Why is it that prime time soaps have to be based in Dallas? Why is it that we have to have prime soaps at all?
GCB, Good Christian Belles is based on the book Good Christian Bitches... makes sense to change the B word to Belles so that we don't have another *&%&*#@$ My Dad Says.
Amanda was the mean beautiful girl from high school that the boys loved and the girls hated. Now 20 years later her life and marriage have fallen apart and she is forced to move back home with her rich Mom in Dallas.
Actually the soap part of GCB is over rated and this is actually a mild drama with some very funny moments. Amanda is now nice, but the old haters want revenge. Everything is based around church and a scriptural excuse can always be found for a well deserved act of meanness. Throw in the kids fresh from LA to Dallas and there are some likeable characters.
ABC must not have much faith in this program because it isn't even listed on their fall or mid-season schedules anywhere. If I were ABC's program director I would run it right after Desperate Housewives - it's the same audience. Only one problem with that scenario, ABC is running their new drama Pan Am Sunday nights after Housewives.
No worries, Pan Am will only last a month, then GCB can drop right in that slot. And with no other replacements in the pipeline Belles should last the rest of the year.
