Monday night was the premiere of VH1’s “Single Ladies”, the network’s first venture into scripted dramas. The series, co-created by Queen Latifah is about a three females played by LisaRaye McCoy, Stacey Dash and Charity Shea and their personal relationships and careers with the city of Atlanta as its backdrop. The show received chilly reviews from critics who spent more time comparing “Single Ladies” to “Sex & the City”. The romantic comedy takes place in the glitzy Buckhead area of Atlanta where many of the city’s most influential call home. But apart from the expensive cars, clothes and lavish shopping sprees, it gets an “A” for effort. It’s a nice drama with characters that people can relate to. “Single Ladies” has real potential to be more than an adult version of "90210". It’s definitely an alternative for those interested in escaping with a fresh drama during the summer TV season. I would say that it’s a mix of “Sex & the City” meets “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” but not too over the top. The first 2-hour episode establishes the close female friendship of Val (Dash), Keisha (McCoy) and April (Shea). Off the bat we see that Val and her guy were on shaky ground. A comment by Keisha’s boyfriend about marriage leaves the couple’s relationship going down in flames. We later find that she was his other woman as he’s already engaged to someone else.
Next April isn’t happy in her seemly perfect marriage. Frustrated at not being able to conceive with her husband, she has an affair with one of the most influential men in Atlanta. Her game of cat and mouse has the potential to blowup in her face. Then there is Keisha, the oldest of the women, she’s a video vixen that been on the Atlanta music scene for a while. In those years she’s made many mistakes, and now some of them are coming back to haunt her. One secret in particular threatens the relationship she's building with the successful Malcolm played by D.B. Woodside. “Single Ladies” airs Mondays at 9 P.M. on VH1, Atlanta Comcast channel 51/851 (Detroit CH:56 9pm) Check your local listings for specific channels and times!

I think that Single Ladies is an amazing show. Stacey Dash is always looking at the positive and Lisa Ray is a crazy DIVA! I love it! Charity Shea is a weird person and I'm hoping that her character picks up more. I'm happy my DISH co-worker told me about this show. I was able to catch up online from the DISHonline.com site. I'm excited to see more! http://bit.ly/dJzWgo
