^ I have a feeling if this flops in the ratings we will see another show just like it soon as ABC attempts to fill the DH void.

Watched this with my wife tonight who was excited for this. We both agreed that it was shit. Don't see it going very far. Luckily I half read a magazine so I don't feel I completely wasted an hour.

Uh-oh ...... this was not fun ....... I'll give it another week or two (a Chenoweth fan) but don't think this is a grabber.

No doubt a perfectly accurate description of Christians in the South with all their hypocrisies.
Trying to decide if I want to continue watching or just too mad at how right they got the region/religion and therefore too pissed off to continue watching it.

Well I like a campy trashy show so I thought this pilot was great.. It's cast really, really well and it's a pretty big cast of characters too so lots of room for a range of story lines..
I like Kristin Chenoweth character's commitment to be nosy that she was willing to climb up a step ladder to use a telescope that seemed to be three times bigger then her..
I also like Leslie Bibb just owning up to where she worked right away to turn the tables on the other women trying to use it against her..
I'm in for a few more eps at least..

I live in Dallas and see and hear crap like this all day. Don't want to watch it on TV.
Me and the Gf are watching Lost. Her first time. Better time spent.

Apparently this was originally conceived as a cable show called "Good Christian Bitches" then rewritten for Network TV and a lot of sex and language was removed then the title changed to "Good Christian Belles". So I don't see this doing very well because of it being on a network, and a Disney owned network.

Just caught my DVR. Doubt I will make this part of my regular viewing schedule. Leslie Bibb looked too much like she could be her kids' older sister as opposed to their mother. I am guessing they put make-up on Chenoweth to make her appear more plastic, as they made a point of her "work being done." Also, how come the characters' accents keep slipping in and out ? I know from Talledega Nights Bibb is capable of a decent one, but it seemed like she couldn't make up her mind on whether or not to use it for this show.

) and also mentioned it on talk shows. She gave no real reason for the change to "GCB" other than they couldn't use "Belles". After what Penguin Joe said, I can now understand why they didn't want to use "Belle".
