    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!!

    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.

    this show is almost as exciting as having sex in a car accident. I tried to look away, because I knew this hour of my life is prescious and I might want it back some day, but I could not. I loved the girls nuevo riche trailer park additudes almost as much as I loved the fact that they have no idea they are way more anna nicole than nicole kidman.

    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.

    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.

    The high quality production seem to be throwing veiwers off in buying into these women being real.

    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.

    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.

    One of the more awful projects to hit CBS prime time in years.
