Late last week rumors were running rampant that Lipstick Jungle had been canceled. Not so, according to NBC Entertainment co-chair Ben Silverman, who says that the show may have new life with its recent move to Friday nights.
The comedic drama about three high powered women, played by Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price will air its remaining four episodes, with the hope that if they see viewership growth, more will be ordered and the series can go back into production.
The show actually picked up 50 percent more viewers this past Friday when delayed viewing (DVR’s and other devices) was included in the measuring equation. The network also received an outpouring of support from fans. Both are promising 11th hour developments.
Brooke Shields had this to say when questioned over the weekend: “Our bosses are saying, ‘You’re not canceled, don’t worry. We’re just trying to figure out how to make this make sense.’ I mean, we’re basically No. 1 if you look at DVR. And you look at all that. So the public I watching it.”
Well, some must be.
