This show was a mid-season replacement during a year where a writers strike had decimated the rest of the shows.....
This is the new Sex and the City, but better!
First off, this show is great. It is compared to Sex and the City, and yes there is a bit of SATC-ish about it; but its truly a great show on its own. And- is it just me or whenever there is now a new show that has a strong female lead- is there not the inevitable comparison to SATC- either by the Public or the press? Moving on....
First Season
Second- yes there is a short amount of episodes on this DVD- but it is because its a mid-season replacement show- it did not debut with other shows in September. Plus- the year it came out- all the shows had been shut down because of the writer strike. So, yes, its a first season; but people should know and understand that its not the typical first season before they start taking stars off for shortness of season.
Think of this season as the first season of Greys Anatomy- which only had 9 episodes- was a mid-season replacement and STILL sells for 20 bucks on Amazon...
Lipstick Jungle was Cancelled...
This show has sadly been cancelled by NBC, I beleive. The second season ended in February and I dont believe that it is being renewed for a 3rd season. Which is a crying shame- as that it truly is a good show- with a cast that is funny and plays well off one another.
If you have read the book, the plot lines are similar; but the women in the book are older (or at least Victory in the book is- on the tv show, I believe Victory is in her late 20s/early 30s- but in the book, she is in her 40s)
I think you should give the show a try for another smart and funny show. It was one of my favorite shows to watch in its limited time on television
If you like Sex and the City- this is another must have for your collection! Not only have I read the book (loved that too) but I own this season and CAN NOT wait for Season 2 to come out in May. BUY IT!
