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?

Oh, god, isnj’t everyone tired of the park slope mommy crap yet? Visit any other wealthy neighborhood across the country, and it’s just the same. Why is it so interesting to everybody?
Here goes the neighborhood, Rob. Next will be strolleristas from Ohio and Texas on walking tours, complete with urban warfare strollers and heavy/spiky bags on the sides. All your efforts to degentrify are now doomed.
Sounds more like Desperate Housewives than Sex in the City.
no i understand about being a gentleman, duh squared. but it seems to me, a casual observer, that most park slope mommies EXPECT the dad to push the strollers. either the dad or the haitian nannies.

OK, *Robert on Fridays*
ummm – Rob
that’s called being a gentleman!
my husband carries the grocery bags up the stairs. It would be another thing if let’s say he carried my purse
hahahah!
Denton, is that a joke?
I read two pages on Gawker and went on a three-hour long rant. Okay, perhaps that says more about me than Ms. Sohn, but what I read was seriously, seriously offensive. Not funny. Not sexy. And also terrible.
denton, I’ve had someone sleep with me and then take all my money!!! 🙁
