It's [Bobi Kristins's] aunt Pat Houston who gives the show--and, one hopes, Bobbi Kristina--some backbone. [5 Nov 2012, p.43]

If you want exploitation, The Houstons: On Our Own sinks to a new level when the whole family-including elderly matriarch Cissy Houston-visits Whitney's grave site for the first time. Read full review

Those who worry about the teenager's well-being will find little comfort in this series. Read full review

A few emotional moments--most notably graveside ones--otherwise cool, self-aware and almost completely detached from the only reason this is on the air: Whitney Houston. Read full review

On Our Own could ultimately paint the Houstons as solid, regular folks using their faith and love to cope with life's troubles. After the first night, though, most viewers will likely understand some of the unease. Read full review

This is no time for a reality show, Bobbi Kristina-Houston. It's time to start remembering the good ol' days of the late Whitney Houston. Reality shows like the Real Housewives might just wanna tear each other apart. I know it's really difficult when you lost a friend or a family member. ButThis is no time for a reality show, Bobbi Kristina-Houston. It's time to start remembering the good ol' days of the late Whitney Houston. Reality shows like the Real Housewives might just wanna tear each other apart. I know it's really difficult when you lost a friend or a family member. But being in a reality show just not improving that much. I hope Bobbi Brown is not invited on the show. Thank God, he's still a drunken man. Lifetime needs to cancel the show because let Bobbi Kristina be able to hide away from the media and live her own life. You are a young woman and a fantastic role model, but a reality show is not gonna work out.… Expand
