Cashmere Mafia

What do you get when you turn all four members of Sex and the City into Miranda? ABC's new offering to Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. (Tonight was a sneak preview.)

It remains to be seen if I will continue watching, but here were snippets that resonated for me tonight.

Juliet (after finding out her husband is cheating on her): Look at what a man gives up to be with one of us. We make more money. We rise higher. We take up more space. We are as far from the idea of a wife he grew up with as it's possible to be and still wear his ring and go by his last name.

[Aside: I don't even go by Mr. Monkey's last name. Eek.]

Jack (while breaking off his engagement to Mia when she gets a promotion over him): The truth is I'm gonna want someone to come home to. I'm gonna want kids. We're just moving in opposite directions.

Mia: No, I want those things, too.

Jack: Not as much as you want to win.

And, finally, this gem.

Zoe: That whole having it all thing, I think it's a crock.

I'm crossing my fingers that this show remains semi-watchable. I hope these so-called powerful women don't degenerate into stupid whiny things.

  7. I can't believe they did the "slow walk"! Remember when they all walk into the benefit and Juliet is wearing that red dress? I was hoping that we left the slow walk in teenybopper movies.

  11. The lack of new episodes of my favorite shows has forced me to watch other shows (even *gasp* reality tv).

    I DVR'ed this but haven't sat down to watch it. I'm hopeful that it'll be entertaining because I love a sassy Lucy Lui...

  12. I must TiVo this. I want to like it because I like Lucy Liu but maybe it's not in the cards.
