Just a reminder, "The Return of Jezebel James", starring Parker Posey and written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, is being offered up for sacrifice to the cancellation gods by Fox this Friday at 8:00.

Parker Posey AND Lauren Ambrose!

I think Jezebel James was doomed months ago when they cut the order from 13 to 7. Plus I have not heard good things about its quality.

Posey doesn't seem as comfortable with AS-P's dialog as Lauren Graham was. Plus the timing is getting thrown all out of whack, because they had to put in pauses for the freaking laugh track.

I wanted to like it, but the laugh track really sucked the life out of it. And Parker Posey seemed like she was trying to play Lauren Graham and failing. I always love Lauren Ambrose, though. Also, I think they might have changed the setting,because they kept refering to her apartment as a house.

Hmm, I completely forgot this was on . . . perhaps I don't need to feel any regret.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It was a real house in the pilot and a big 2-story apartment set in the next episode. Looked nothing alike except the initial absence of couch.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think I fell asleep

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I've no idea where to put this. According to somebody on Whedonesque, Neil Patrick Harris starts shooting a musical called 'DR. HORRIBLE’S SING-A-LONG BLOG' today. With Joss Whedon.

No!

That's great if true.
