Based on the best-selling novel by Candace Bushnell Sex and the City, this fun dramedy follows three high-powered friends as they weather the ups and downs of lives lived at the top of their game. Nico (Kim Raver, 24, editor-in-chief of a hot fashion magazine, wants to replace her boss as CEO. Movie exec Wendy (Brooke Shields, Suddenly Susan finds even her most earnest efforts may not be enough to balance career and family. And free-spirited designer Victory (Lindsay Price, Beverly Hills, 90210 longs to make her dreams come true, and maybe find Mr. Right along the way.

Armed with humor and strength, these three modern New York women support one another through the triumphs and tears that are all part of making it big in the Big Apple. Written by executive producers DeAnn Heline and Eileen Heisler (both for How I Met Your Mother, Three Sisters) and based on the book by Bushnell, Lipstick Jungle is from Universal Media Studios.

my take
Lipstick Jungle is NBC's big midseason debut. There's bound to be comparisons to "Sex in the City," (Candance Bushnell book) with a major difference: These women are all Ms. Big. Each one is at the top of her respective game, yet there's something about this that doesn't sit well with me...and I don't know what it is, especially since I usually go for something like this. (A caveat: both DeAnn Heline and Eileen Heisler, the creators, are no longer with the show.)
