action

Stephanie Wells is offered a position as editor-in-chief of a low-circulation lifestyle magazine called Communiqué in Manhattan , where she moves with her husband, Mark, an unsuccessful writer.

Allen Rush, the owner of the magazine, demands after the relocation stress, an increase in sales and the kicking of his stepdaughter Carrie, who works there as an editor. Stephanie recruits fashion editor Rachel Dennis from British Vogue to upgrade the magazine a bit, but without realizing that she and Carrie know each other and are friends. Carrie is now trying to take revenge on Stephanie and approaches her husband Mark.

History of origin

The series named after Avenue Central Park West was invented by Darren Star , the creator of many successful series such as Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place .

After leaving Melrose Place as a television writer in 1995, he designed a new series concept without Aaron Spelling and relocated the location on the east coast of America, to Manhattan on Central Park. Central Park West was born and filming began in the spring of 1995.

The US broadcaster CBS immediately ordered 13 episodes for prime time and felt confirmed when the pilot episode became the most watched program of the day. But already with the third episode, the audience dropped tremendously and CBS pulled the emergency brake after nine episodes. Nevertheless, they stuck to the series and ordered eight more episodes. The episodes 10-13 were not broadcast on CBS at all and they did not return until June 1996 with the remaining episodes, a changed cast and the new short title CPW on the air. But this time, too, the series flopped and CBS discontinued it after the 21st episode.

Nominations

Although the series was discontinued after 21 episodes because audience interest was limited, it was twice nominated for an Emmy Award in 1996.
