Reality TV show ‘Russian Dolls’ stirs controversy
NEW YORK — A mother is lecturing her 23-year-old daughter about her love life, flailing a kitchen knife above her head for emphasis.

Mom’s point: She’d like her immigrant daughter, from the former Soviet republic of Moldova, to marry a man with similar roots, keeping the family’s East European Jewish tradition.

Alas, the daughter informs mom that she’s already dating a Hispanic man.

But she soon dumps him, on-camera, during a restaurant date.

The scene is captured in a new TV reality show called “Russian Dolls,” which premiered on the Lifetime cable network in August and airs Thursdays at 11:30 p.m. EST.

1. of course...does anyone ever tune in to reality shows that don't push the envelope?
and with a title like "Russian Dolls", I'm sure there will be plenty of heavily accented, DD-cup eye candy to draw some male viewers as well...
