The WB's Related isn't just another Sex and the City knockoff about four sexy, sassy ladies trying to make their way in Manhattan. It's also the story of a seasoned, sassy TV producer who, supported only by untold millions of Friends dollars, bravely got back into the game to learn what she's capable of on her own:

Not long into her tenure on "Related," Ms. Kauffman deemed the chemistry of the Sorelli clan off kilter and had a name cast member, Laura San Giacomo, replaced by a relative newcomer, Ms. Sanchez, a move that meant that 80 percent of the pilot had to be reshot. When asked if she found making pivotal decisions difficult with no David Crane as a sounding board, Ms. Kauffman shook her head. "Look, I adore David and know one day I'll work with him again," she said, "but I worked with a partner for 27 years and had no idea of what I was capable of on my own. It's time I knew. That part has actually been kind of thrilling. Between menopause, turning 50 and this, I feel like I'm finally stepping into my adulthood. This is a really important part of my growing up, in a way."

We were right there with her, picturing Kauffman triumphantly tossing her hat into the air, the Mary Tyler Moore of late-blossoming Friends gazillionaires...right up until that menopause bit. Mary Richards never would've overshared like that, even if she was delighted not to be working on Joey.
