"The Princes of Malibu" is a short lived American reality show that aired on the Fox Network, premiering on July 10, 2005.

ynopsis

The series followed two seemingly lazy, adult brothers, Brandon and Brody Jenner, sons of Olympian Bruce Jenner and songwriter and former Miss Tennessee USA Linda Thompson, who are said to be on permanent vacation and live with their mother and stepfather, noted composer David Foster in Malibu, California. In addition, Brandon and Brody Jenner are joined by their friend and sidekick Spencer Pratt. The three of them come up with various antics. Linda, the mother, thinks the brothers can do no wrong, while stepdad David wants the "freeloaders" to get jobs (which, outside of the series, they actually did have) and move out of the palatial 22-acre compound by the sea. The series follows the family's trials and tribulations in a manner reminiscent of "The Osbournes" and "The Simple Life". Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt are featured and eventually became regulars on the MTV reality show the Hills. Brody Jenner will soon be starring in another reality show called Bromance.

Cancellation

The future of the series was thrown into doubt in late July 2005 when Thompson filed for divorce from Foster. [cite web
