Hot Nude Ladies!
I just wanted to pass along a little TV recommendation for Sunday night.
Some of you know Christen Sussin (formerly Nelson) some don't.
Well, she, along with her friend Carrie Aizley, have created the show Campus Ladies which is going to debut on the Oxygen Network on Sunday, January 8, at 10pm. In addition to creating the show, X-10 and Carrie are also the stars.
The not middle-aged ladies play a couple of middle-aged ladies who decide to go to college after one is widowed and the other finds her husband cheating. It may sound a bit like two women doing the Rodney Dangerfield "Back to School" schtick, but it's more than that.
I saw this back when it was just a presentation at the Groundlings and I've seen an episode or two of the finished show and it's really good. Don't let the fact that it's on Oxygen scare you away. Guys... it's not going to lower your testosterone level to watch Oxygen for thirty minutes a week.
Handling the executive producer duties along with X-10 and Carrie is Cheryl Hines of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm.
X-10 and Carrie are alumni of The Groundlings Theatre which has spawned loads of talent over the years, including SNL cast members Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Lisa Kudrow, Cheri Oteri, Julia Sweeny, Will Forte, Chris Parnell, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer as well as stars of other TV shows and movies like Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers), Jennifer Coolidge (Joey, Legally Blonde), Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Kathy Griffin (Suddenly Susan, The D List), Michael McDonald (Mad TV), Phil LaMarr (Mad TV, Pulp Fiction & voices on Futurama and Samurai Jack).
Campus Ladies has been getting lots of good press:
Los Angeles Times
New York Times
Hollywood Reporter
TVGuide interview with Cheryl Hines
If you don't get Oxygen or live outside the U.S. you can catch a stream of the first episode at AOL.com.
There are also lots of clips and outtakes on the Oxygen site.
...and the direct link to the Campus Ladies area of Oxygen.com
So, check out the show. Let me know what you think or even better, let the people at Oxygen know what you think: feedback@oxygen.com
