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.
