This quality is attributed to Park Slope by Sue Kramer, who is writing a script for a Sex and the City style hour-long drama set in that neighborhood. Hey, I like shows with pizzazz (attractive fashionable upwardly mobile white people)! Wow, I thought only the Manhattan had pizzazz (attractive fashionable upwardly mobile white people.)
In the New York Post article about the story, Craig Hammerman, district manager of the neighborhood Community Board, comments "Hopefully, it will go far in combating the negative stereotypes people have about Brooklyn." What people does he mean, and exactly what stereotypes does he imagine they project? Is he talking about the national ones in which some people might still perceive Brooklyn as a threatening urban environment a la Escape from New York?
Or is he talking about our local stereotypes featuring hyper-controlling ultra PC parents and stroller mafia types? No way anyone's going to make a show about this neighborhood without including some reference to those meddling Park Slope specters. Or perhaps self-righteous narcisstic types. It wouldn't be a story without them! And of course, it has to feature a writer or two.
If they make this show, there is no way I could miss it. Because I love pizzazz. Really, it's all I ever hope for in a show. Who needs pathos and human struggle?
