Oh, Blonde Charity Mafia, what will our summer be without you?

With all the talk about the “Real World” filming in Dupont and the “Real Housewives” series coming to D.C., you may have forgotten about the original D.C.-based reality series, “Blonde Charity Mafia.”  The show, which is supposed to be “The Hills” but focused on Late Night Shots (the Georgetown-centric private social network for aspiring/alcoholic future-trophy wives and young Republicans) members, was scheduled to run as a six-week series on the CW, starting July 7.

But word came yesterday that the premiere has been pushed back to a “later, unspecified date.” Yikes. Is that TV lingo for “No, you’re never going to get to see all the dramz at Smith Point”?

Well, maybe not, according to the Washington Post‘s Lisa De Moraes:

Word is Dawn Ostroff, CW programming chief, liked the six half-hours that have been ordered and knew that, in a summer run, the network could not really give the show the kind of marketing and support it merited.

So, instead of debuting July 7, as planned, “Blonde Charity Mafia” — or “BCM,” as it’s called in the halls of CW — is going to be held to run some time during the official broadcast TV season. It’s being held for “midseason,” which means any time after the start of the season, in mid-September.

Yes, that’s right, “BCM” just got a promotion — before it’s even aired.

Guess we’ll just have to wait a little longer to watch all those deep conversations at Dean & Deluca…
