If you’ve found yourself without a plan on this Labor Day Weekend, there’s a new way to keep yourself busy online.
Earlier this week, viewers of the old WB were given a free way to watch some of their now-cancelled shows. At TheWB.com, fans can access programs just like they would on any other network-sponsored site. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville, Angel, Everwood, Roswell, One Tree Hill and Gilmore Girls are amongst the selections offered.
Meanwhile, other shows that didn’t originate on the WB (but were produced by Warner Bros.) are also included on the site. That list is comprised of such titles as Friends, The O.C., Veronica Mars, Babylon 5 and Firefly.
Although the number of episodes are currently limited, fresh hours will be posted weekly.

Episode Order Cut for ‘Jezebel James’
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, FOX
It’s never a good sign when the number of episodes ordered for a series gets cut. I’d think it’s a bit of doom and gloom when the show hasn’t even aired yet, but hey, at least the network is still giving it a chance. Albeit a much smaller chance. I’m talking about The Return of Jezebel James, the new sitcom starring Parker Posey. I love Posey—if you’re not familiar with her, check her out in Waiting for Guffman or Best in Show. She’s quirky and adorable and shies away from the mainstream (mostly). So, when I heard she’d be starring in a sitcom I immediately thought she was selling out a bit. No? The Fox comedy was set to run 13 episodes, but the network has trimmed the order to just seven. Is that bad news for the new series? We’ll have to wait and see, I suppose. The premise—Posey is a book editor who asks her sister (played by Lauren Ambrose) to be a surrogate since she’s unable to conceive. According to Fox, “We have always planned to launch The Return of Jezebel James in midseason, and seven episodes are all we need to allow us to program the series through the current broadcast season.” There you have it. Midseason replacement equals a short order. The show was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who also created Gilmore Girls.

Lauren Graham Sounds off on Gilmore Decision
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Cancellations, Ratings
Despite the recent news that Gilmore Girls has been cancelled, star Lauren Graham seems somewhat relieved with the decision. With a hit to the ratings and a hectic schedule, Graham is happy to see the show end. “I think it’s the best decision for the show,” Graham said. “One of the things Alexis (Bledel) and I wished could be different was the schedule, and it really can’t be.” Single mom, Lorelai (Graham) and daughter Rory (Bledel) have been drawing viewers for seven seasons, but last year creator Amy Sherman-Palladino jumped ship and the show seemed to lose its momentum for some viewers. Get it while you can. The final Gilmore Girls will air on May 15th. Graham can next be seen opposite Steve Carell in Evan Almighty. I’m sure this is not the last we’ve seen of her.

Gilmore Future Doesn’t Look Good
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Cancellations, News
Though rumor suggested that the CW, Warner Bros., and the Gilmore Girls would come to terms on a shortened eighth season of the hit show, sources are now saying talks have stopped completely. Insiders say that actresses Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel – the Gilmore Girls themselves – have not signed off on the offers proposed to each of them. Though the monetary amounts proposed were “very good,” neither actress has accepted a final amount. So far, it’s anyone’s guess whether the show will actually return or not…creating lots of speculation around the season (series?) finale scheduled for May 15, 2007.

May’s Big Sendoffs
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, The CW, American Idol, Desperate Housewives, King of Queens, The Bachelor, The CW, Cancellations, Gossip, Renewals
It’s May, and that can only mean one thing: finales. The official TV season is ending so that summer’s reality programming can begin, but all the hot shows are determined to go out with a bang. Which show will have the most surprising finale of all? Which shows will only be coming back in re-runs? How will they all say good-bye? There’s only one way to find out – but you don’t have to watch them all.
After nine hilarious seasons, The King of Queens cast will say their final good-byes on Monday, May 14 at 9pm ET. The CBS show will get a big send-off to cap off its almost decade-long run, giving fans that chance to laugh at Kevin James and Jerry Stiller one last time. The dramatic hour-long finale will have plenty of tears but lots of laughter, too. Insiders say the show will have a happy ending. The real tragedy behind King of Queens going off the air is that Jerry Stiller will no longer have a sitcom gig – and that man is hysterical.

Parker Posey Signs on for Comedy
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, My Name Is Earl
One of my favorites, Parker Posey, will be joining a Fox comedy pilot. Anyone familiar with this Indie queen knows that she’s a fantastic presence, and the pilot comes from Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of Gilmore Girls. Together, that makes a pretty solid pedigree. The show, titled The Return of Jezebel James, stars Parker as a children’s book editor. The comedy comes into play when this newly single character asks her estranged sister to carry the baby that she can’t conceive. Well, I guess it could be funny. Did you see My Name is Earl last week? Kinda the same premise going on. Sherman-Palladino and her husband sent Posey the script for The Return of Jezebel James, despite her history of turning down other pilots. “I can’t believe it’s happening,” Sherman-Palladino said. “Because it’s a comedy, the character runs the gamut of emotions from laughing to flipping out to breaking your heart in 22 minutes, and only one in a zillion people has enough skill and charm to pull that off. Parker Posey is that person.” Isn’t that the truth? Anyone who’s seen her roles in Waiting for Guffman or Best in Show is well aware of her talent.
