Does anyone watch the series Army Wives on Lifetime?? My husband is in the Air Force and I can't bring myself to watch the show, maybe it is too "real" for me, ya know? I can relate to things too much...so I was wondering what others thought of the show? And would you suggest I give it a try?

I watched both episodes and thought it was very good. Actually Lifetime has repeated the same 2 episodes over and over again at different times of the day. I'm getting a little tired of them showing the same ones so much but I guess they are doing it to promote the new series.
I would suggest watching it. I don't really know much about the Army so I don't know how real life it all is. But if you feel uncomfortable, you could always change the channel. I think it's worth a try.

Being a former Army wife I can say, it reminded me too much of Fort Irwin, CA. I hated it there. Just like the actresses on the show, the women on the post, were rumor spreading ******. They would look for anything to spread gossip around. I was raised not to spread gossip, so it was hard for me there. I wouldn't play their games, so I was shunned from the support group.
I did make friend's there though, others who were like me, and not people who I am explaining up above. Really good people, who I still keep in touch with to this day.
I watch the show twice and it gave me bad memories, so I turn the channel now if it is on.

I am not in the military and I just love the show. I am not sure how real it is, but it has two episodes and they were very good. I would suggest you give it a try and see what you think.
