Darren Star Comes for Brooklyn; We Concede
This Again

Ever since a couple weeks ago when we saw some dick in McCarren Park do a bump in front of a baby, we've known it was time to get the hell out of Brooklyn. The plan was to become LES clichés at the end of the summer, but we're now left with no choice but to emigrate as soon as Craig's List and our friend Kat's truck give us the go ahead. The TV people have learned to exist in daylight like human beings and they're coming this way!

Producers are giving Park Slope the star treatment with a pilot by the same executives who brought "Sex and the City," starring Sarah Jessica Parker, and "Melrose Place" to TV.

According to industry sources, Darren Star, who created those smash shows, has teamed with Sony and NBC for a proposed series about a group of affluent characters who live in the upscale Brooklyn neighborhood.

Sue Kramer, the writer currently at work on the series, calls the program a "dramady. As you can no doubt imagine, Kramer is a Park Slope resident herself, so it's little wonder that she says shit like this: "Park Slope has so much juice, just like Manhattan. It's got a lot of pizzazz and energy." Our guess as to what the TV incarnation of Park Slope won't have a lot of: black people, whose pizzazz and energy are frequently overlooked by Darren Star.
