CASHMERE CEMETERY

NBC's Lipstick Jungle they KEEP but Men In Trees and Cashmere Mafia they cancel?...
Lipstick Jungle was so bad that I couldn't even get through one episode that kept my attention, therefore I stopped watching after trying a few more then kept changing the channel. Cashmere Mafia premiered first, so I thought with Jungle they had TWO whoppers for women that year [since Sex & the City's Beshnell wrote Jungle, but it's her bomb, and no knock out clothes and decor at all, which also made Cashmere Mafia beautiful to watch, real eye candy along with the stories].....


Cashmere Mafia was another Dynasty but without the boring 'men' as the focus....



It's not JUST the network that's stupid, which everyone's saying.... the 'numbers' weren't there, and that is more indicative of the mentality of America. But the Network should have hung in there. Most of our classic TV shows took years to catch on, but they stuck with them till they did, and the list is endless from the past....



I hadn't even heard that Men In Trees was cancelled because they've always done so much juggling with it, and delays of episodes to premiere new one's, so I came here to finally get the scoop, and now I see. I'm devastated, just as with Cashmere Mafia.....



I'm a born and bred Manhattan-ite and "Cashmere" reflected my lifestyle and that of strong, sophisticated business women..... so that hit me even harder. Lipstick Jungle is a poor imitation with very BAD writing and no imagination..... unlike Cashmere has in a more adult style. Now it looks like CBS's [Hmmm, always forget the title, but it's about swingers in the 70's] and done well, with care and in-depth, and it's writing is full rounded characterization of the characters and situations].......



Someone mentioned that they write for 'kids' now, and it's true. Everything that's worth our time...... disappears. There are more shows that I could site in this travesty, but the list is too long. But although Boston Legal is of a different genre, this is their last season as well. My absolute favorite along with the others listed above. That long writer's strike obviously hurt the momentum and I think contributed to the casualties, just as I was afraid would happen.....



I have typed and filed all the ending monologues by Marin each week from my tape, and am glad I was diligent about keeping them, also emailing to a friend after each show. She reveled in them as I did, since she couldn't always watch. What's coming next that will be crucified. It makes one not even want to get too attached anymore to even a TV show. I certainly don't, but most of them are trash anyway.... lying in the cemetary of talent.
