Next day Mia's episode with Gay Mark is on Gawker.com. Oh, silly CM. You can't name drop Gawker and suddenly be cool. It doesn't work that way. But things are looking up for Mia because we learn that much like the British monarchy knights brave men, she has the divine right to bestow bright futures upon others. In what seems to be a really humiliating casting choice, Lucy Liu, tiny Asian doll, has a Camryn Manheim of an assistant. When she acts all condescending to her, too, it makes me really uncomfortable.
I don't know her name, so obviously I'll make one up and call her "Cammie", and will continue to do so even when I find out her real name.
Anyway, Cammie wants to work her way up and Mia gives her an approving nod, telling her she's ready for it and to prove that she believes in her, she solemnly gives her a pair of sunglasses from the sunglasses tree. And Cammie gets all misty! WTF?? This metaphor is rode hard and hung up wet. Let. it. go.
So, final scene, CM allows Zoe a little one-upping of Valerie in the only way she knows how. Buying the validation of the entire elementary school. She rents one of those tacky red double decker tour buses for the field trip, which the kids run to like a giant Pokemon descending from the heavens onto the street and suddenly she's the hero of the day. Whatever. Valerie doesn't even look that upset, because no matter how hard you try and buy your kids' love, all kids really want is a hot stay at home mom like Krista Allen who makes apple tarts and doesn't get insecure any time she sees a female under the age of forty. Zoe even gets the last line by brushing Valerie off with the "I'm on a conference call" zinger, but it's too little, too late. You'll never win!!
So we're out for today, but don't despair, we have so much to live for! Will Nobby be the rabbit to Juliet's carrot? Will Caitlin ever be a believable Manhattanite? Stay tuned for the next YM issue, I mean Cashmere Mafia episode! I know I'm behind in recapping, but I'll catch up within a week or two. Proms!

IS, I made the mistake of watching the pilot, and will not make that mistake again. However, skipping your recaps would be a mistake. Well Done! Now you have to tell me that Krista Allen is on the show? Damn, now I may have to watch again! Did anyone see her on "Project Greenlight" when they cast her in the horror movie and she got all taken aback when they wanted her to go topless or show pokies through her tshirt? Hilarious. . . like she was freaking Helen Mirren or something.
Funny to see her coming on board . . . kinda like when Aaron Spelling brought Heather Locklear on to "Melrose Place" to save that ship when it was sinking, but even then it took 2 or 3 seasons before desperate measures were called for, not 2 or 3 episodes.

BTW, I'm seeing all these ads for a show called "Lipstick Jungle", which looks like the same goddamn show.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would ever really wanna go and top that...
I loved Teen Witch as a kid! The summer of 1990 my best friend and I watched Teen Witch, Dirty Dancing & Pretty Woman over and over.
Now I have to go watch all of the Teen Witch clips on youtube!
I cannot stand to watch this show, but I am enjoying your recaps.
