The Princes of Malibu follows the story of David, a harried music producer, who is frustrated with his stepsons Brandon and Brody constantly living off his money. Their birth father is Olympic decathlete Bruce Jenner.
David's wife Linda often acts like a third child by enabling their behavior, making it even more difficult for David to get the "princes" to do their fair share. Their friend Spencer is also often involved in their antics.
Despite David's efforts, the boys usually manage to avoid trouble with their humor. The show, which airs on Fox, shares similarities with The Simple Life but is not produced by the same company.
