny are real not acting like other "reality shows" out there. Like those kardashians for example I saw season one and stopped after that because the show looked 100% staged and fake. Please bring back the Gastineau Girls I miss the show and it was so much fun to watch!

Gastineau Girls - The Complete First Season I agree with all the negative press about Lisa and Britney Gastineau, but i absolutely adore the mom who's dumb as dirt, but one of the sexiest women alive! Just watching her turns me on more than flipping thru the pages of a Victoria's Secret catalogue.

I gave this to my daughter as a Christmas gift. It was so fun to watch our favorite episodes together and repeat the memorable dialogue!

I really like this DVD, but I keep getting confused. Which one is the daughter? They both look so young and beautiful. Or, wait a minute! Are they actually 18-year-old twins? I'm confused!
