Diversions: October 2007 Archives
Here's my story in today's Daily News, about all the mommy TV shows in development:
Suddenly, moms are hot.
And not just the size-zero, sex-goddess moms stereotyped to perfection in shows such as "Desperate Housewives" and "The O.C." Now, real-life mothers are being wooed by television producers and marketers.
TV execs see big potential in daytime programs such as "The View" and reality shows pitting hypercompetitive alpha moms against one another.
"Do you expect the best for yourself and demand the same for your kids?" a casting call sent out by NBC Universal last month asks.

Barbara Correa writes about work and family for the Los Angeles Daily News.
