It's a "Sex"-successor smackdown!

Two will enter ... one will leave ...

No, we're not talking about Thunderdome.

We're referring to this season's Battle of the Sex-and-the-City Heirs Apparent.

In the Blue Corner: Cashmere Mafia, ABC's new series from SatC producer Darren Starr. The story follows four powerful Manhattan executives—played by Lucy Liu, Miranda Otto, Frances O'Connor, and Bonnie Somerville—as they support each other through the ups and downs of life, love, and career in the big city. It premieres on November 27.

And in the Red Corner: Lipstick Jungle, NBC's new series based on the book by SatC author Candace Bushnell. The story ... well ... it follows three powerful Manhattan executives—played by Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, and Lindsay Price—as they support each other through the ups and downs of life, love, and career in the big city. We'll have to wait a bit longer for this contender, which is set to bow on January 1, 2008.


Yes, the glaring similarities have been duly noted by both press and public, and the odds of both shows making it are pretty slim. Take a look at each promo and leave a comment on which one you'll be more likely to watch.

P.S. What's that? You're wondering which competitor managed to snag SatC wardrobe wizardress Patricia Field? That advantage goes to Cashmere Mafia.
