Last Sunday evening as I watched the Academy Awards, I saw the first teaser for “GCB.” As the naughty teasers continued throughout the broadcast, my interest was piqued. I Twittered, “What does GCB mean?”

I mused, “Could it possibly be that a television series is coming on that could replace the hole in my heart left by the iconic show ‘LOST?’”

The answers to my query were numerous and divided, especially on Facebook. Half of the respondents said “Good Christian Belles” and half said “Good Christian Bitches.”

One gave me a link that provided the real story. The show is based on Kim Gatlin’s book, “Good Christian Bitches.” The Darren Star-created dramedy revolves around Amanda Vaughn (Bibb), a recently widowed mother of two who moves back to the affluent Dallas community of Hillside Park where she grew up. Upon her return, Amanda quickly finds herself at odds with the town’s gossipy, church-going, designer-clad women all determined to get revenge on Amanda for the cruel deeds she exacted upon them as the alpha mean girl in high school.

Some say the show is meant to replace ABC’s “Desperate Housewives.”

If so, it has some work to do.

High Points:

—Annie Potts:  She was saintly as a Texas grandmother with just enough religion not to allow her grandson to have Internet because of porn yet teaching him how to mix martinis.

— The line of the night: As the aforementioned grandson looked at a church sign containing the words “You Shall Reap What You Sow”, he asked, “Mom, what does that mean? She replied, ‘Oh, son, that’s just Texan for Karma.’”

—The public prayers at church: How many times have YOU heard gossip or judgement disguised in the form of a prayer or prayer request?

—The stat: Dallas has the highest number of churches per capita, but it also has the highest number of strip clubs per capita.

—The honesty: For a group that live by the ten commandments, the religious community could certainly use a little more of the blatant honesty that was center stage the entire show.

—The sex: Hey, I wrote a book about the plot.

Low Points:

—The acting: With the exception of Annie Potts, at times it reminded me of the church dramas I’ve seen. Amateurish and forced.

—The preaching: At times, the dialogue seemed to do exactly what they accused the church of doing. Note to writers: A little clever innuendo never hurt nobody.

—The music: I was expecting the choir to bust out with Kristin Chenoweth of “Glee” fame, so the warbly rendition of “Blest Be the Tie” was doubly disappointing.

Still, it’s a new show and they deserve time to get their act (and music) together. I’ll certainly watch a few more episodes. It’s a fun guilty pleasure. But…LOST it ain’t.
