Blonde Charity Mafia was a reality television series produced by Patty Ivins and Julie Pizzi that followed the lives of three socialites whose lives revolved around charity events. It was scheduled to premiere in July 2009 on The CW, but the network decided to program the series as a midseason replacement for 2009–2010 instead, and later canceled it without airing an episode in America. It was, however, shown on MTV Australia and MTV New Zealand.[1][2]

[edit] Network and premiere date changes and cancellation
Blonde Charity Mafia was developed by the Lifetime network, and filmed in September 2008 on location in Washington, D.C.[3] After production was completed, Lifetime decided to sell the series to The CW rather than airing it.[4] The CW scheduled the series premiere for July 7th, 2009 at 9 p.m. Eastern/8 p.m. Central. However, the network later decided to forgo all new programming for that summer, and planned to broadcast the series in the winter as a midseason replacement.[5][6] Sometime after that, The CW apparently lost interest in the show; it removed references to the series from its websites, and on December 29th, officially confirmed that it would not air on the network.[7][8] Blonde Charity Mafia was apparently dropped in favor of two reality series developed by The CW, Fly Girls, about Virgin America flight attendants, and High Society, which followed socialite Tinsley Mortimer.[7] On May 20th, 2010, not long after completing their eight-episode runs, both of these series were canceled as well.
