ABC-TV Greenlights new series "Good Christian Bitches."

[ARA]

This should be a real winner. Why do they continue to do this? But then again, why is "Jersey Shore" such a ratings bonanza? Oh, Well.

[ClearCase_guy]

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

[mewzilla]

Good luck finding advertisers.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Let’s burn a TV Guide.

[ARA]

Can you find one to burn?

[a fool in paradise]

PING

Defund the Left.

Boycott Disney.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Or “Snarky Liberal A$$holes”

[RockinRight]

Damn! You stole my idea.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

True, unfortunately, they are much rarer than Korans.

[ilovesarah2012]

I say we riot and threaten people.

[absolootezer0]

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

because they wouldn't be able to pick just one show to call that?

[a fool in paradise]

Let’s burn a TV Guide.

Nielsen families would riot.

[Pete]

I am not surprised. Jesus said that if they hated him, they would hate his followers and so they do.

[chrisser]

How would such a show differentiate itself from most of what's on already?

[ScottinVA]

I guess “Good Muslim Bitches” didn’t appeal to them... nor does beheading.

[Alex Murphy]

Ping for later

[ArrogantBustard]

ABC is the homosexual network; Disney is the homosexual studio.

[allmendream]

but if you were of this world they would love you.

[techcor]

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

Because it already has the name "ABC News" or is it "CBS News" ? No wait, I think it's called "MSNBC News".

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

Who would want to watch a bunch of the UGLIEST women on earth having sex... PUKE!

[N. Theknow]

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

It's called The Evening News.

[Dem Guard]

The article said they are producing a “yet unnamed” show based on the book by this title.

[a fool in paradise]

I saw an article where the band “New Pornographers” had a show cancelled at Calvin College because of the name.

http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2010/09/calvin_college_cancels_the_new.html

Yet there is a civic owned theater in Houston with a band booked with the F-word in their name.

Such is the culture.

Idiocracy, here we come (recall what Fuddruckers eventually became)...

[wiggen]

Okay okay. I’m at least as offended as the next person but lets read the article.
“....dramedy based on Kim Gatlin’s book Good Christian Bitches. The untitled project, which will be written by Steel Magnolias and The First Wives Club scribe Robert Harling, has received a rich put pilot commitment by ABC after the network and CBS went down to the wire in their pursuit of the dramedy.”
So its the books name they are adapting it from. The project is still untitled. I myself will never have anything to do with the author.

Good Christian Bitches is the devilishly fun, yet strikingly honest, tale of Amanda Vaughn, a recently divorced mother of two. To get a fresh start, she moves back to the affluent Dallas neighborhood where she grew up. In an Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Desperate Housewives on steroids style, her old friends are already out to destroy her reputation. In the whirling midst of salacious gossip, Botox, and fraud, Amanda turns to those who love her and the faith she’s always known. Will the Good Christian Bitches get the best of her, or will everyone see that these GCBs are as counterfeit as their travel jewelry?

If it weren't for football, FoxNews or Deadliest Catch I would not own a television.

[BenLurkin]

You mean, “The View”?

[ShadowAce]

Who would want to watch a bunch of the UGLIEST women on earth having sex... PUKE!

I thought "Sex and the City" *had* good ratings.....

About the Author

Kim Gatlin

Dallas native Kim Gatlin has spent most of her professional life in the fields of charitable fundraising and commercial real estate title sales.

In Good Christian Bitches, Kim puts a voice to the downside of gossip in a light-hearted piece of fiction but with a message that she hopes will resonate with women everywhere.

Like the feisty, charismatic women in Good Christian Bitches, Kim and the women in her life are bold, sassy and strong. She counts her mother, sister, girlfriends, cousin and two steadfast Southern Baptist grandmothers in that group—all women who use these traits as assets and gifts.

As an advocate for numerous charitable organizations, Kim is committed to fundraising for a variety of causes including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation where she sits on the board, Crystal Charity Ball, Alzheimer’s Association, Dallas Cattle Baron’s Ball benefiting the American Cancer Society, and Children’s Medical Center Women’s Auxiliary.

Kim lives in the Park Cities area of Dallas with her two children.
Good Christian Bitches is her first book.

They wouldn’t do this if it was insulting to Muslims.

This is ABC giving the middle finger to Christians.

[TheBattman]

“Stupid Liberal Whores”

Because - who is interested in a show that is just about everyday life?

Oh -wait... Seinfeld survived how many seasons?

[Michael Barnes]

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

..cause Katie Couric already has a gig at the moment??

[earlJam]

After comments made by Supreme Court Justice Breyer, all we Christian have to do is to incite enough violence and the government will shut this down.

Does he really want to live in a society like that?

[Bitsy]

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

because they wouldn’t be able to pick just one show to call that?

And, by the time they picked the cast from the millions of them, the season would be over.

It’s a carbon copy of “Desperate Housewives” that takes place in Dallas.

[Cheetahcat]

How about Muslim Whores gone wild?

[darkangel82]

Filth.

[combat_boots]

“Holmes on Homes,” “Burn Notice” and many (but not all) old movies, too, on TCM.

It’s getting close to being a toss up.

However, the intel is pretty good on some news shows. In doses, of course.

The Net, Hulu and DVDs are looking more appealing though.

[Question Liberal Authority]

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

Because there's already 100 shows on TV with that concept.

[TSgt]

I don’t have the time for sitcoms or drama shows. If it’s not football, news or a damn good documentary like Deadliest Catch I’ve got better things to do with my time than watch the stupid box.

I have to admit, the Hurricane Katrina coverage was some of the most entertaining television I’ve ever watched. Especially when Shep Smith’s mascara started to run from his weeping.

[combat_boots]

CC has a pic of Sheppy with blue eyeshadow that cracks me up every time.

[Political Junkie Too]

I'm guessing that Hillary Clinton's "F'n J Bastards" can't be too far behind?

-PJ

[al_c]

Is this going to be on their ABC Family channel ... along with all of those other wonderful “family” programs?

[dangus]

>> How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”? <<

Must... not... make... joke... about... The... View...

[VRWCmember]

How come no one greenlights a series called “Stupid Liberal Whores”?

Because "The View" has already been on the air for several years now.

[techcor]

D’oh! How could I have missed that one!

[The Comedian]

Like the feisty, charismatic women in Good Christian Bitches, Kim and the women in her life are bold, sassy and strong

Translation: Shallow, narcissistic, and obnoxious.

And they wonder why men bang 'em and run.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[greatplains]

Already been done - “The View”.

[GOPJ]

When all is said and done, ABC will go broke - and we’ll still be here...
