While many networks might be in trouble next Fall due to the writers' strike shrinking the new pilot season, ABC is looking quite good. It has a solid stable of returning favorites (Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives), hit reality shows (The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars) and a solid 2007 freshman class that will return for sophomore seasons (Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Samantha Who?). This doesn't leave much room for new or bubble shows, so this season ABC is cleaning out its closet, dumping a lot of iffy shows while picking up a few gems from other networks.

You lift each other up and support each other… We have a deep respect for each other… it's become a very nurturing and supportive group."

'Women's Murder Club,' a New Police Procedural, Brought to You by...Jessica Simpson's Dad?

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 15:08:54 GMT

Women's Murder Club is a brand-new ABC police procedural starring Angie Harmon about four women in San Francisco, who pool their resources to solve crimes. One is a detective, one an assistant District Attorney, one is a medical examiner, and one is a reporter. The series is loosely based on a series of books by the prolific author James Patterson. There's not a whole lot special about Women's Murder Club. It's not particularly highly touted, it hasn't received much buzz, and, quality-wise, it could go either way. The premise is sound, and it simply depends on the execution, which is the case for most shows. There is, however, one piece of bizarre info surrounding the show: one of its executive producers is Joe Simpson, the father of pop “singers” Jessica and Ashlee Simpson.
