They’re Werewolves, Bitches!
Star TrekStargate:AtlantisFireflyHey, let’s do a show about werewolf women and call it Bitches!
That’s what’s happening at the Fox Network. Bitches will be a dramedy about four women in New York who are also werewolves. It’s being pushed as Sex and the City with werewolves.
There are three things that bother me about this: Sex and the City, werewolves, and Fox. OK, I guess that’s everything, then.
Sex and the City: Although it’s a favorite, Sex and the City is a product of the late 1990s and the new millennium when times were good and credit was easy. It spoke to women at the time the way Mary Tyler Moore spoke to women in the 1970s and in that way, SATC was an event like Halley’s Comet. Attempts to re-create the rapport and character balance haven’t been successful.
Werewolves: Body hair, bad teeth, and excessive slobber are not sexy. Transfiguration from hot babe to werewolf is not sexy. It’s pretty horrific. Have you seen An America Werewolf in London? Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? Blood and Chocolate tried to sexify werewolves and failed.
Fox: Need I say more?
