‘Lipstick Jungle’ Cancelled, Media World Crumbles
Rohin Guha
November 13, 2008
One potential bright spot in America's fiscal tragedy -- our arts and culture now forcibly skews closer to reality. Consider MoMA's assortment of modular homes, which have suffered the same fate as the real-life housing market. Alas, there are worse woes ahead -- such as the recent cancellation of Lipstick Jungle or confusion over a Sex & the City sequel. To most people, this sort of news heralds the end of a crapulent spate of television brought on earlier this year by yet another SATC clone.
Even in the unscripted arena, the CW’s Stylista is teetering awfully close to cancellation hell. Clearly, all of these casualties and uncertainties have forced this fluffy genre of meta-TV to embrace reality and inspired networks to develop shows capable of connecting with their target demo. Apart from Gossip Girl, that is, which continues to coast on its dubious depiction of “the poor.”

Brooke Shields was awesome! As Wendy she represented a strong, intelligent woman balancing career and family while achieving great success in a male-centric world. She’s someone most women can relate to and all women can look up to.

One of the best shows. There is something wrong if this show is going off the air. I can’t imagine there isn’t a following as there was for Sex and the City.

Why is this show being cancelled? It is the 6th most DVR’d show on? Makes no sense at all. There is clearly a following if you look into a few internet communities. I would love to know why they decided to cancel it.
