Cashmere Mafia Canned, Lipstick Jungle Survives
Read our lips: We’re not going anywhere.
After a rocky television season for all TV shows, the tally is in, and Cashmere Mafia has been officially cancelled by ABC. Lipstick Jungle has been picked up for a second season by NBC. New episodes will air this fall, assuming there will be no more strikes on the writer’s guild part.
According to Wiki, though Cashmere Mafia did start out with a solid pilot rating of 10.7 million viewers, interest rapidly dropped as the weeks went by, ending poorly with a mere 4.7 million viewers for its season finale. Lipstick Jungle had more consistent ratings throughout the season, with its final episode clocking in 6.9 million viewers.
NBC announced their Fall lineup and Lipstick Jungle will air Wednesday nights at 10pm.
True, there seemed to have been much love for Cashmere Mafia, but I found Lipstick Jungle to have the better script, eventhough I’m really starting to dislike Wendy as a terribly neurotic film producer. I also admit that Lipstick Jungle doesn’t make much of a fashion statement as Cashmere Mafia or Sex and the City, and I get annoyed with Maybelline infomercials between breaks.
Speaking of Sex and the City, the movie comes out May 30th, 2008, and there are already talks of making a sequel. Not just one, but several. Although I’m happy to know that a movie is being made of this great television show, making four or five more films is an overkill. First of all, aside from the fashion, this movie needs to have a good script, why make more films if the script doesn’t hold together? Movie producers need to seriously think about making a franchise, it’s too easy to destroy a good thing.
