SiLenTxfAiRy I absolutely love this show and the DVD box sets. I didn't know much about playboy, and through watching the show and getting to know the girls you come to realize Hef does so much for them. The girls are fun loving and crazy, they definitely keep Hef on his toes!I love the relationship you learn about between Holly Madison and Hef. I think it really shows viewers and critics that it is possible for someone to love someone who is much older or younger then them, and not be with them just for the money.I also think it was inspiring that Hef really wants the girls to succeed, and by doing so helps them with schooling and furthering their education. The girls are very lucky to Hef in their life, and they do not take him for granite at all! It's clear to any viewer that Hef cares deeply for the girls and they are not just another bunch of girlfriends.

Liss Rivers When I first heard of this show I was rather skeptical. An old man with three girlfriends in a TV show featuring their lives? Please. But now I saw the show and I was and am hooked! I can't wait for season three to start, and I watch it whenever I get the chance. It's entertaining, there's not many 'deep' aspects but it's still exciting and I love it. Here you really see Hef really does care to an extent for these girls, and you see that they aren't just idiotic bimbos- one has a masters! This show is really good and I hope it keeps going as long as possible because I look forward to every episode. It isn't event that graphic or bad or risqué. I love love love it.

caa821 I have seen this program advertised, but had never watched even a second of it until today. I hit the "E" channel's number by mistake, intending to tune into the Navy-Army pre-game program. They had just begun a program celebrating Hefner's 80th birthday, apparently ready to participate in the traditional, annual, "Hef's birthday," viewing of "Casablanca." He was reading some notes about the movie - the man is an unexpectedly dull, and rather inarticulate speaker. Everyone was grinning like apes, and his young girlfriends were in dresses so damn tight, they looked like Martin Short's morbidly-obese "Jiminy Glick" trying to seat themselves.I watched a few minutes, fascinated as his charges in the other room scurried to convert a large area into a precise replica of "Rick's," the Bogart bistro in the flick - for champagne and caviar afterward.The show is amusing, but I suspect (at least for me) in some ways other than intended. Hefner reminds me of Phil Donahue and the late Howard Cossell. He has morphed into a persona which looks like an exaggeration of the satirical imitations of him done by impersonators, stand-up comics, and talk-show hosts. Hugh, like Phil and Howard, is a classic self-parody. And there's something fascinatingly grotesque in viewing this octogenarian old fart creep around in pajamas and smoking jacket, amidst these vacuous nymphets, who seem incapable of wearing any apparel which isn't overly-tight, overly-skimpy, or both. Nothing actually wrong with this per se, except these bimbos are as void of taste as they are intelligence.I've seen his old films/tapes of the long-ago Playboy t.v. program. There he was a 30- or 40-something man, pretentious, and a rather smarmy/unctuous presence. The guy today is a pretentious, smarmy, unctuous 80-year-old.I'd love to see a show devoted to a tour of Hef's private bathroom, and have him display his undoubtedly major supply of herbs, vitamins, and ED pills, creams. etc.When the girlfriends eventually "deliver," Hef can be an honorary Great Great Grandfather to the kids. He's just the right age.

jupiter303 I almost never watch E!. Can't stand the silly hype usually. But where I am living currently (abroad) there aren't too many options.This show however is great. Actually one of the better reality shows I have seen, compared to "The Osbourns" for example and the rest, half of which I can't even remember.The three ladies on the show are simply fun and the series just kind of sucks you in. Not so much for the T&A, just the fun of it all. Hef is admirable for his age, straight talking and easy going, a role model and inspiration for many. Not in the "traditional sense" perhaps, but still in a good way. With his 80 years of experience it's no wonder he could pick some charming ladies to be around and on the show as he has.I was always curious what his life was like and this show satisfies.Don't take it too seriously, just sit back and have some fun and relax with it. Quite a simple concept really, but in this day and age not east to find on TV.
