Star Jones revealed on Wendy today, that her summer book, Satan Sister's is being adapted into a television show. She said its a done deal but she cant talk more about it. Im actually excited about this. Its about the juicy backstage drama of a daytime talk show. I wonder if ABC will pick it up....LOL

Yep. But who knows, maybe they got it together? Also, "Satan's Sisters" is such a nasty title. I'm glad they changed it.

 

Star mentioned that. She said that title wasnt marketable

The trailer looks fun! I'll be watching. 

 

Now that Barbara is out at ABC and doesn't own The View anymore it's amazing Star was able to get them to appear in a cameo. 

Oh thats right. Star was on today and I couldnt beleive they brought her back to promote this bc I dont see Babs having the same sense of humor

 

 

If anyone wants to see it, it's on VH1's website.

 

I saw it. It's definitely soap opera. I liked it but thought it moved so fast.

It's definitely got a Devious Maids kinda vibe. I like it a lot and I'll definitely check out the rest of the season. It seems, though, based on the pilot and the previews, that it'd be best to have this only last a season. Anyhoo, love Vanessa Williams and Tichina Arnold in this, and the other unknowns are strong. Also, GL alum alert! Tammy Blanchard plays the youngest co-host's mom! Dang, she's playing mother to a twentysomething already?

Lol she debuted on GL 19 years ago. I didn't even recognize her. She looks a lot older than she actually is

I'll have to give it a try ... will post thoughts whenever I get to watch it. From the previews I wasn't super impressed because it seems like Williams plays a lot of roles the same. I love me some Tichina Arnold though. I guess it's supposed to be funny that they all dislike each other and get into cat fights? I used to enjoy all that but I don't anymore for some reason. It seems like a lot of shows just try too hard wanting every line to be witty and sharp and quotable ...

I enjoyed it for what it is. It's an easy to watch, light, humorously toned, soap opera. 

 

There's something about the way it's filmed that looks cheap. Regardless, I find it enjoyable. 

I like it for what it is. Something nice and light, and I find it pretty funny.

"You little lesbian!"

"I'm sexually fluid!"

 

First I thought it was camp. Then it went mega-camp. Now I think this is a pure unashamed Jackie Collins tribute.

 

Not sure if that's an insult or not.

This [!@#$%^&*] is beyond camp.

 

Like Maxine was in a coma for several days but kept in a hot pose? Hahaha. I've not even watched episode two yet.

An unashamed Jackie Collins tribute can only be a compliment.

First of all - my mom LOVES Jackie's books and have several.

 

Secondly... this is so campy.

I might add - this show is pure trash. As a Jackie Collins novel.

I wasn't a big fan of Devious Maids, even stopped watching it after 2 seasons, but this is even worse. Dialogue is horrible, acting meh. Feel bad for both Vanessa Williams (although she seems to be playing the same character since Ugly Betty) and Tichina Arnold. The "Elisabeth Hasselbeck" chick is terrible.

I'm enjoying this and agree it's light and fun like other posters have said. Not gonna lie, I was hoping for something closer to the real going-ons that happened behind the scenes at The View but this will serve for a fun summer show non the less.

Yeah, it's pretty campy and makes Devious Maids look tame. It's fun junk food television, but so over-the-top you can't expect to learn any juicy behind-the-scenes dirt that pays direct tribute to The View. My hubby loves it; I enjoy it, but it's not must-see-TV. I love Vanessa Williams though, so I'm glad she's a heavy hitter on the show.

In the recent interviews she's given, Vanessa seems embarrassed at the show.
