Hi to all Lipstick Jungle fans out there.
Was traveling on business and was going to watch the episode I missed (business dinner again) but found a better way to do it. Had a hotel room with a great flatscreen tv and discovered that they carry Lipstick Jungle episodes. If you ever see those systems with movies available, just hit that "menu" button on the remote and look for "Just Missed TV." They carry the most recent episodes just hours after you miss the live network feed.
Much better viewing it on a large tv than a tiny computer screen, doesn't cost much and absolutely NO commercials. WOW! Very nice.
Happy working fan!

Due to legal restrictions, (on Canada's party mostly), you cannot view streaming video, deleted scenes, etc. from the US.
