SJP Bringing Park Slope to the TV Masses
From what we gather, the rumors of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick being the mystery buyers of the Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany mansion on Prospect Park West are not true.

From what we gather, the rumors of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick being the mystery buyers of the Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany mansion on Prospect Park West are not true. The famous Sex and the City actress does have a new connection to street overlooking the park: She’s optioned the rights to Amy Sohn’s new novel called, not surprisingly, Prospect Park West, and is planning to create a television series out of it. According to MTV, the book “follows four mothers living in the baby-buggie-friendly borough of Brooklyn, and is described as a mix of ‘sex, parenthood and celebrity.'”
I can’t wait to see the episode where they have to explain to the kid that the bank is kicking them out of their brownstone.
“anyone? c’mon dipster, we can offer newports to the kiddies in the park! (that sounded so bad ahhaha)”
haha rob – i say we make SJPs stoop our new hangout to smoke dutch masters and drink malt liquor.
oh and i have to clarify something, that might not be obvious to a casual reader who might have opened this thread. i would absolutely never do what i just said in my previous post. (i could just imagine someone right now starting a thread on the park slope mommy message board saying there’s an evil gay man in town giving their children cigarettes)!
*rob*
Sex in the City worked because it fed single women what they desperately wanted to hear: that it’s totally ok to be a self-absorbed, materialist whore. I don’t understand what the follow is supposed to be here.
do you think they will give the character’s names or just refer to them as ‘mom to [insert child’s name here]’…
made me laugh bodhi.
ugh. my one man army of park slope degentrification does not appear to be working as i had planned. is there anyone else who would like to join me in this cause!? anyone? c’mon dipster, we can offer newports to the kiddies in the park! (that sounded so bad ahhaha)

Laugh all you like, but 10 or more years ago, this would have been called “Central Park West.” Park Slope is the new Upper West Side. We should all hope this TV show is a big success because it’ll pull in tourists who’ll spend money and home buyers who want the cache of living in a hot neighborhood. Move over Beverly Hills 90210; it’s Brooklyn 11217.
lol rob.
wow. this is whack. i can’t wait for the scene about the lost “boy’s” blue hat that caused all the controversy on the park slope parents listserv.
do you think they will give the character’s names or just refer to them as ‘mom to [insert child’s name here]’…
i don’t exactly know why but i don’t want this project to succeed. haven’t enough neighborhoods in nyc been ruined by media overexposure?
That would be a pretty funny character Rob. If it was more of a sitcom that would probably work… but only if Rob got to call the “girls” chicken-necked horse-faces once an episode. (We don’t hold our tongues in Brooklyn…)
