Updates

2. we are going to shoot the pilot of ARMY WIVES, the series i created and am writing and producing for the Mark Gordon Company and Touchstone Television. we finally found a warm home for the show on LIFETIME, which is undergoing an overhaul with new executives who are reinventing their network into more of a HBO/Showtime cable station with original series, etc. the show is an hour drama set on an Army post and deals with the pressures and traditions of the military on the women who are left behind while their men go to war. in our twist, a man, married to a female soldier, is also an "Army wife." the series has a lot of humor as well as pathos as an unlikely tribe is formed to create a bond based on one common theme: they all love a soldier. who could die at any moment. and they are all outcasts with secrets that buck the system. if you've ever wondered about life behind military gates, this is the show for you. we are shooting the pilot the first week of September. i'll keep you updated on casting, etc. as it happens.

Lifetime Orders Full Season Of Army Wives

Lifetime just gave marching orders for a full season of ‘Army Wives’ after the success of its fall pilot. The network ordered 13 episodes of the show starring Kim Delaney and Catherine Bell for a March 2007 premier. Let me reiterate for all the gentlemen; the show features Catherine Bell (you remember, the hottie from ‘JAG’). Lifetime: Television (just) for Women? Not anymore.

‘Army Wives’ revolves around a group of women and one man living with their families on an Army post and the issues they deal with as their spouses serve their country. According to TV.com, the show is filmed on location in Charleston, South Carolina, and is based on the book [url=www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?id=3727972605456&type=title&find=Under+the+Sabers%3A+The+Unwritten+Code+of+Army+Wives&x=15&y=4]‘Under the Sabers: The Unwritten Code of Army Wives,’

Wow! geez...

What's funny is I walked into my mom's room and she was watching it. She said she really enjoyed it, and I was like, "hey mom, you know that episode where Caesar escapes from the underworld and chains the Fates so he can change what happened?" and she said, "yeah..."

I said, "The same woman who wrote that episode wrote that show," and she was like, ".......Oh, wow! No wonder I liked it." It was kinda funny.

Has she seen Carolina or The Prince and Me? If not, she'll probably like them as well.

For all who have seen Army Wives, isn't it great to finally have a show on TV that you can sink your teeth into - so to speak. To anyone who hasn't seen Army Wives....get off you duffs, turn off those pathetic reality shows and turn on a show that is full of heart and soul. It will make you laugh, cry and most importantly, think about the lives of those around us. Katherine has always shown us she has the talent for great shows (When Fates Collide, is a good example), but to finally get the recognition and exposure and commitment from TPTB has got to be a truly great "natural" high.


Hi Joxcenia, saw you waving at me over on Katherine's message board. Looks like you are keeping extremely busy, as usual.
