Sex and the City on a Network?

When NBC released next season's prime time lineup, we were quite intrigued by several things. First, the superb Friday Night Lights was not only renewed despite low ratings but it is finally going to be where it is best suited – on Friday nights, duh! Second, there will be a series based on The Bionic Woman. We don't know if it is updated or going to feature cheesy 70s clothes (let's hope! There is a 70s bellbottoms void where That 70s Show used to be), but either way we are going to at least give it a try.

Most of the rest of the announcements were yawn-worthy until they uttered the name Candace Bushnell. Quoi? For those of you not in the know, Bushnell is the author behind Sex and the City, upon which the fabulous HBO series was made.



HBO was the perfect place for the steamy, uncompromising ladies and scripting that often came with the show. Now, Bushnell's novel The Lipstick Jungle is being adapted for a TV series – on NBC. We just don't know how to feel about this. Will Ms. Bushnell's words be watered down for prime time, even though it will take the later 10PM slot on Sundays.




But, no matter if the series has to be a bit self-censored, we just hope the characters are as colorful (and stylish!) as our favorite NYC quintet. Jungle will follow the exploits of three social-climbing, alpha-male 'business executives' who love men and make no apologies for their sexual aggression. Could be fun, let's just hope NBC doesn't mess it up. But we will give it a try. Hell, we gave a show about high school football a chance and got hooked! Stranger things have been known to happen.
