New show: GCB

GCB
ABC. Midseason

Starring: Kristin Chenoweth (Glee, Wicked, Pushing Daisies)

Plot: Stands for Good Christian Bitches (or Belles). A mom moves back to her old town that’s full of mean girls. She was one herself, but then she got out of her bubble.

Why We Are Excited: There was a time when we wouldn’t have liked the idea of this show, because Christianity and Catholicism are such common, trendy whipping boys on TV/in movies these days. But now we know, there are some bitchy Christians in the world. They need to be mocked. Kristin is a Christian herself. It’s ok to have a sense of humor about hypocrisy and snobs. It seems like the perfect role for Kristin too. Plenty of women have been burned in a holiness/perfection competition with other women, Christian or not, so we feel like people will be able to relate.

Why We Are Not Excited: This could turn into a one-joke show. Comedies have disappointed us recently.
