Sex and the Park Cities: Looks Like Good Christian Bitches Is Headed to Network TV

Somewhere under a pile of books in the office is a copy of Park Cities author Kim Gatlin's Good Christian Bitches, which I may finally have to read based upon this Deadline Hollywood exclusive: Darren Star -- creator and exec producer of, among others, Sex and the City and Melrose Place -- has ABC, NBC and CBS calling dibs on his latest series, an adaptation of Gatlin's book being penned by First Wives Club and Soapdish scribe Robert Harling. Reports Nellie Andreeva:

The project, referred to by some as "Desperate Housewives in Dallas," centers on Amanda Vaughn, a recently divorced mother of two who, to get a fresh start, moves back to the affluent Dallas neighborhood where she grew where she finds herself in the whirling midst of salacious gossip, Botox, and fraud.

Starring Bradley Whitford. Though I may be wrong about that.

Admonkey, I need you to contact me directly. Thx.
OK. The staff took a vote, and "Preston Swallow" was the runaway favorite, followed, closely, by "Pride and Privilege" and "Moms I'd Like To ... Support in a manner to which she has become accustomed." I also voted for Dallas Observer-Style Nativity Scene's posting -- very <em>Howl</em>. I will contact the appropriate commenters with further instructions. Thanks for playing. I love you all. Yes, even you.

I vote for the Preston Swallow and JeHOEvahs Witless entries. If we were voting. Which we are not.
Prey for me!
Somebody's been watchin' waaaaaaaaaaay too much hardcore BDSM gay porn.
Let's be honest, unless it's called CSI: Dallas Women it's doomed for network failure.
@Dallas Observer-Style Nativity Scene Dude, i get that you're tired of the left bashing Christians while giving islam a pass, i agree, but you're not accomplishing anything with these posts other than to make yourself look like an ass, so just stop.

Apparently an article detailing the epidemic practice of UK-based Muslim cousins marrying and having retarded fucked-up babies is totally irrelevant to an article about stupid Christian practices. Got it.
To whoever is posting the Wilonsky/Libtard postings. Perhaps you are unaware that I am the total and ultimate commenting nutcase whacko in Dallas. You can't come along in 2010 and think you are going to get all up in my bitchy bloggin biz. I am the King of the Bitchy Blogging Bits. While I agree that you do have potential, you are too ....all over the map and don't use nearly enough gay sexual double entres. Also, you have to NEVER EVER use spellcheck. I am hoping that Kim will write some sequals....Good Scientologist Bitches. Good Muslim Bitches, and Good Atheist Bithches. IJS
No, I delete copy-and-pasted nonsense that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. And <em>Naive White Libtard</em> is a great name for a network series. Not this one, perhaps. Never banned a commenter. Happy to start now.

Known Kim since we were kids. Jack's right... very, very cool chick, and her book is spot on. Hope the series is a hit.
OK, contest on. Winner receives their choice: Rush or Margaret Cho tix. Entries close at 5. See, it pays to read comments on Unfair Park! People really do win. Maybe.
Let's start a contest to give the show a TV appropriate name. May I suggest <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8xQn9m17zU">"Good Christian Gold-Diggers"</a> ,staring the hot wife and Troy Barkman.
Jack, book report, please?
Kim Gatlin is one of the coolest chicks in Dallas and her book is a classic.
