I really enjoy Buppies. I wish nothing but success for the series. It’s fun to watch, and I hope that, in the future, it can evolve into a longer-timed series or soap.

Best wishes!

I’m going to have to check out this buppies show. at first I heard it was just a reality show but if it’s something scripted I’m a little more interested in watching it.
