The very notion that there was any salvation in a basically awful show which the critics slaughtered (did it get one good review from one prominent critic?) and which scored ratings I didn’t think possible for a Big 3 net to get is simply astounding. The show is over. Please move on. NBC already has. And please stop sending them lipsticks. They have no use for that. They’re all a bunch of insecure men, after all.

Why do you think the boxes are antiquated for Lipstick Jungle, but not for Dancing With the Stars, Two and a Half Men, Grey’s Anatomy, House, The Office, etc.?

So Riff, kindly realize that while your 100 IQ might make you feel superior to others, but it doesn’t impress me.

What does NBC have to loose? They can introduce some cheaply produced reality shows hoping that one sticks as a success.

I also think that Rosie Live will replace SVU reruns on Wednesday assuming it is a hit this Wednesday. I’ll bet money that its a success in NBC’s eyes.

Wait, there are uncrazy fans of this show? They must not have internet access.

Sometimes I scroll through the NBC forums for “Lipstick Jungle,” you know, when I’m the mood to drop my IQ 100 or so points. When last I left off, there was an outbreak of viewers — ones who were once pleading with NBC not to cancel it — now begging them to cancel it because they found out the writers are going to break up Kim Raver and… I don’t know, whoever her character screws on the show. The last time I checked them before that, I saw several posts from people begging everyone to please turn on all the TVs in their house and make sure they’re tuned to “Lipstick Jungle” every Friday night, so NBC won’t cancel it (after NBC had already cancelled it). Did it matter whether the people turning on all the TVs have Nielsen boxes or diaries or not? No, of course. They didn’t even know what Nielsen boxes and diaries are.

As for the pipe dreams that NBC would reverse the cancellation, that stemmed from a stupid post-production assistant and a stupid writer who have both been in the business for about 5 seconds and should have known better. I’d like to think the fact that Ben Silverman even admitted to them that he was originally going to pull it after 9 episodes this season and not air the last 4 should have clued them in, but I guess you don’t need a brain to work in Hollywood anymore.

And as for the show, it was a one-hour infomercial for Maybelline and Massengill. 20 episodes was 21 too many.

Indeed L&O: SVU will beat Life, but they can’t have reruns of that series the whole spring. NBC really doesn’t seem to have too many dramas that will be ready by February. I hear they are high on Kings, but I believe they are looking to place it on Sundays–it wouldn’t work with their “Crime Time” Wednesdays anyway.

I’m not sure when The Philanthropist will be ready. Development is where NBC is really hurting now.

Wish I could feel excited about “Friday Night Lights.” But I’m so very tired of angsty teen romance. If the show was more Eric Taylor and less musical beds for the high school set (yes, I’m talking to you, Lyla), maybe I could get into it again.
