(Gilmore Girls fan site)If you haven’t been following The Return of Jezebel James site, JezebelJames.info, we’re counting down to the one-hour (double-episode) premiere. I’ve been linking to lots of great articles about Parker Posey, Lauren Ambrose, Amy Sherman-Palladino, and more.
I am so looking forward to the first episode on Friday, March 14!

New Year’s is about change. It’s about looking back on the past year and making a better life in the new one. Gilmore Girls tells us much about entering the new year, but you have to read between the lines. Here are just some of the things Gilmore Girls teaches us about New Year’s resolutions: Click to continue »
Today was one of those days I felt like watching some Gilmore Girls. Yeah, I’ve been watching all kinds of stuff that’s not GG. You know what they say: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And today was one of those fond exceptions.
I’ve been going through my Netflix queue, unfortunately filling it up again as soon as I empty it. It’s a “live-lock” problem. Or as Lorelai might put it: Did you know that if the entire population of China walked by, the line would never end because of the rate of population increase? That’s my Netflix queue.

Having any Tofurkey today? Even if you’re not having 4 Thanksgiving dinners, wherever you are today, I hope you find love and happiness there.
Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s called Ticket to Ride. And it’s a coming-of-age comedy about a college grad, Ryden Malby (Alexis Bledel), who is forced to move back into her childhood home with her eccentric family while she attempts to find a job, a guy, and a direction for her life. The film will being shooting next month (in December), and I expect it in theaters sometime in 2009.
In the meantime, I’m looking forward The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants II, to be released August 8, 2008.

Just a quick link to a post on my writing blog, about my take on the Writers Guild of America strike, and how valuable writers are to a TV show.
Even though the biggest part of this post is about Gilmore Girls, I almost didn’t link to it here. Because I make some pretty disparaging comments regarding fans in general, and Gilmore Girls fans in particular, of which I am one.
Please remember that I am a writer, and that Amy Sherman-Palladino (in spirit) taught me everything I know. (Almost everything, anyhow.) I am fiercely dedicated to her work, and sometimes react like a creative personality when even GG fans disparage her… which some GG fans have done.

On the one hand, the first season of Amy Sherman-Palladino’s new show The Return of Jezebel James has been cut back from 13 episodes to only 7. On the other, she’s writing and directing a film adaptation of Amy Cohen’s The Late Bloomer’s Revolution for HBO Films. Click here for more.

You can download episodes of Aliens in America, the new show starring Scott Patterson as a materialistic suburbanite father, from iTunes. Just click on the following button:
The show airs Monday nights at 8:30 PM Eastern, and I’ve seen the first two episodes. My one-line review: A show about a teenage boy, his superficial family, and an exchange student from Pakistan. Addressing through caricature real issues many of us would rather ignore, it sometimes feels like an after-school special (i.e., juvenile, not witty).
And after the first two episodes, we still know practically nothing about Scott’s character, probably because there’s nothing there. Don’t know if I’ll be sticking with this.

M.C. Valada told her brief story of meeting Rose Abdoo at the What’s My Line Live on Stage charity event, and posted a photo. Rose not only played Gypsy on Gilmore Girls; she also appears on Amy Sherman-Palladino’s new show The Return of Jezbel James.
