Like a trainwreck

Let me preface this story by letting ya'll know that when I first moved to Kansas City I had no TV, and none of my furniture was set-up, and I had no clue about basically 95% of the things and work, so obviously getting a TV and watching TV were the last on my "to do list" (which, btw, I make and check off religiously). I am not a machine though, and needed to be entertained. My Seinfeld DVD collection through season 7 took care of most of this, but after I finished the last episode on the last DVD I was at a loss....until I remembered...EPISODES ONLINE!!! YEA!

I quickly went to abc.com and fox.com to search out all my fav shows I hadn't seen since I had moved, because of the writer's strike...this didn't take long. So then I moved on to new shows, and I found some GREAT one (Pushing Daisies) and also some horrid ones--AKA CASHMERE MAFIA! If I had to describe this show in two words they would be cheesy and cliche. I mean, clearly the name says it all, really...a mafia...of cashmere wearers? How clever of you. Not.

This show is honestly one of the worst shows I have ever seen, I'm talkin questionably worse than "Viva Laughlin" the TV series musical with Hugh Jackman and Melanie Griffth. You'd think with names like this they'd do something right...no. Srsly. Go youtube this stuff, it is GOLD. I'm adding a clip of it from talk soup because it makes it so delish and perfect and another of Mr. Jackman himself...what an ASS for doing this show.





But I digress, back to Cashmere Mafia. This show is trying SO badly to be Sex and the City it is pathetic. They are reaching for lesbian stories, cheating stories, divorce stories, women climbing the corporate ladder stories, it is just sad. I have watched EVERY episode of Cashmere Mafia (it is like a train wreck, I want to look away SO BAD but can't! Someone help me!) and I don't know ONE characters name, that is how utterly useless this show is. I seriously watch it with one eye closed because it pains me so much.

Basically the red head, though so very very hot (I'll give her that, she looks absafuckinglutely stunning 99% of the time) is the most annoying character. She takes news of her husband's cheating on her by talking calming and saying thanks for letting me know then speaking calmly with her husband about how she's going to go have an affair too, fyi-- it is all so contrived, NO ONE in real life acts like this. Speaking of, the blonde is an absolute idiot who I can't stand. She was straight, then gay, then straight, then wanted to be a gay mom, then got dumped, and now she's just back to being an ugly loser. The brown haired chick is like okay, she's definitely a better actress than red and blonde, but her story line is cliche as hell---she's the breadwinner, husband is the mom type deal. Then there's Lucy Liu. I missed her when she was on Ally McBeal.

I'd show you a clip, but it really doesn't give its crappiness justice. PS- I also hate their musical interlude. Oh, and nice OBVIOUS copy on all of SATC's series ads, do something original CM- you can't even take a group picture that hasn't been done before.
