New Show Alert! : GCB




Every Sunday I have been watching this new show (which is now my favorite guilty pleasure show) called GCB (Good Christian Belles). I find it to be a southern-fried and funny, delicious dramedy (drama/comedy) that is quickly filling my Sunday evenings. I am OBSESSED.

  • What it's about: Leslie Bibb plays Amanda, a recently-widowed woman who has to move back to her hometown for a fresh start. Unfortunately for her, the girls she knew in high school have grown into vindictive women who haven't forgotten how nasty Amanda was back then. After Amanda's philandering husband accidentally drives off a cliff, she moves herself and her kids to Dallas and into the home of her feisty mother (Annie Potts). As she tries to settle in, she faces off with Carlene (Kristin Chenoweth) the current queen of mean in Dallas and her entourage of religious but catty minions who want to see Amanda brought down.
  • Why it works:  It’s a southern spitfire of a show. GCB has the perfect amount of sugar, spice and sassy in it. I find the cast to be perfection, the women are each such fun and bold characters; like Kristin Chenoweth . The tiny little Broadway belter is larger than life in GCB as the completely made-over, venomously vengeful instigator of the anti-Amanda campaign. (I love how in the south an insult does not count if you end it with "bless your heart".)
  • When it's on: Sundays at 10 p.m. on ABC
  • You might like this show if: You're a fan of  Steel Magnolias , Desperate Housewives, Dallas, or Designing Women
