Say goodbye to your lawyer, fashion designer, and recently fired movie executive because NBC is pulling the plug on the most hyped show on its network – Lipstick Jungle. The Candice Bushnell inspired drama/comedy was supposed to be a highly rated spin-off to Sex and the City, but a writers strike and lousy rating put a stop to that in a hurry. This wasn’t a surprise and after they moved the show to the worst line-up location for a show ever – Friday nights- you knew the end was near. No ward if any filmed episodes will be aired or if they will just cut their losses. Look for the complete series on DVD for Christmas!
**************UPDATE*******************
NBC has announced they will complete th 13 episode oder for this season an will consider letting the show live on if it shows some growth in the final weeks. They aren’t making it easy with the show returning in 2 weeks and now on at 9PM instead of 10PMon Friday. I dont know why they didn’t leave it on Wednesday night when it has no competition.
Did you see it tonight? No way she is keeping that baby! Kirby was a bit of a tool though…I dind’t like that side of the character.

I couldn’t believe that Lipstick Jungle was going to get cancelled when I first heard about it. It was absolutely one of my favourite shows to watch and it really is unfortunate that NBC has take a show that had the potential to become one of the #1 shows on the network. I hope that it will come back on soon! Why else would I be on here if I didn’t care for the show I wouldn’t search to find out where it went…..
Wow what a brilliant show, it has everything! Having watched both series back to back, I wanted to see when the next series was, but hey its been cancelled. I can’t believe it. Please bring it back, it was so refreshing to see a show that was about professional women trying to suceed in a mans world… we want to see Victory and Joes’s wedding, will Nico and Kirby get back together? how was the tour for Shane, and will Wendy suceed in producing her own films… they are so many story lines!
I also love LJ, I keep checking the t.v listings in case i miss the preview, to see if it is on. Not sure if it is being moved to a new day and time. There is nothing good on anymore, You gotta give people a chance to toon in. So many new shows started at the same time, as new ones that were on for ten years were ending. I know if you give it another go more and more people will watch.
I love this show,i even had my timer set to record it every week cause i cudnt bare to miss it. big mistake to cancel it..HUGE!its so in the same league as Sex & the City an every female on earth can relate to it.dum producers at NBC.Im irish by the way and people in Ireland and England love it!!
PLEASE do not cancel the show!!! It is fabulous and it is to bad that you would want to get rid of something really good as there is so much crap on tv and really nothing to watch. LIPSTICK JUNGLE is great and I look forward to seeing new episodes!!!
I hope this comment helps…b/c I absolutely LOVE this show. I just started to get into it and then I heard it was being cancelled.
SO SAD! Please give it another season to redeem itself in ratings. I swear I know so many people who say they love it too.ONE MORE SEASON…..ONE MORE SEASON!
I love this show. Pleaes do NOt cancel it. People are just starting to get into it….it will take off…there is an audience.
I LOVE LIPSTICK JUNGLE !!!
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? LIPSTICK JUNGLE IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV. THE ENTIRE CAST IS WONDERFUL, THE STORY LINES KEPT ME INTERESTED FROM WEEK TO WEEK. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, I WATCHED IT EVERY WEEK. IF YOU CANCEL THIS SHOW, I KNOW YOUR STATION WILL LOOSE MANY VIEWERS, DEFINATELY ME. PLEASE. PLEASE RE-CONSIDER YOUR DECISION. THERE IS NOT MANY GOOD TV SHOW TO WATCH, WE VIEWERS NEED LIPSTICK JUNGLE, IT’S ONE OF THE BEST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
Look at the line up of show’s that are called hits, and then look at the people watching them. They don’t have to be on NBC on all he networks. Show’s like Lipstick Jungle show Class, Business sense, Relationship
up’s and down’s, and a good look at working upper middle class America.
Oh and let’s not forget Intellectual, Maybe that’s why it wont make it!
LEAVE LIPSTICK JUNGLE ALONE, GO PICK ON ONE OF YOUR
OTHER SHOWS THAT YOU CALL HITS THAT NO ONE IS WATCHING!
How is that you can take a great show like this off the air and put Jay Leno on every night.
Please do not cancel lipstick jungle there are sooo many shows out there that are creap and your wanting to cancel the good tv show are you mad? PLEASE dont cancel it its such a good tv show SOOO much better than sex and the city.
please do not cancel LJ, its fab, we love it all the acors, script, New York, and the fashion, there are 17 nurses in my dept, and we are hooked, can’t wait till see whats happening on Monday, with the gals and their men, i’m in the UK so we are a few episodes behind, (I think),
Please Please Please don’t cancel it, theres no decent programmes left if that goes off screen.
Please do not cancel this show, it has the best writing and the actors are all so great together. I have enjoyed this show better than any other show in a very long time. I can’t stand to miss a minute of it.
is nbc nuts!?!? howie do it is on, but LJ is off…makes no sense…
please don’t do it. I love that show…… Give it one more chance…
Best show on TV..speaks to my generation (25 year olds) as much as the women’s actual peer group. It’s fantastic, don’t cancel!
please do not cancel this show. it is exciting and funny. i have always been a huge desperate housewives fan, but like lipstick jungle better.
please do not cancel. thank you.
If you cancel Lipstick Jungle I hope some other channel has the good sense to pick it up!
Geez…what is wrong with you people?
DO NOT CANCEL LIPSTICK JUNGLE!! THE SHOW IS GREAT
Why do the TV networks cancel all the shows that are good just because the young people don’t watch. I would bet the majority of your viewers are really the older adults not the young yuppies who are always out partying. Lipstick Jungle is an entertaining show. Leave it alone. Get rid of the reality shows where people make fools of themselves and teach the young people how to be shallow, violent, etc.
I can not believe how stupid this is, as I LOVE almost all the actors…..Like who would NOT!!! I really looked forward to watching LIPSTICK JUNGLE every week. Please do not CANCEL this show. Just make it more apparent as to when you want to have it on though. Do not leave us hanging as I want to see what happens next – are they really going to get married at last.
I watch very little television, and discovered Lipstick Jungle accidentally this past weekend. I came across the pilot and was completely HOOKED by the end of it. I watched the entire first season, until 4:30 am, and couldn’t wait to continue – thinking that I would be able to find season 2 on hulu… Does anyone know when season 2 will be available (either on DVD or to download)? I am suffering L.J. withdrawl! I truly hope the show is not cancelled!
LIPSTICK JUNGLE IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK. I ALSO AGREE THAT YOU LEAVE ON THE JUNK AND TAKE AWAY SHOWS LIKE THIS AND FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS……BRING BACK THE QUALITY AND GET RID OF THE JUNK
Please don’t cancel our show it is so good! Love the hot drama of it all way to good to cancel!
Seriously…how can you cancel LJ??? There is NO OTHER SHOW on TV that I enjoy more! I love the style of the ladies….I love their attitudes…..I just love everything about this show…..I will not watch NBC anymore if they cancel LJ….I just refuse to support NBC when they leave on crap like Kath & Kim and that stupid Earl show…I just don’t get it!?!?!?! Someone – please explain the rationale to me!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL LIPSTICK JUNGLE!!! It is the only show I look forward to watching every week….I don’t care what night you put it on….I will watch it. I am so addicted! NBC….if you have a heart, you will leave LJ alone!!
Please don’t cancel LJ I love it and it has some real life events. I guess people want the happily ever after shows and ones that don’t make sense.
omfg i cant believe that your canceling lipstick jumgle you people are sick thats the best show on nbc and u decide to cancel it wow
I hope NBC does not cancel this show. I LOVE Lipstick Jungle. All of my friends love this show and get together and watch it. Please don’t
cancel.
I really hope NBC does not cancel Lipstick Jungle. This is one of the best shows on syndicated television right now. The writing is great and the acting is excellent. NBC needs to give it some time to draw more of an audience. Leave it in one spot so people know when it’s on and the audience will grow.
You know, this is the very first time i have actually written anything online (i mean ive never “blogged” or written compliants about products…etc…and im youngish). But, when you feel for something..at some point in your life, no matter how trivial it may seem to most, you have to SAY something..So, I’m saying: this show hits the heart and alot of topics, but even more, it highlights human interactions that are very relatable to people. Im not writing this comment thinking I will have some huge impact..but at least a voice thats saying..dont cancel…people love this. and they watch online (which means maybe they dont get good numbers on tv).. but its clearly popluar and worth continuing,
eventhough i dont live in US (i’m from malaysia), but i still watch it online. i’ve never been so committed to watch any shows except for lipstick jungle. and if NBC wants to cancel it, i will be very disappointed. i became so obsessed about the only show i’ve ever watched and now you’re taking it away from me. please don’t be so cruel! think about it, someday and somehow it will attract lots of people. and who knows? lipstick jungle could be a huge phenomena like ‘sex and the city’. i can’t wait to see what will happen to victory and joe since they are definitely the cutest couple i’ve ever watched in any TV shows. despite andrew mccarthy is one of my favourite actors. so please, DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!
You are completely missing the boat…Nothing on NBC to watch except Jay Leno and ER….Looserville I am going to boycott if you cancel this
Lipstick Jungle is an excellent show, If you cancel it, I will boycot NBC. It’s a great show. Cancelling it would be a huge mistake.
Lipstick Jungle is the only show I watch on NBC besides ER (which is over after this year). Everyone I know watches this and have had a bad reaction to news of it being cancelled. You are missing the boat. To add insult to injury, it was moved around two (2) TIMES, in the graveyard night, Friday.
Please do not cancel Lipstick Jungle. Have you not read the posts from this site and from other sites. Just google and see. People are outraged and rightly so. It is a great show and I look forward to it each week. Even though you changed the time slot – did not matter to me – still will watch it. That why they make DVRs. Anyway, sorry NBC but you do not have any shows I watch but this one. At least keep the ones that are worth anything.
Don’t Cancel Lipstick Jungle!!!!!! It is the best show ever (after sex and the city) and it keeps getting better!
PLEASE! are you kidding me? I am one of your DVR watchers….I don’t watch ANY live TV! If something doesnt tape I pull it up online….who calculates ratios from live only veiwers anymore? Why would you canx such a smart and sexy show? This is finally a GREAT show for women and fun to watch for men! My husband and I watch this show together…..You, NBC are dooming it by changing it around so much! why couldn’t you just leave it where it was on Wednesday nights?!!!! The Cast of stars is incredible…..please rethink your decision and give it a solid chance…there are plenty of other shows that are not near the caliber of writing, star quality and acting this show has that you could canx…
This happens every season….a good show gets canx before it really has a chance….I am going to stop watching NBC at all…get your act together.
I am so sad they are canceling lipstick jungle! this is my absolute favorite show if I were to only watch one show ever it would be this one. it makes me want to cry… please leave it on air!!!
Please don’t take Lipstick Jungle off the network. I love this show, I love the characters… The writing is brilliant and unique. You people have viewers out there. This makes no sense. There are so many other shows that don’t deserve the ratings they are achieving. Lipstick Jungle is perfect for middle age women out there who have careers and love lives and want to relate. Please, please don’t take this show off the air.
I forgot, if its true that the ratings are down because people are watching on DVR then they shouldn’t have moved the show to Friday. People are busy on the weekends and this show is so worthy of a weekday primetime slot. Get a grip NBC!!!
It would truly be a mistake to cancel Lipstick Jungle. I appreciate the stories the writers create as well as the acting. Such a nice mix of stories. We are just now getting hooked please don’t cancel. NBC needs this show TRUST ME!!!!
DO NOT CANCEL MY FAVORITE SHOW LIPSTICK JUNGLE
DONT CANCEL!!!… amazing show.. i pvr it every week!… i heard that there is a problem when you pvr it it doesnt count as a rating or something!…. THAT IS SO STUPID!!!
If they would quit moving the night and time around there would be no problem. They leave all the crime shows on and take off anything that a smart, sophisticated woman would watch.
So actually where do we go to protest this cancellation. It is absoutly riduculous that they would cancel this. Should we bombard NBC!!
I agree with many on here. Cancel crap like Earl and the Office – I never watch either one of those. However, Lipstick Jungle I look forward to each episode. I do DVR the show most times as I work evenings. Please, please don’t cancel my favorite show on television. My husband is right there with me. He says even though it’s a chick thing he is all caught up in it and enjoys watching it. Keep LJ on the air.
DON’T CANCEL Lipstuck Jungle…it’s one of the best shows on TV. It’s got pizazz and the right amount of everything…love, life, design, family – you name it!
Don’t take the show off the air! It’s one of the few good shows left that has some depth and quality. This is pretty much the only thing I regularly watch apart from the Food Network.
Please don’t take off Lipstick Jungle, please remove Earl or The Office but leave the Jungle on it is the best show on TV. Come on I mean get real. Open your eyes you have the best show and if it isn’t broke don’t try to fix it. Leave it on the air PLeaseeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
Sinead –
NBC did state in an article that the ratings, when DVR tapings were counted, were showing growth…..so you never know. LJ is a hell of a lot better than another Law and Order series
Okay – so we know the ratings have been low – but they are based on live hits and most of us are DVRing it. If we want to keep it on we are going to have to watch it Live to bring up the ratings…let’s do it ladies.
I loved watching LJ on wed. but I followed it to fri. I never watch tv on fri! So if you can get this girl to watch a show on a friday night you should keep it on. I agree with everyone else about my name is earl. I would get rid of that and some others before even thinking about LJ.
Please don’t take Lipstick Jungle off the air. I have been talking to lot’s of people and they are very upset about the show being cancelled. I love this show!!!! I will be very dissapointed in NBC.
PLEEEEEASE don’t cance this show. My friends and I all look forward to our Friday get-to-gethers just to watch this show. We all love it. I think it is way better than SAC! With the state of the economy right now none of us can afford to go out on Friay nights and this is the one thing we can all do together.
LP is the only show that I watch. I rarely find any show that I’m willing to commit an hour to. I would be very upset if it was cancelled, and like others have stated I will probably not come back to NBC.
If NBC cancels Lipstick Jungle…they will make a huge MISTAKE!!! I think they could kiss viewers like me goodbye…bc i wont tune in to their stupid channel…HA!
please dont cancel this great show!!!
I think the show should stay on the air.. It is just getting started. I love to watch it and I agree with Penny.. I think the Office is one of the dumbest shows on right now.. It looks like a home made documentary. Keep Lipstick Jungle on!! I figured taking Friends off was the last dumb thing this Network would do
I am so tired of you all canceling shows I like. I just get into it and you cancel it. You have three really good actresses and just need a better storyline for each one. Find a new writier, Get creative and take the really stupid shows off. Earl, the office. Please reconsider, you are making a mistake on this one. The peons of the world need something wonderful and glamorous to drool over. Thank you
Please keep this show!! The reality shows have taken over, that are stupid! I love LIPSTICK Jungle….. I will quit watching NBC to protest this!!!!!
PLEASE do not cancel!! you are making a huge costly mistake! thirty somethings cant afford to go out on friday evenings like we used to.This cast is infectious! People will want more! After putting my four babies & husband to bed I want to have a glass of wine, relax & watch Lipstick jungle!!!! especially when I am no longer getting dressed up & going out!!! Reconsider I know you wont regret it!!
Please do not cancel Lipstick Jungle. It is a great show to watch. NBC juggles there shows around so much til they can never find a true following!!!! It’s a very enjoyable show to watch. Please reconsider cancelling it.
PLEASE don’t cancel! I looooooooooooove this show!
PLEASE don’t take Lipstick Jungle off the air!!! My girlfriends and I look forward to it every week, even though it’s now on Friday nights. Why is it that every time there’s a good series on NBC, it gets cancelled, but you keep stupid crap on like Earl and The Office? I don’t get it. How about doing something intelligent for a change, NBC? Give it a better time slot and give it a chance!!
Don’t worry! They’re not canceling Lipstick Jungle! They were going to because of weak ratings but they decided to wait a while because last Friday’s ratings were really high!
Also, Nico is not a lawyer. She’s the Editor-In-Chief at Bonfire magazine.
PLEASE! do not cancel this show! its my favorite and just starting watching it this season. Im so bent over this
Please don’t cancel the show, this is the best show on your line up and on tv right now. Put it back on Wednesday nights where it belongs, my coworkers look forward every week to watching and discussing it, we love the storyline for all the characters, fashon. Everyweek we recruit a new co-worker to watch and they end up loving it.LEAVE THIS SHOW ALONE WE WILL KEEP WATCHING IT.
I can’t believe that you are cancelling the show! This is a huge mistake and a lot of fans will be very disappointed!!! I agree with the previous comment, you are noly leaving crappy shows on!
DO NOT CANCEL LIPSTICK JUNGLE, YOU ALL TAKE OFF THE GOOD SHOWS AND LEAVE THE CRAPPY ONE’S ON, LIKE THE OFFICE AND MY NAME IS EARL, TAKE THOSE STUPID ONE’S OFF INSTEAD, NBC IS GOING TO HECK IN A HAND BASKET.
