The Return of Jezebel James Reviews: SO bad.  2008-05-26 - I give this 2 stars simply for Parker Posey's presence here. Although she did a horrible job in this short lived series...its still her! And I adore her.
I was SO excited about this show months before it aired. I've been a long time fan of Parker Posey, I love almost everything shes ever been in. So you can imagine how disappointed I was in this show. I also LOVED Gilmore Girls so I was also VERY disappointed in Amy Sherman Palladino. She should have never left Gilmore, maybe it'd still be on the air.
In the end, I don't know what happened to the writing or the actors which, in my opinion, are all so good in other things...but this show was one of the hugest disappointments ever. In every aspect. Looking back now at the previews and TV spots...they were very short. Almost no jokes. Its almost like they knew they had nothing so they had nothing to put out there in order to reel in the viewers.
It wasn't funny at all and it was almost painful to watch. I'm shocked it got even 3 episodes on the air with all the old, unimaginative, stale jokes. NONE of it worked.
If this ever does get a DVD release, I doubt anyone will buy it...except maybe the one 5 star reviewer above me.
Once again,,,  2008-04-09 - This is another show that is to smart for TV and those viewers who keep Celebreality on VH1 going and going and going and going have led FOX to rip it from the prime time line up. I have always adored Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose and only Joss Weadon is a smarter dialog writer than Amy Sherman-Pallidino and while Fox ordered 13 episodes and only let three run! This show was a rarity of spunk, brains and charm and I can only hope that Fox will at least release the remaining episodes on DVD sooner rather then never!!! Please check out this darling and help me remind FOX that the TV viewing world isn't full of Moment of Truth morons!!
