[QUOTE="tommie, post: 383085, member: 370"] Sort of the 90s I guess, but I've finally started watching The $treet aka Darren Star's 2000 soap that flopped horribly. Unfortunately, the first episode is very much "teehee, look at what we can get away with on network television" and comes across as a bit of a Sex and the City: Male Version set on Wall Street. The second episode is a bit better so far, but you can see why it failed, because well, male sexuality hasn't ever been that taboo so it's not a great hook to sell a show. I'll be interested to see if the show changes direction once Jennie Garth enters (but by then it would've been way too late either way since it was an out of the gate flop). I also don't think [I]stock broker [/I]really works as a sort of an aspirational career. Doctor? Yes. Journalist? Yes. Hell, even advertising exec works due to the creative factor. But stock broker that stares into the screens and talks on the phone all day? No, I mean, I'm sure there are people who want to become a day trader, but nobody [I]aspires [/I]to it. [/QUOTE]
