[edit] Synopsis
The series followed two seemingly lazy, adult brothers, Brandon and Brody Jenner, sons of Olympian Bruce Jenner and songwriter and former Miss Tennessee USA Linda Thompson, who are said to be on permanent vacation and live with their mother and stepfather, noted composer David Foster in Malibu, California. Mom Linda thinks the brothers can do no wrong, while stepdad David wants the "freeloaders" to get jobs (which, outside of the series, they actually did have) and move out of the palatial 22-acre compound by the sea. The series follows the family's trials and tribulations in a manner reminiscent of The Osbournes and The Simple Life.
[edit] Cancellation
The future of the series was thrown into doubt in late July 2005 when Thompson filed for divorce from Foster.[1] [2] Soon after, Fox cancelled the series after airing only two of the six produced episodes, airing the remaining episodes on Fox Reality.
[edit] Syndication
The series is currently in syndication and screens in Australia on Channel [V] on an inconsistent time slot. The series also appears on the Belgium music channel, JIM TV. The UK channel, Living2, currently airs the show on Saturday afternoons at 12:00 p.m.
The entire series aired in Canada on MuchMoreMusic, and is still occasionally aired by the channel.
