A show with people living in an over 55 community would be great. I would love to be a writer telling some of my stories having lived in a couple of them for over 10 years.

This is addressed to the producers of Shahs of Sunset
I am writing regarding the last episode of Shahs of Sunset, which I found very disturbing. In a world where there is great animosity between Iranian Moslems and Jews, where the Iranian government spews its venomous falsehood against the Jews, where this animosity has trickled down — surprisingly — to the Iranian community of Los Angeles, where young people who have been born here have been stung by these biases, you should have been a bit careful in what you did broadcast. This episode was full of misunderstandings and prejudices. You had a great chance to show these in a way to eliminate them, but you preferred to add fuel to fire.
Mike’s fears in Akka, some justified was never explained and it led to misunderstanding that it was a bias against Moslems. At the same time, Mike’s decision to not go to a mosque in Turkey was unfounded. I am a Jew who grew up in Iran and cannot go back because of the Islamic regime of Iran, yet whenever I hear the Moslem call to prayer I am taken back to the city and country I love and to wonderful memories. The group’s going from person to person and asking them what their religion was was offensive at best. At no time did these people greeted the individuals with respect before letting them know why they wanted to film them. In the present atmosphere of Israel, they were lucky they were not attacked.
I have spent my academic life researching and writing about Jews of Iran and would have loved to have a chance to sit down with this group to let them know why they were wrong. That the wall is not just a wall the separates, just as Mecca is not just a room that does the same. This I would like to do, not to gain fame and be on tv (fame I have and I don’t care about being on tv), but to bring a much needed understanding to two groups that have been enemies for reasons that no longer exist.
What you do in coming days is up to you. This program is watched in Iran. You can be a bridge or a wall. The ball is in your court.

Dear Andy,
I am a single mom who suffers from mental illness. What disturbs me many of your “actresses” on your housewife shows, use the terms CRAZY, CRAZY BITCH, LUNATIC, Psycho, terms that are discriminatory towards the mentally ill community and we like your community are under a protected class and also such words fall in the line of a hate crime. How would you like it if we referred to the LBGTQ community with such hateful words such as “Fag*t, or Dy*ke etc.? That’s right that’s considered a Hate Crime, so what is the difference attacking our protected class? It seems to me we are being discriminated on and no one cares? Well, I do care and I see first hand how it hurts the younger populations who suffer from mental illness, which further promOtes STIGMA…
So, my question is when are such ignorant and hateful words, labels going to be STOPPED in your show? Secondly, why is it you only film the 1% ers verses of people like my self that really show what it’s like to struggle mental illness, the discrimination we encounter on a daily basis, and to be insulted by your “actresses” on your shows?
Thank you and I look forward to your response and hopefully we can stop such hateful and discriminatory words being from existence and move on to a more positive and healthier platform.
Sincerely,
Catherine Hayes

WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT, EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH MY ATTORNEY, WITH AN IDEA FOR A SHOW EMANATING FROM LAS VEGAS? MY IDEA CENTERS AROUND PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 80, SEVERAL OVER THE AGE OF 90, WHO ARE STILL VERY ACTIVE AND INTERESTING PEOPLE. THIS IDEA COULD BE EXPANDED TO ANY CITY, BUT SINCE I NOW LIVE IN VEGAS AND KNOW OF SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE EXCELLENT CANDIDATES FOR A SHOW, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SHOW START IN VEGAS. THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY UPLIFTING, OUTGOING AND DYNAMIC INDIVIDUALS AND WOULD APPEAL TO PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, ESPECIALLY OLDER PEOPLE. THEY SHOW EVERYONE THAT AGE TRULY DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT MINDSET AND JUST KEEP GOING. I KNOW THESE PEOPLE FROM BINGO, BUT I CAN FIND OTHER VERY ACTIVE, OLDER PEOPLE WITH MY MANY CONTACTS HERE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
RHOBH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS, BUT I FEEL MY IDEA COULD ALSO BE A WINNER. I AM YOUNG AT 73 AND LOOKING TO START A NEW CAREER. RETIREMENT IS A SLOW DEATH. IT IS LIKE “WAITING TO DIE.” ONE NEEDS TO KEEP MOVING AND HAVING A REASON TO GET UP IN THE MORNING.
