Subject: Ripp Cockburn?

GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES (ABC) - David James Elliott ("Scoundrels") is set to play husband to Kristin Chenoweth in the drama pilot, about Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb), a widowed mother of two who - to get a fresh start - moves back to the affluent Dallas neighborhood where she grew up. He'll play oilman Ripp Cockburn, who used to know Amanda's late husband. Annie Potts, Jennifer Aspen, Marisol Nichols and Miriam Shor also star in the hour, from ABC Studios, director Alan Poul and writer Robert Harling.

[> [> By the way, the series, if it's picked up, is based on a book by that name and is a 'temporary' title. -- Lee, 23:38:49 03/20/11 Sun [1]

[> His name makes me think that the show is meant to be a caricature of some sort -- tongue-in-cheek. Maybe something, 'good Christrians' might find humourously humbling. IMO, it still is a tad offensive for major network tv aimed at 'appealing' to large audiences. Nowadays many people may not be up for this 'humor' or may not 'get it'. There's too much religious tension in the world today not to mention horific tragedies occuring whereby our spirituality has become something very close and real -- not something to make fun about. I don't mean to sound self-righteous, it's how I feel. -- mj, 11:24:34 03/18/11 Fri [1]

[> [> I agree, I find the title offensive. Can't imagine Hollywood using that title with any other religion or ethnic group without a huge backlash/outrage. Plus, as a women that word is incredibly demeaning! I hope they change the name of the show. -- lisa, 12:06:28 03/18/11 Fri [1]

[> [> Here's another (possible) viewer offended, and I'm so easygoing that I'm pretty hard to offend. There are plenty of other plays on words possible -- why use something this crude? -- Deemus, 18:39:28 03/18/11 Fri [1]

[> Title is very offensive. It's demeaning to women and Christians. If you said that about any other race or religion there would be such a backlash!! I don't think I'll watch it. And I'm a tough person to offend. -- Cathy F., 17:58:28 03/19/11 Sat [1]

[> Can you imagine6'5" David with Kristen who is maybe 5'2? That seems an odd pairing. However, I like both of them, so it will be interesting to see if that heigth difference works. -- TQ, 18:49:29 03/21/11 Mon [1]

[> [> According to IMDb, Kristen is only 4'11". That's almost a foot and a half difference! -- Lee, 19:10:17 03/21/11 Mon [1]
