Iknow in discussions at ABC and CBS that too skinny is no good.
Theytalk about it as a minus point, says the agent.
But at The CW its adifferent story.
Theyre trying to pull in theGossip Girlaudience andthats the image: hyper-skinny models.
(The web connection declined tocomment for this article.)

And where on thetube are women of substance celebrated?

But, hey, at least somethings getting fed.
Are they too skinny?
Are there any shows outsideMad Menthat you think promote a healthy body image?
