The first rule of television seems to be: if something works once, do it again. Sarah Jessica Parker’s production company has reportedly optioned the novel Prospect Park West to turn into a TV show. The book, by former sex columnist Amy Sohn, who also wrote the companion book for HBO’s Sex and the City, chronicles the lives, urges, and dissatisfactions of four Park Slope mothers. Here’s how The Post summed it up this morning: “The book creates a scathing portrait of Park Slope’s mommy brigade — of which Sohn is a breast-feeding member — as a parade of unsatisfied thirty- and forty-something moms sizing up their plights relative to all the other stroller-pushers at the playground. Few are having sex — at least not with their spouses.” It’s definitely the Sex and the City formula, but who knows if it will take off? Gawker asks the more important question: will it ruin Park Slope? There is already a festoon of strollers; will Berkeley Place now be clogged with red double-decker buses?

Benson – point taken. Even thought the same myself after tossing off that post. Would take a crack at the neighborhood fiction workshop now but alas too much work today. Denim/Meta was too funny! Back to grindstone…
DIBs, I say go on. You can work in an adoption or foster child to make it parenting relevant.
Ordering in is my preferred method, CGar. i haven’t picked up a guy in a bar in many years.
“I don’t really understand “unsatisfied.” This is NYC, just go out and get it.”
Actually, DIBS, this being NYC, just about anything – or anyone ; ) – can be ordered in!
I would do one based in bed Stuy but I’d never hear the end of it from the What….
At the checkers & chess tables at the far end of Fulton Park:
“Damn, here come that white asshat gentrifier again.”
“Aw, let it be. He just goin to Peaches or that Sarguvina place.”
“you know I seen lots of guys going in and out of his place.”
“Yeah, all sorts…black, asian, latino.”
No, I better not go any further with this one.
i know one day im totally going to run into a Meta or Denim im going to crack the f up.
