(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!

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.

… in the Return of Jezebel James trailer. Or rather, it’s Rose Abdoo playing a pregnant woman.
Sarah: How did you get it that way?
Pregnant Woman: I forgot to put my diaphragm in.

Amy Sherman-Palladino’s new TV show The Return of Jezebel James won’t be premiering on Fox until next spring. Even so, I’ve decided to launch the first Jezebel James news and fan site, JezebelJames.info.
In the months leading up to the premier, I’ll keep tuned into Jezebel James news, and I’ll also be looking at other work by Parker Posey, Lauren Ambrose, Scott Cohen, Michael Arden, and the rest of the cast… Including a little Gilmore Girls.

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.

Celine Dion? Oh, please. Don’t make me do that. Yeah, I know, “My Heart Will Go On” was Chin Chin’s favorite song. But how about “Tears in Heaven.” That’s a wicked song. Or “I Will Always Love You.” I mean, it’s got the cheese factor, but it’s still at least a legitimate—
In the beginning, the story goes, there was Amy Sherman-Palladino. And she was in a room with a bunch of TV executives. And she had 4 idea pitches planned out. And she pitched her ideas, and the executives’ eyes glazed over and they kept glancing at their watches and it was almost lunchtime. And Amy became desperate, because she knew none of her ideas had captured the interest of the TV executives. Click to continue »
Gossip Communications News posted sides from The Return of Jezebel James. These are bits of the script used for readings or shooting. Anyhow, I read it, and here’s what I can tell you so far about Amy Sherman-Palladino’s new project: Click to continue »
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 »
