High Society - Kinda like an American version of Absolutely Fabulous Starring Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell

High Society WAS a show. The year was 1995, and women all over
New York City were winning publishing companies in divorce
settlements. Such was the case with Dorothy "Dott" Emerson,
played by Mary McDonnell. She published the trashy yet highly
successful romance novels penned by her best friend Ellie Walker,
played by Jean Smart. The show is pretty much just about the
daily comings and goings of Dott and Ellie as they live it up as
outrageously as possible amongst New York’s high society scene.
What did Elizabeth Taylor have to do with all of it, and what
exactly was Liz Night on CBS?! Brynn, Aaron and Barry put on
their best black tie and jewellery, pop some champagne, and try
to figure out why this show didn’t get invited to any more
parties. Plus, tune in to find out what they mean when they say
that this show has major BWD energy!
