..if they would get rid of the character Victory Ford! Her character seems out of touch with reality. I don't think many people can relate to anything she does or experiences, thus show any sympathy for her. A main character should be someone the viewers care about and it's hard to do when you are just annoyed by her.
Wendy Healy seems to have the perfect life as she has everything (family, friends and work) in balance because of her husband who stays home taking care of the kids. But problems arise when her husband wants to achieve something more in his life too other than just raising kids.
IMO the story about Nico Reilly is most sympathetic as she struggles with her passionless marriage and male dominance at work. Frankly, her story is the one that keeps me watching this show.

In case you didn't catch this one on initially - it is worth a watch. It's not the same as SATC. It's not a comedy - it's a light drama. Anyone expecting SATC would have been disappointed. It's not a comedy drama mix like Desperate Housewives either.
The stories for each of the main career women characters are quite good. Lindsay Price the fashion designer with the Billionaire (Andrew McCarthy)is fun. Kim Raver with the toy boy is exciting (will it work out?). Brooke Shields the producer was the weakest. Don't understand the casting of her scruffy looking Cockney husband and her oddly ethnic looking daughter. Maybe that's why it didn't last.
This is better than the Cashmere Mafia which was really nonsense.

With so few decent prime-time shows on regular networks- we can't let this one go! My husband and I have mostly just been hooked on HBO shows for years and only have 1-2 shows that we regularly watch on the non-cable channels (like the original CSI). Lipstick Jungle, while toned down from Sex and the City, is a great option for those of us missing that show. And it's actually much more realistic- more development on the careers and family issues. If you haven't watched, check out some of the full episodes on the internet- you'll see it's worth saving. And while I'm at it- My Own Worst Enemy is also VERY worth saving- already great and with lots of potential for future story line twists...
This show seems to be quite underrated. It's got it going on - solid story lines and characters. Everyone is very believable in the roles and the story lines are relate-able. It's kinda fresh too vs. cliché and predictable. There are familiar faces and several new ones. Rosie Perez is a nice addition. Great acting and eye candy for the ladies and guys. This show deserves way more credit then it gets. Each episode gets better and better. The 10/8 was awesome. It's in a good time slot too - watch Project Runway then switch to NBC for this quality programming. I feel invested in the show and will keep watching it. Hope you give it a chance.

I watched season 1 and the beginning of season 2 in a weekend, and now I am addicted. Could Nico and Kirby together be any hotter??? They have amazing chemistry! I am in awe of the two of them together, it is crazy. I hope the writers of this show keep them together because it is hot! All three women are strong women who I can totally relate to because of my own career. This show is real good and I can't wait to watch it again. I think everyone who loved sex and the city would love this show. My friends have talked about this show since it was on, but I figured since i missed the first season it would be hard to get into it, but I was wrong. It is a great show!
