WTF-TV
Posted on February 28, 2012
I keep seeing promos on TV for a new show called “GCB.”
What happened to giving a show a title that gives you at least some clue about what you are going to watch?
Besides being a terrible and awkward title for a show, “GCB” apparently stands for “Good Christian Bitches,” a much more interesting title that ABC thought was too extreme.
But, is “Good Christian Bitch” so common a term that it has a familiar acronym?
That’s the kind of phrase that southern gay men of a certain age would toss around and lap up like their toy poodles would a mint julep. I have lived in the South all my life and never heard anyone use it.
So who really knows what “GCB” means?
IBM has been around since the 50′s and although everybody knows it’s computers and stuff, I think a lot don’t know exactly what the letters stand for.
For all the info you get from the title, “GCB” could just as easily be called “CWW” (Catty White Women).
Every time I hear “GCB” I think of “HGH” (Human Growth Hormone), and figure its a show about people with “BDD” (Body Dysmorphic Disorder).
If folks aren’t able to figure out what to expect, I’m thinking “GCB” will be “GBS” (Gone By Summer.)
hmm you never got that blow job did you
IBM = International Business Machines
I’ve been wondering what the fuck that show was too
Genuinely Crappy Broadcast
So that is what it stands for! If i understand the commercials, it sounds like it is in TX. Is this perhaps a “christian” version of Dynasty, Dallas and all of those other catfighting show about rich women?
My mind did also go to the growth hormone and other chemical sounding combinations of letters
Did you ever take a stab at what the SHP was in David SHP?
I only watch movies and reality TV.
The show is based on a successful book by the same title. It was slated to be named “Good Christian Belles” to give it a “safe for TV” title but last minute it was switched to GCB. It’s set in Dallas (bible belt) and based on white southern evangelical suburbanites, essentially making fun of them and exaggerating that character-type. Sort of Suburgatory meets Desperate Housewives. Aren’t there more “Hollywood-type” gays out there reading this who should know the backstory?
