<NBC applying "Lipstick" in "ER" space
Thu Nov 29, 2007 3:15pm EST
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Re****ter) - In a strike-related scheduling
move, NBC will launch midseason comedy-drama "Lipstick Jungle" in
"ER's" Thursday 10 p.m. slot.
"Lipstick," starring Brooke ****elds, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price as a
trio of successful New York women, will premiere February 7, after
"ER" runs out of the original episodes stockpiled before the writers'
strike.
"Lipstick," based on Candace Bushnell's best-seller, is the first
series to air in "ER's" time slot since the medical drama's launch in
1994.
The scheduling decision was influenced by the strike, but NBC has been
mulling splitting the Thursday 10 p.m. time period with another show
to avoid "ER" repeats, which -- as is the case with most serialized
dramas -- have not performed well. Last year, the network planned to
launch midseason drama "The Black Donnellys" in the time slot in
January 2007, but scrapped the plan when "ER" came out the gate
strong.
So far, Fox is the only network to announce a comprehensive
contingency midseason schedule in case the writers' strike continues
into next year.>
