I was in the mood for a romantic comedy, something to make me giggle and at the same time to make me feel. What I came out with was a bit less romance, a bit less comedy, but a whole lot of feeling. A Good Woman, starring Helen Hunt, based on Oscar Wilde’s play Lady […]

Henry Chamberlain wrote a recent article on Parker Posey and The Return of Jezebel James on ComicBookBin.com. Here’s a snippet:

Surfing channels and then to suddenly see Parker Posey on the tube doing her thing, all her masterful nervous movements, in some odd storyline that did not quickly make itself clear was very entertaining and welcomed. It was only after settling into the plot and discovering it was really just another sitcom, no more, no less, that I had to shrug and say, “Well, it’s still Parker Posey!” because that is really all that matters in the end in this sort of situation.

I just read Holly Lisle’s novel Night Echoes. I put up a quick video review of the book, which is below.

Yeah, I was afraid of this. The Futon Critic reports that Fox has officially canceled The Return of Jezebel James. This sucks, because I was truly looking forward to next next episode.  Click to continue »

Ugh. I had to mention this, because a Jezebel James fan actually was misled by this blurb on TV Guide. The blurb is not technically misleading or incorrect, but if you read it you may get the wrong idea. But I’ve researched the news from an independent source. Here’s the truth of the the situation…
The fan who emailed said that Canterbury’s Law was moving to Friday nights, in place of The Return of Jezebel James. This is not true. Jezebel James continues to run Friday nights at 8:30.  Click to continue »

Here’s another batch of fan reactions to the premier of The Return of Jezebel James. I’m running out of space, so I’m skipping some, and I may or may not post more. There are lots more…  Click to continue »

• Erich Eilenberger says, “I actually enjoyed it… I was pleasantly surprised.” And then goes on to say about critics, “I also think some of them just weren’t paying attention.”
• The TV Guy at TV Short and Sweet. says, “Yet again, here’s a great show with a great cast and yet I fear FOX has treated it unfairly.” (Emphasis in original.)
• sami57peace2u writes on LiveJournal, “I love Parker Posey, and…AS-P. No matter how many times she screws me over, I still like her writing style.” Okay, I resemble that comment about ’screws me over,” but I’m still glad Jezebel James worked.
  

The Boston Herald has a mini-profile of Scott Cohen (i.e., our Marcus Cole, Sarah’s boyfriend… if you can call that a boyfriend).
Meanwhile, Broadway.com published an article by Scott Cohen about Drunk Enough to Say I Love You?. Here’s a snippet:

In early December of last year I got a phone call from “the agency.” No, not the CIA, but the other agency that just so happens to bear the same nom de plume and just so happens to be involved in similar technique. Little did I know that the next few months would actually be fraught with feeling as if the former was really behind the wheel for this particular job. My representative at the aforementioned agency told me that the Public Theater wanted to see me. Need he say more? I think not.

Just a heads-up. Parker Posey, star of The Return of Jezebel James, will be appearing on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Wednesday night, March 19. That’s late, late at night. 12:35 AM at night… Or is that the following morning?
However you count it, the last time Parker was on, she was truly entertaining. I expect this to be a wonderful interview as well.
