SPOOF/FARCE. Socialite Snippy Whipshaw snags her own reality-TV series, “The Real Housewives of Loony County,” which causes sparks to fly as the housewives of Loony County unleash a flurry of shenanigans, feuds, and dirty dealings. As the season unfolds, there are mysteries, grudges, amnesia, confessions, plots, soirees, “big” announcements, accusations, love triangles, name smearing, backstabbing, and even swordplay. In the nail-biting finale, we finally find out whose ancestor was a real witch, who stole the town’s mascot, who will be the next mayor of Loonyton, and whether or not “The Real Housewives of Loony County” will be renewed for a second season. There are nonstop laughs in this over-the-top spoof of the popular reality-TV series “The Real Housewives.”
