(Gilmore Girls fan site)Here are some clips from the pilot of Amy Sherman-Palladino’s project, The Return of Jezebel James (still a working title, BTW), starring Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose. I found pieces of what I love of classic Gilmore Girls in this new show. I also know that between the clips, there’s a deep, involving storyline. It’s classic Amy Sherman-Palladino.
Fox has picked up the show for 13 episodes, to start next Spring. (Ugh.) The big question is whether it can pick up enough of an audience quickly enough for Fox not to cancel it before it even gets off the ground. It can’t pull a Gilmore Girls and discover most of its fans after the first few seasons. It has to do well within the first few episodes. Fox is famous for cancelling great shows before they got off the ground. But I guess at least I have plenty of time to pray before then…
But back to the news, EW.com also has an interview with Amy Sherman-Palladino about Jezebel James.

Ran across this on The TV Addict blog. It’s about The Return of Jezebel James. If you haven’t heard about it yet, Jezebel James is Team Palladino’s new project, a pilot for Fox for 2007. It’s a half-hour sitcom starring Parker Posie and Lauren Ambrose. And I also understand Scott Cohen (who played Max Medina in our beloved Gilmore Girls) has been signed on as the boyfriend.
In a blog post today, The TV Addict says:
If you are interested in attending a private run-thru of the show on Thursday, April 5th at Paramount Studios in the afternoon, email us at thereturnofjezebeljames@yahoo.com and we will give you the details and even pay for your parking. You must be 18 or older.
But if you think you might hate the Palladinos… What really got me to post about this today, as opposed to in the weekly “Gilmore Girls News” post, was a comment one disgruntled fan left: Click to continue »
