Bobby's not such a bad boy on show

It was only a matter of time before Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston starred in their own reality series. Well, Being Bobby Brown (10 p.m., Bravo), is actually Bobby's show, but Whitney is around for much of it.

Here are five reasons why we love the black Ricky and Lucy on what could become reality TV's Next Big Thing.

1. Bobby's nursery rhyme come-on lines: After being on lockdown in the joint for 33 days, bad boy Bobby is obviously, well, attention starved, so Ms. Diva Thang asks her King of R&B hubby if he's ready for a night of some good lovin'. Rest assured, Barry White is cringing from the great beyond at Bobby's comeback.

2. Whitney's take-no-guff 'tude: Camera, schameras. Makes no difference to Whitney as she barks at adoring fans, threatens to beat her husband and shrieks, "Aw, hell no!" whenever she's cranky. Which is, like, a lot-especially when she's hungry. And tired. And, OK, you get the point.

3. Bobby's daddy advice: Every overprotective father can relate when Bobby tells his oldest daughter, La Princia, what to do if a boy gets fresh with her- "If someone even tries to kiss you, you better smack 'em!" What Bobby forgot to add was, "Just like your momma does to me from time to time!"

4. Bobby's ever-expanding waistline: When did Bobby's gut get as big as Bill Cosby's? Is prison food that good? What? Just asking.

5. The love, baby: Sure Bobby and Whitney are one of showbiz's kookiest couples, but, despite the rehab stints, the drugs, the fights, the court dates, the tabloid headlines, they're still together. And Ms. Diva Thang has no problem rubbing lotion all over her man's ashy feet during a his-and-her massage session. Now that's love!
