When earlier this week, we got about twelve IM’s all lamenting the cancellation of Lipstick Jungle, we thought, “Who watches Lipstick Jungle?”
Lots of you, it turns out. So grieve not: The Times reports today that rumors of the show’s end were entirely premature, and that so many viewers tuned in last Friday via their TiVo’s (which was not counted the first time around) that the network executives have decided to definitely finish out the series based on Candace Bushnell‘s novel, and may even order up another season for next year.
Lessons to be learned here: Many viewers do not watch television on real time anymore (a lesson we thought everyone learned from Gossip Girl), and people actually do have control over what’s offered to them as entertainment.
So the next time we complain about reality TV invading the fashion world, we’ll know to just shut it, because we’re really the ones egging it on anyway by tuning in.

Lipstick Jungle is actually one of the best shows on television. Its better than SATC – the fashion is realistic, the problems are easy to relate to as are the women.
Thank god! I love the Lipstick Jungle – the acting and storylines are great, and the fashion inspiring.
I like the show, and I was going to be disappointed if it was I think the acting is great although I still don’t really like the Welches Grape Juice girl who plays Victory Ford. However nothing says we have no faith in a show when it is moved from the first 4 days of the week to Friday!
Aughh!, I was actually happy it was cancelled. The acting is so bad the characters are always so “fake” surprised by what happens to them.
Yay! I love the show and was really upset when I thought they were canceling. It really is a good show, one of the few I still watch. They should move it back to Thursdays, though.

I like Lipstick Jungle. I always DVR it- hardly ever watch anything in real time.
Lipstick Jungle is totally a DVR saturday morning guilty pleasure. Plus I’d rather watch them worry about their careers and how their power affects their relationships then one of the SATC characters whine about “funky spunk.”
GOOD! I was so upset when I heard about this. I thought that they counted the people who watch the episodes online in the ratings. I really like this show (it’s a guilty pleasure) and the fashion in it. Yes, it’s a little cheesy, but don’t we all need a little kitsch in our lives? The answer is yes.
I honestly tried to like the show… for some reason it just didn’t strike a chord with me.
So many of you do seem to love it though, maybe I should check it out again…
same same
i love this show too
i dont have any time to watch TV when it’s actually on, and having to sit through commercials?! ugh
it is sad how they have to rely on ratings to determine whether people are watching it or not

I have to admit I hated the first season but I gave the show another chance this season and it’s actually decent. I agree with the other comments on how the show can be cheesy at times but it is definitely a guilty pleasure. Perhaps that’s why the show isn’t cancelled— everyone is secretly watching it but no one is admitting it.
Lipstick jungle is a fantastic show! I was skeptical about watching it at first, but it’s really great.
AWWWWWW. I was SO JAZZED when they cancelled that one-dimensional shallow piece of shit. Next time.
