Idiot Box Would you watch a BMF wives reality show?

(If you're not familiar with BMF, you should definitely take a look at former CL writer-cum-editor Mara Shalhoup's three part series on the gang. Look! They even interviewed her for an episode of Gangland and she wrote a book.)
Television programs designed to demonstrate that a woman's worth is based almost solely on the man to whom she's attached are very much a thing. As Ozone points out, we've got the Real Housewives franchise, Basketball Wives, Football Wives, Mob Wives, Wife Wives ... anyway, I'm sure the list goes on. But, isn't it reprehensible in the least to create a show that celebrates the notoriety and wealth of women who are only notorious (although, that might be an overstatement) and wealthy because their boyfriends and husbands were criminals who turned our city into a Scrooge McDuck swimming pool-vault filled cocaine instead of money?
NO. Please make this reality show a reality, TV warlocks.
