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]

Here in Brooklyn Heights, we prefer Key Foods parties. Those 90 year-olds sure love to get there groove on by the fresh vegetables.
Maybe they’ll have a black friend and they go to Bed Stuy some weekend for a barbecue block party!!!!
BTW, Smoke joint is definitely taking over the Bassam space
Maybe be they will shoot some scenes in the south slope. where more of the Brooklyn natives live.
5th ave should be the party scenes and 7th ave should be where they discuss “last night sex adventures” over coffee.
or how a scene where they do volunteer work at the methadone clinic. (a little off the slope of course)
or join a rally to stop wide spread over development.
or how about if one of them gets a job at wild wild west to cover their groceries at union market.
got to go, I sending my ideas to the shows writer.
Park Slope Adjacent RULES
261 ain’t Park Slope. It’s BORING Hill. Slopers know how to have a key party and stay married!
boring.
another troll debate on how PS sucks. whatever.
I hope they have a story thread about couples that decide to start having key parties with other parents at their kid’s school. Apparently this happened at ps 261 and two of the couples are now separated!! Really, the possibilities are endless for this show. Actually, maybe it will give us some good ideas about how to make our lives more interesting!
I heard that one character gets run over by a Subaru, that another is strangled by a psychotic lesbian, that another crushed by a pallet-load of organic tomatoes outside the Co-op, and the last one dies of boredom waiting for the train. All in Park Slope. It’s got pizzazz.
Hal, I think they both spit at you though. Sorry for getting off topic.
How about a Spanish novella based in Canarsie???!!!!
