Women on the Verge
Entertainment Weekly - September 3, 1999 Competition for mature female eyeballs is heating up faster than you can say "Finally, real women that viewers can relate to." Besides NBC's Providence, which shot out of the gate in
January, the networks have a slew of female-centric series waiting in the wings this fall, including CBS's Judging Amy, about a thirtysomething lawyer-turned-judge (Amy Brenneman) who moves back
in with mom (Tyne Daly) after leaving her husband. "People said, 'The network's not gonna go for it--there's no male epicenter,'" says NYPD Blue alumna Brenneman, who doubles as an exec
producer. "But I think [execs] are finally realizing there's an audience for shows where women do something other than function in relation to men."
