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]

I think it’s great. shows that highlight Brooklyn will only give the borough the recognition it deserves. (regardless of which nabes). Though, I would include more Brooklyn nabes to make it more interesting. Go girl keep writing, forget about all these nay sayers, let them write their own scripts. writing short cute critiques on a blog is BS in comparison.
Guest at 10:36…too funny! Right on target!
Samantha will have pleanty of company with all the other people who really suck in Park Slope.
Suck it, slopers.
thats what Im talkning about. Douglass street pool hookers!! I hope they include that in the show.
The NY Post article, Park Slope and this thread are all seriously overrated. SO last year. Yawn.
Park Slope Borderline rules too
11:02 You suck if you consider Blue Ribbon to be “nightlife”. There’s plenty of bars in PS, plus hookers on 4th Ave!
What’s a key party?
no one will care. having lived in PS, found the people to be too hysterically liberal, academic, and ugly to be remotely interesting. never highlight an area where political bumper stickers exist on old beat up cars, or saturns, or both. also, sarah jessica parker was simply fabulous and able to carry a TV show. i don’t think lightening will strike twice for darren.
