Am I seeing double?

Below are 2 TV shows that came out early 2008 about saucy women in NYC. You can read the plot excerpts I copied from Wikipedia. They are so similar to each other that one might think hollywood is running out of story lines. Both even have an asian girl. And worse, both shows are trying to copy the successful plot formula that "Sex and the City" had. I wonder which show will be a hit. Perhaps both, perhaps neither.


Cashmere Mafia follows the lives of four ambitious women, who've been longtime best friends since their days at business school, as they try to balance their glamorous and demanding careers with their complex personal lives by creating their own "boys' club" (The Cashmere Mafia) to protect each other and discuss their personal ups and downs as they try to have it all in New York City.

This new enticing comedy-drama "Lipstick Jungle" follows three high-powered friends as they weather the ups and downs of lives lived at the top of their game. Nico, editor-in-chief of a hot fashion magazine, has her eye on becoming CEO. Movie exec Wendy does everything she can to balance career and family. And free-spirited designer Victory longs to make her dreams come true, and maybe find Mr. Right along the way. Armed with humor and strength, these three modern New York women support one another through the triumphs and tears that are all part of making it big in The Big Apple.
