Yep, I'm watching Cashmere Mafia again tonight even though I didn't like it too much the first time. Hopefully it will get good because otherwise I don't know if it will last since lipstick jungle is going to start soon and it is also getting a lot of hype and they are freakishly similar.

I wasn't too into the pilot, but I didn't think it was bad.  Just not that clever.  But I'll continue to watch it when I happen to see it on, if only because there almost isn't anything else scripted on tv anymore. 

I did like how it portrayed the women in business.  They're so successful and unapologetic about it, which I really like.  I hope that at least one of them (zoe, perhaps) gets to have a relationship with a partner who is supportive of her success, so it doesn't turn into another show about how heterosexual women can't have a happy marriage and a successful career because men can't support women in their careers.  the only storyline more tired is every lesbian spending every waking moment dealing with pregnancy and custody battles.

t's not just a terrible idea to put in the heads of young women (choose between love and a successful career!) it's also insulting to men.  Don't we all know straight men who are happy with being with a woman who is successful, even perhaps more successful than he is?

That looks photoshoped and that looks disgusting. 

... which comes in #2 for the evening in its non-regular timeslot is called disappointing simply because it didn't retain the entire audience from the show preceeding it (a very last scripted episode of DP, thus making it a season finale) and that it lost some viewers at the halfway point - which is very normal.

but having 10.7 million viewers watch is nothing to sneeze at, especially when most shows this last season were only pulling in roughly an average of 6-8 milion.

then if we add in the new DVR ratings system, one could argue that Cashmere Mafia is a bonified hit.

perhaps our expectations have become too high when requiring immediate success. this could be the reason that most shows nowadays aren't given the time to find their voice and an audience like they use to - Seinfield, Gilmore Girls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Office, etc.

if no one supports the potential of a show - until it has proven itself to be futile - then you can expect that you'll always lose those shows, right when you see that they have something to offer that you want.

Did you just ewww Kari Byron? Bad people! Baaaad people! =D But I must admit, that photo wasn't very flattering. But it earned her an invite to Letterman (yeah, eww.)

And.. Am I the only one who absolutely loved the first episode of Cashmere Mafia? Just bad that my viewing isn't noticed. And isn't it possible that all you gay girls in the US watched TLW and will be tuning in when CM airs tonight?

She looks so much better on the show. She is one of those examples of not needing to sex it up to actually look hot.

I agree coming in #2 isn't bad. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more Cailtin and Alicia but I will continue to watch the show anbd give it my support/ I live near Nielsen maybe i will drive over there and tell them to boost those numbers.

I loved cashmere mafia! I think it completey trumps the season 5 premier of the l word.

It's a great show that can explore the lives of successful women, who despite being successful and fabulous are still confined into societal norms or expectations (e.g. Jack leaving Mia cos she has become more successful that him). It questions a lot women's roles in society and this would be the first show to explore that. I'd love to see how their lives will turn out in the future. I give it an A+.

OH MY GOD... can't believe it! I've falling in love with this show. It's great!! All I can say is... when I grow up I want to be just like that!

1st episode:

Juliet - "Look around. Look at all our friends. (...) I'm going to take one of them for my lover (...)" <- just to level the score with her husband who has had an affair (another one by the way).

2nd episode:

 Zoe - "I understand you hinting on my husband. He's a good looking man (...)" <- after catching one of her childrens' friends home mom's flirting with her husband (which he confirmed after her confrontation).

This is just why I love women. They can always take it home and execute the most destructive/effective come back ever!

GOD, I LOVE THIS SHOW! (did I mention that?)

Can't wait for Mia and Caitlin to get in the spot too ;)
