Not quite a kissoff for 'Lipstick Jungle'

Fans of NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" might want to continue to look around for another Friday night date.

Because while Angela Bromstad, NBC's new entertainment president, insists the Brooke Shields dramedy hasn't been canceled, its future doesn't feel exactly bright, either.

That's because while Bromstad herself thinks "Lipstick's" a "quality show," she also thinks "it wasn't broad enough in the ratings."

Earlier, she'd told a roomful of reporters that she and her NBC colleagues "feel very strongly about 'Life,' 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Lipstick Jungle,'” but that that doesn’t mean they’re not looking for new shows that might do better ratings.

"Lights," which returns to NBC tonight -- 9 p.m., Channel 10 -- only got a third season because of a deal with DirecTV, which aired all 13 episodes on its 101 Network, where the season finale aired Wednesday.

Asked if a similar deal might help "Lipstick Jungle," Bromstad indicated that it might, and hinted that there are "different companies that are interested in that show."

Meanwhile,  NBC yesterday announced it had already picked up "The Office," "30 Rock" and "The Biggest Loser" for next year and added three episodes to the final season of "ER."
