I wouldn’t say recent Emmy winner (for Outstanding Reality Series) Kathy Griffin has ever really been on the D-list. I’d say she always hovered somewhere in the B range.

For those of us who don’t have cable television (yes I admit it) or a satellite dish (again I admit it) and want to know what all of the fuss is about, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List Season One is now available on DVD.

What’s disappointing about this two disc set is there are only six episodes of the reality show. It’s probably one of the best shows around and it would have been nice if Bravo! Television had done more with the show.

I’m also confessing that I’m not a fan of reality television, but I do like the behind-the-scenes type of shows. This series does a great job at showing Griffin working for a living. One minute she’s at her (what I wouldn’t do for her house!) home then it’s off to New York, Las Vegas or Chicago for a show. It’s a repeated process but you get the idea of what life’s like in her shoes (and you can almost feel her exhaustion).

There are three main events which we get to witness: her yearly Toys for Tots fundraiser; the red carpet arrivals at The Grammys and the tension just before The Oscars when she can’t find her credentials.

If you’re looking for something other than a bland reality show then I’d recommend getting this DVD. It’s highly addictive and enjoyable and also includes a complete stand-up special on the bonus features.

Whether you love/hate her I think you’ll walk away with a soft spot in your heart for Kathy Griffin after watching Season One of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.
