 A first time glimpse at the show may be a little confusing. Practically all of the Kardashian sisters look alike so pay attention to their personalities that differentiate between the girls. Featured on the show regularly are Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe, their mother Kris, their stepdad Bruce, their brother Rob and their half sisters Kendall and Kylie. However, mostly Kourtney, Kim and Khloe are the main focus of the show. This show allows viewers to take an inside look at their famous life. On the show it gives you an up close look at the girls during photo shoots, on the red carpet, at hair and makeup and other various appearances.

The show demonstrates the importance of family that at times you will fight, but always be there for one another no matter what.

       

 In this reality series, The Kardashian’s act like most typical families. Kim found a dog on the street in one episode, which she helped find a good home. Bruce has a great relationship with his daughters and can be protective, but it is out of love. From the boys to the makeup, Bruce reacts in an overbearing manner because he fears they will grow up too fast.
