I saw this news release about a new sitcom – about divorce(!) that will appear on the Lifetime channel this Fall and thought, “I should share this with my readers.” …. I suspect that the show will deal with many of the challenges women face after divorce, but presented in a ‘tongue-in-cheek’ format this time. We all know the pain following divorce; giving us something to smile about in these trying times might be ‘just what the doctor ordered’. Send me your comments after you’ve seen the show or shows; let’s talk about it.
Sherri Shepherd’s new Lifetime sitcom, “Sherri,” will premiere Oct. 5. Shepherd will star in “Sherri” as a freshly divorced mom and part-time comedian/actress who re-enters the dating scene. “It’s what Lifetime is all about – friendships between women and how you overcome problems,” Shepherd told The Post yesterday. “It’s based on my standup act . . . and I like that they’re not trying to change my age and make me 22. “I’m a grown woman [on the show] with grown-women girlfriends going through grown-women stuff, trying to navigate my way back into dating and a job and trying to raise my son myself.” Shepherd will also use the launch of “Sherri” to promote her new book, “Permission Slips: Every Woman’s Guide to Giving Yourself a Break” – released the same day as the “Sherri” premiere. “It’s about women giving ourselves permission to be OK – that we might not know everything in the world,” Shepherd says. “We put so much pressure on ourselves in taking care of our families and trying to be perfect while we’re falling apart inside.”
