Because "Army Wives" is Too Exciting

Let me start by saying I have not seen USA Network's "The Starter Wife" starring Debra Messing of "Will & Grace" fame. And, to be fair, I probably never will.

But for all of you who DID watch the miniseries (can I see a show of hands?), there's some good news: It has returned -- and as a real series! -- though whether or not you watch it depends on your reaction to the following:

“From the mini-series to the series, we really go into what it’s like to be a divorced woman and navigating with your ex-husband, what it’s like to have that relationship, how to raise a child in those conditions, how to date in those conditions,” said Josann McGibbon, who, with Sara Parriott (with whom she wrote “Runaway Bride”), is an executive producer and writer for the series.

If any of those buzzwords hit you in a special place (your face), then maybe this show is for you. Me? On Fridays? At 9? Drunk. So no Starter Wife for me.

Like a zombie, "The Starter Wife" miniseries has been picked up for a ten episode season on USA, airing Fridays at 9pm.
