Members Sylph Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Exclusive: Fox Cuts Short Sherman-Palladino's ReturnThat was quick. Fox has closed the book on Amy Sherman-Palladino's post-Gilmore Girls comeback vehicle, The Return of Jezebel James, after three abysmally rated outings. A Fox spokesperson confirms that the comedy starring Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose as unlikely sisters has aired its last episode.OK, time for some Monday afternoon quarterbacking: Who deserves the blame here? AS-P? Fox for burying it on Friday night? The person in charge of integrating that horrible laugh track? Posey for failing to be, well, Lauren Graham? Post your theories below.http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TV...p-Fox/800036118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 The writing showed potential, the acting was over the top and the laugh track SUCKED. But here's what I don't understand: we're still in the post-strike lull, why didn't FOX just play out the episodes they had taped? It would be one thing if there were fresh eps of House, Terminator or Prison Break ready to go but does the world really need another "Moment of Truth?" Forget it, I know the answer: Fox sucks.

Members Matt P. Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 This show wasn't funny at all! The only thing it had going for it was the amazing cast: Parker Posey, Lauren Ambrose, Diane Wiest. Even those powerhouse performers couldn't make this "witty" piece, laughable.

Members Sylph Posted March 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 The premise sucked. With a bad premise, there's nothing you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted March 20, 2009 Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hold up! I never even realized the show was ever on to begin with! And it's already been cancelled? Oh, I can't believe it, ASP released a bad show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2009 It was... Horrible! Awful. Thank God it was cancelled. Amy should stay away from sitcoms and instead write dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Wow, I'm shocked. I thought she did good in the humor department. But, yes, she should go back to creating another drama. Now, why did you tell me that?! I won't be able to resist and I'll go check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 I don't know, Amy was a producer during some very creative and humourous seasons of Roseanne, my favourite seasons of that sitcom were typically ones that she was invovled in. But of course, Roseanne Barr ruled that sitcom with an iron fist. I never got the big deal about Gilmore Girls to tell you the truth. I thought it got very old fast. I haven't seen a single episode of Jezebel, so I can't comment on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Precisely because of Gilmore Girls. The shows trademarks were precisely the things that annoyed me: that "witty", fast dialogue and the whole half-comedy feel. Had she focused on drama, it would've been much better. And she could've done that, only if she wanted... Jezebel was just... Nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
