“Keeping Up with The Kardashian” Ends After 20-Seasons. How a Sex-Tape Launched an Empire.

“And People Say We Have No Talent.”


“Keeping Up with the Kardashians” has officially ended. After 20-Seasons, 210 Episodes and 14-Years of Filming, the time has come to say goodbye to our reality TV family dynasty that has ruled our screens for the better part of the 2000s. We have been through it all with the Kardashians, face lifts, sex tapes, cheating scandals, Botox and…even more Botox. Honestly, the “krew” looks almost un-recognizable after their 20-Season run on E! News and the ending signals the end of an era. Like them or hate them, the Kardashian Entourage has had a permanent impact on our culture and it's likely not going to stop after the end of their show.


It was a sex tape that started an empire. Back in 2007, no one really believed that the Kardashian family would amount to anything, let alone create a family made of self-made billionaires that all started with the Kim’s infamous leaked sex tape. With the success of their television show, each sister branched out to create more lasting, and better quality from an image perspective, business ventures. The net-worth of the family is roughly estimated at $2 Billion and include prominent brands like KKW Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics, Skims, Poosh, Talented and many others.



As the show has ended, even though there are rumors that they will be re-booted on Hulu, the series on E has come to an end and we must celebrate accordingly.


Top 10 Best-Kardashian Moments


10. "LIAR!"

It's hard to keep track of Tristian Thompson's cheating scandals over the years...all involving Khloe. The iconic "LIAR" quote comes after the second time he is caught. After being sighted with Jordyn Woods (Kylie's Ex-Best Friend) sitting on his lap at a Valentine's Day Party, Khloe gets drunk on margarita's and tells him off over the phone. It was a the slam heard 'round the world.


9. “You’re Doing Amazing Sweetie”

In Season 1 of KUWTK, Kim is approached to model for Playboy. Unaware that Playboy is a nude magazine, Kim believes that she can pose with all of her clothes on. Not the case. After meeting with Hugh Hefner, Kim decides that the shoot will be tasteful and agrees to pose nude. While they are shooting on set, Kris is not far behind taking photos with her digital camera to show Kim later. “You’re doing amazing, sweetie.”



8. “Auntie Kris, it’s me! Todd Kraines”

Scott and Khloe were known as the pranksters on the show and frequently targeted oblivious “mom-ager” Kris Jenner. However, one of Scott and Khloe’s best and most famous pranks includes Scott pretending to be family friend Todd Kraines and prank-calling Kris to harass her. It’s the voice for me.




7. Kim and Kourtney’s Christmas Card Fight

As the seasons progressed, the tension between sister’s escalated as well. As Kourtney wanted to spend more time with her kids, Kim and Khloe had to fill in the extra air time. When Kim arranges the famous Kardashian Holiday Card and Kourtney refuses to accommodate schedules, Kim losses it. Calling Kourtney the “least exciting to look at” was just one of the slams in the 2-minute fight clip.



6. “As her mother, I wanted to kill her. But as her manager…”

In the series premier of KUWTK, Kris Jenner, resident mom-ager, addresses the sex-tape controversy right on the head. As her mother, she wanted to kill her. But as her manager, she had work to do.



5. Kris Jenner Wine Drunk…. anywhere.

It’s hard to be a mom-ager to seven children and even Kris Jenner needs to let off some steam. Lucky for us, she tends to to celebrate her down-time with wine and we are all the better for it. Here are a few of my favorite clips of my queen, Kris Jenner.



4. “ABCDEFG…I have to go.”

After a discussion between Kourtney and Scott regarding the kids, Kourtney leaves the conversation by creating a new phrase that signals the end of a conversation. “ABCDEFG…I have to go.” I even use this in the body of my work email sometimes.




3. “Kim, There’s People Dying”

Flashback to 2011 when Kim enters her whirlwind romance with Kris Humphries (remember him? No, it’s ok). They have just arrived in Bora Bora when they decide to go swimming. Kris grabs Kim and throws her off the dock into the ocean. Kim comes to the surface fine, but freaks out once she realizes that she lost one of her diamond earrings. Distraught and inconsolable, Kim cries to Kris Jenner where Kourtney overhears Kim’s plight and reminds us that there are more important things in life than diamond earrings… “Kim, there’s people dying.”



2. “Don’t Be F***** Rude!”

Kim got a Bentley in Season 2 of KUWTK, much to the dismay of her sisters. After leaving their apartment, she hears Khloe and Kourtney talking about her behind her back. Deciding to tell them off, Kim bursts through the door hitting Khloe with her purse and spewing the ever-iconic line “Don’t be f****** rude!”



1. “Kim, will you stop taking selfies? Your sister is going to jail.”

Khloe’s infamous DUI in XXXX takes the forefront of this episode and gives us one of the most iconic lines in pop culture history. As Kris and Kim drive Khloe to jail, Kim is occupying herself by snapping selfies on a Digital Camera which prompts Kris to deliver the line ““Kim, will you stop taking selfies? Your sister is going to jail.” The scene holds even more quotable lines when Khloe calls Rob, her brother, to tell him that she is going to jail. Rob, having no idea that Khloe might be in prison, doesn’t seem to care which prompts Kris to say “your sister is going to jail have a little compassion!” Great, great stuff. Oh, also Khloe only had to spend 2-Hours in Jail due to over-crowding.



There are many, many other honorable mentions, but the above can pretty much encapsulate the series.


So join me in saying good-bye to our favorite Calabasas Family, but don'r worry. They won't be far away.


And that's the sitch.
