Lush Life is an American television sitcom that aired between September and November 1996 on Fox. The series stars Karyn Parsons and Lori Petty as roommates who share a studio apartment for financial reasons.[1][2]
Petty stars as Georgette "George" Sanders, a wild, uninhibited bohemian artist. Parsons plays Margot Hines, a snooty, airheaded wanna-be businesswoman. The two get into conflicts generally surrounding one of their crazy schemes. In one aired episode, George fakes her own death to draw attention and higher prices to her paintings. In another, Margot convinces some of George's gay male friends to pose as her boyfriends to frighten off her ex-husband.
Cancellation
The ratings of the first episode were low, and it was canceled after the fourth episode aired at the end of September 1996. It was the first new series of 1996 to be canceled. The remaining three produced episodes were aired later in October and November.
