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]

Maybe they will advertise on Brownstoner
I thought Cynthia lived on the epper west side. Just what I heard.
According to the article, the program will be a ‘dramady’. I always got confused between Dramady and Bactrian until I learned the easy way to distinguish them: Dramady has one hump as in the letter ‘D’, and Bactrian has two humps as in the letter ‘B’.
A number of the main characters in the SATC movie die. Each one leaves this world in accidents based on MTA warning posters (riding between subway cars, slips on the steps, hanging from subway car doorways, etc.).
I think Nixon’s character moved to Brooklyn Heights.
The REAL Cynthia Nixon, however… her ladylove lives in the Slope, I believe.
Park slope as pizza, not pizazz. Though it does have its fair share of pieces-of-azzzzzzzz
If I recall correctly, at the end of the Sex and The City series, the Cynthia Nixon character and her family moved to a Brooklyn fixer-upper.
I am in favor of anything that attracts more hot women who think having casual sex is a badge of honor to Park Slope.
Pizazz? How about Williamsburg? But I guess someone who uses the word pizazz would pick Park Slope.
uhgggg
how creative…
i would think they would be more cutting edge-
and park slope is Not where its at.
