    I made the mistake of watching this godawful thing and still have a bad taste in my mouth. It was a cleansing experience to read what the critics said.

    Loved the show! I just heard it's off air now. That's awful and really unbelieveable. I would much rather watch these women go through "real" issues than a fictional dysfunctional sitcom!!! It's like watching a lifetime movie...and I love those too!!

    Give me a break this was one of the worst shows I have ever seen. What a bunch of pathetic plastic women.

    I was expecting the worst and was surprised that i actually found it entertaining. I will watch again next week. What was that someone said about, "it's like watching a trainwreck" that's what it feels like.... painful but possibly addicting

    Show was not that bad. Better than the crap CBS has put out lately. Each of the women had an interesting situation they were living with...i know a lot of other women could to relate to something in each. Too bad it was canned so fast, it was getting quite interesting

    I enjoyed the show and think that other people will as well. Regardless of their social status, these women will appeal to people from different walks of life.

    A piece of Mr. Butters excrement. Unfortunately you won't find a diamond ring even if you used a power washer. I can't believe I withstood the pain of that hour.

    I watched this show because the critics said it was a great new show to watch. Well, they were wrong. This show is horrible. I found it really difficult to care about these women at all. Do not waste your time. I will not watch again. It's basically junk food for your soul. I feel sorry for these women. They should give away all their money and learn to be caring, down to earth human I watched this show because the critics said it was a great new show to watch. Well, they were wrong.

    Ugh! I used to be a stay-at-home mom, and I never even had time to complain about things like these women do! And as for Kirin--31??--I don't think so honey. They may be rich in money, but they are the most shallow, self-centered group of *itches to come down the pike in a long time! Shame on ALL of them. I will never watch again.

    Mediocre show to say the least. Hey! I didn't know it was reality. I thought it was scripted, and the newlywed woman......whatever her name is....she is such an -itch! She has a cute hotty for a hubby, so why would he stick around and put up with her attitude.

    Its okay, last night was better than the first episode. The "Den Mother" is really funny, just being mother earth to the kids. Sara has personality and a good sense of humor. She seems real to me.

    All I can say is, CBS has GOT to be kidding! What pure, unadulterated drivel. And I find it hard to believe it is not scripted.

    I really enjoyed this show. Even though these women are all differnet, I could relate to all of them, and I do believe that it is true, and not scripted! I hope that they will bring it back. If you get past the outside appearances and look at the real issues, you may find that you relate as well.

    Just found this site. Had to put my 2 cents in even though it's over. Too bad it's been cancelled ~I thought it was pretty good and was quite bummed it went off the air. I hope CBS reschedules it so we can all see how it went for the women. it sure is still getting a lot of chatter for a cancelled show.

    Awful.. so glad it's not going to be on anymore. I've lived in Scottsdale almost all my life, and they really gave the place a bad rap. This was the most unrealistic 'reality' show I've ever had the displeasure of watching.

    We still miss Tuesday Night Bookclub. The show was very addictive and interesting to watch. We were just talking about it again the other day. Loved the newlyweds and the woman with the animals. It was really a good show.

    This is THE WORST reality show because it's NOT a reality show at all. It's just a staged half-baked idea about people who have less brains and more money and time than they know what to do with. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

    This is the strangest show. I have the feeling that scenarios are scripted and then ad-libbed in the way that cheap porn movies are ... stopping short of the graphic sex. Yuk!

    I tuned in to this show only because I grew up in Phoenix and lived in Scottsdale for about 6 years after college...Wildy disappointed. I would have rated this show a 0 if it hadn't been for Mr. Butters!

    I love this show. I grew up in Scottsdale and it's spot on! It's kind of weird that it's on CBS though... as it feels like an ABC show. I'm counting the minutes to Tues. to see this show again.

    After watching for 10 min I couldn't take anymore and switched channels. Then I kept checking back to see if it was really as bad as I thought. Each time the answer was "Yes!".

    Book club? Please. These Scottsdale, Ariz., women don't read. They whine, they shop, and they obsess over the way they look. [16 Jun 2006, p.71]

    "Book Club" is one of those "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" series. You know, the kind that promote themselves as giving unvarnished looks into real-life issues facing women in a variety of situations but that mostly exist to exploit them.
