To document Victoria Beckham's preparations for her family's move to the US, she signed a deal with [[NBC]] for six episodes of a half-hour unscripted reality TV series. Despite original plans for six episodes, the show was cut to a one-hour special only as there "just wasn't enough (material) for a series."<ref name="savaged">{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1557710/Critics-savage-Victoria-Beckhams-reality-show.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1557710/Critics-savage-Victoria-Beckhams-reality-show.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Victoria Beckham savaged by US critics |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=19 July 2007|access-date=23 December 2007 | location=London | first=Catherine | last=Elsworth}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The show, called ''[[Victoria Beckham: Coming to America]]'', aired on 16 July 2007 in the US and Canada. It was heavily scrutinised by the American media and critics, with the ''[[New York Post]]'' describing it as "an orgy of self-indulgence" and also describing Beckham as "vapid and condescending".<ref name="savaged"/> The programme was the third-most-watched programme in its time-slot and received viewing figures of 4.9&nbsp;million in the US, beaten by a repeat of ''[[Wife Swap (U.S. TV series)|Wife Swap]]'' and two sitcoms.
