Why was a reality show created around the Kardashians in the first place? What's so special about them? (except that the girls are good-looking)
Mr. Whatshisname Kardashian was part of OJ's "dream team" of defense lawyers.
Thats how the Kardashian "name brand" first came into my consciousness.
Then there's the fact that Bruce Jenner married into the family.
So there was both a brand name recognition factor and the fact that the clan is part of beverly hills royalty -so to speak- they hobnobbed with the famous even before they were made famous themselves by the show.
