Salacious Slope May be Ready for Prime-Time

Remember that silly article a few weeks ago about how the “Sex and the City” gang might live in Brooklyn if the show was being filmed today? Turns out it wasn’t so far-fetched, according to a piece in the Post that says Darren Star, SATC’s creator, is shopping around a show about well-off gal-pals who live in Park Slope. The article is beyond delicious, per highlights such as these:
The Slope is an ideal setting because it’s got “energy”: “It takes place in Park Slope and Park Slope is one of the characters in it. Park Slope has so much juice, just like Manhattan. It’s got a lot of pizzazz and energy,” says its would-be writer, herself a Sloper.
The show would help combat big, bad Brooklyn stereotypes: “As a Park Sloper, I’m flattered that they would think of portraying our neighborhood in a positive way,” said Craig Hammerman, district manager of the neighborhood’s Community Board 6. “Hopefully, it will go far in combating the negative stereotypes people have about Brooklyn.”
The show will not shy away from the Slope’s most pressing issues: Of course, no show about Park Slope would be complete without at least one storyline about yuppie moms and their sidewalk-crowding strollers…”I hope it’s not going to be a bunch of moms doing Pilates and drinking their lattes because that’s not me,” says one mother interviewed for the story.
This sounds like the best television of all time.
Call it ‘Slope & the City’ [NY Post]

4:22, count me too. I did own in Park Slope and chose to leave. Never looked back. Go figure.
pizzazz slope.
you are one of the only ones then, 3:56.
pizzazz.
even if i could afford to live in park slope i would NEVER live there.
almost every thread today is about park slope, 2:44. i think people who live there know how awesome it is and the others who wish they lived there and can’t afford it, are too bitter and jealous to say anything.
after a story like this…it’s kinda hard not to admit park slope is pretty terrific.
this thread’s anemia proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this blog is on life support…
best news i’ve heard all week.
i live in a brownstone in the north slope and someone left a note on my door last week saying that they’ve seen my ground floor apartment, like the look of it, and wondered if they could use it for filming.
i wonder if it was for this show. i never called back and now can’t find the note.
The recognition it deserves?
