(Gilmore Girls fan site)I didn’t announce it on this blog, because I’m not ready to hold my breath yet. In the wake of Gilmore Girls being cancelled, Amy Sherman-Palladino (who originally created the show) said that she hopes to do a 2-hour TV movie with her version of the GG ending… “in a year or two.”
The thing is, a lot can happen in a year or two. Many fans were ecstatic about this movie. I’ll jump up from my seat in excitement as soon as they announce the production schedule… in a year or two.
Which leads me to the latest news. You may know Kristin, of the column “Watch with Kristin,” on E! Online. For example, she was the one who orchestrated the “Save One Show” campaign, which Gilmore Girls won, with Veronica Mars. But I’m not going to talk about that, because I don’t want to stir up bad blood.
Yesterday, Kristin posted Lauren Graham’s response to the TV-movie question. And she pretty much echoed my thoughts on the matter: Click to continue »
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.

Quietly revealed at the MTV upfronts in April, Amy Sherman-Palladino is working on Worst Day of My Life, a show inspired by fans who have written to her about their low points.
This is apparently the project she had been referring to in an interview with Entertainment Weekly last April, when she commented, “We’re talking to MTV about doing a show with [producer] RJ Cutler — not a reality show, something else, a great idea. We’re meeting with MTV this week to see about that, in fact.”
In fact, this show is one in a list of shows that are part of MTV’s new web strategy. And it sounds like a project Logan Huntzberger would sign onto. Click to continue »
After the Columbia Daily Spectator posted an article about Gilmore Girls rumored eighth season return, which includes comments from David Rosenthal and David Grae, one of the writers—
After this article, Diana, the TV Dork from Media Obsessed, tore into the Davids. Diana derides the two Davids for blaming the Palladinos for their own bad writing early this season. And she’s right.

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 »
