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?

oddly, discipline is the one thing i have no issues with. i dont think adults have the right to tell their kids what to do anyway. i was never disciplined and i turned out a-okay!

Rob I agree there are a lot of weak-ass PS Dads BUT lets be honest 85% of the PS Moms are horrible -> badly dressed, badly coifed, average looking combined with what appears to be extra effort to look asexual. Essentially the opposite of glamorous.
Any accurate portrayal of true PS Moms (especially of the Coop variety) will be a real snoozer.
That being said, as a PS Dad – I may push the occasional stroller, but I’ll also out drink you, likely kick your ass, and certainly be willing to show your wife or GF the benefits of putting on the occassional high heal and/or showing a little thigh.

Dear god. I agreed with something Rob said.
Although my favorite Slope dad archetype is the “I’m too cool for school” Dad. Wouldn’t discipline their kid if their live depended on it.
Roberto – ok gotcha. I’ll be more on the lookout
