NYC's Bitches Gets Greenlighted

Picture this: Four female werewolves on the prowl (For men? For shoes? For blood?) in New York City in a new TV series called Bitches. Now imagine that this is actually real, because it is! Wired reports that the new series was greenlighted for Fox, who are cashing in on the "ancient supernatural beast" phenom (Twilight). Werewolves, vampires, whatever—mix it up with some modern day drama and you've got a hit. At least that's what writer Michael Dougherty (Superman Returns, X2: X-Men United) is hoping for. And "according to The Hollywood Reporter, the quirky urban fairy tale Bitches will be executive-produced by Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts (Pushing Daisies). So basically, picture Carrie Bradshaw with some extra facial hair?

Ha ha, I get it. Girl werewolves = female dogs, i.e. bitches. Ha ha. Wow. So deep...ly stupid, sexist, etc. Must be nice to get paid for, erm, whatever it is they do for a living.

sounds super-dumb

fail: cashmere mafia. lipstick jungle.

werevolves only turn once a month. not much drama there. this sounds like it's going to be a campy show.

& cavemen wasn't that bad.

MrCow

it could be good, but i don't expect it to be. especially with a title like "bitches". oh yeah, high quality show right there.

whantmoore

It would be believable if they cast Amy Winehouse.

I miss Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

That sounds like an absolutely disgusting idea for a show. I seriously hope that this lasts about as long as that caveman show on ABC.

Have they really run out of ideas, that this is the best there is?

That will be one costly brazilian.

I may have just thrown up a little in my mouth. I can't even begin imagine the pitch session on this, but clearly it must have involved incriminating video footage.
