What's funny is that this show was supposed to be the all-Black answer to "Sex and the City". It quickly became a force to be reckoned with all on its own. The four lead actresses Tracee Ellis Ross (Joan), Golden Brooks (Maya), Persia White (Lynn), and Jill Marie Jones (Toni) are great all throughout. They're sexy, stylish, intelligent, ambitious, educated...and flawed. And it's the flaws in each of their characters, portrayed so wonderfully through smart and witty writing, that sets this show apart from its "competition". Issues that are unique to the African-American experience give this show a layer that blends well with the comedy and inevitable drama.
Another tidbit: unlike the girls from SATC, we see where these women have gotten their education and are able to afford their lifestyles, extravagant and otherwise. We see them go through economical highs and lows, and career changes--very realistic. SATC, on the other hand, not so much. How DOES Carrie Bradshaw manage to have several pairs of Manolo Blahnik shoes? Own an apartment on, I believe, the East side of Manhattan? All by writing a weekly newspaper column? Gimme a break! Is that part of the reason she was so attached to John Preston, going as far to refer to him as "Mr. Big"? I'm just saying...
Unfortunately, this show "jumped the shark" after the 6th season, when Jill Marie Jones departed from the series. Like any ensemble, the show lost a bit of its heart when she left. The character of Toni and her entire story arc was crucial to the show, and Jones was beautiful and charismatic. As the viewer, I felt her absence and missed her on screen. Season 7 was passable, and should have ended at that point. Season 8 was kind of hollow--even more so as the season was shortened due to the 2008 Writer's Strike, and subsequently cancelled.
All in all, I do not regret this purchase. It will forever be one of my favorite series, and I'm glad that I can watch it at a drop of a hat. On another personal note, this show was a lifesaver during Hurricane Sandy. We were blessed to not have any damages and no power outages, save for our cable. For an entire month, "Girlfriends" and my books were my sole sources of entertainment. Made for some pretty good memories with my mom.
Tracee had quickly built an impressive resume hosting Lifetime's "The Dish" to MTV's "Lyricist Lounge". These weren't ratings busting series....but, did offer Ross a center stage profile on series that were often monitored by Hollywood agents and talent agencies. She had roles in a couple of indie movies, but, it was most likely the exposure on both MTV and Lifetime, along with a rather famous entertainment last name.
All of the ladies on this series were gorgeous though insecurity ruled the ruse as they tried to make sense of why they were often left perplexed as to why they had much to worry about.
"Girlfriends" was blatantly ignored by the Hollywood elite industry, therefore, they had no presence on the Emmys for instance. However, the series was often nominated (and won) the Image Award for itself and its leading lady, Miss Tracee Ellis Ross!
