It's The L Word, stupid!

The two new Sex and the City (SATC) pretenders, Cashmire Mafia and Lipstick Jungle have provoked Entertainment Weekly's "The Search for the Next Sex and the City." The article by Jennifer Armstrong talks about every conceivable buddy show from the two new mediocre shows to Black female buddies (Girlfriends), white male buddies (Entourage and Carpoolers) and other white female shows like Desperate Houswives and shows that include women of color (Grey's Anatomy); but she (and her editors) ignore the most obvious heir to SATC, The L Word. I can't help but wonder why. Armstrong even quotes writer-producer Jenny Bicks' comment: "The question is, who is the next group who hasn't had a voice yet?" And never even seems to consider the obvious answer.
