Well, it's the moment that many, many many of you have been waiting for: As the appeal of the Kardashians begins to wane, industry insiders are gearing up to call time of death on their E! reality show.
Radar Online reports that in the wake of the Lamar Odom crack scandal—in which he is addicted to crack and is pathologically lying to his wife, Khloe, about all manner of things—branding expert Rob Frankel believes that "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" is nearing its end.
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney “really don’t have anything going for them at this point,” he says.
Jennifer Pozner, the author of Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth About Guilty Pleasure TV, adds, “People are starting to say, ‘I think we’re over it.’”
So there you have it. Ye of little interest in the Kardashians, you may finally be getting your wish. It might really be over.
Editor's Note: We initially reported this was on Bravo, not E!.
