About The Return of Jezebel James
The Return of Jezebel James is an upcoming half-hour comedy series starring Parker Posey (the queen of indie film) and Lauren Ambrose (who played Claire on Six Feet Under). The series comes from the mind of Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.
She and her husband Dan Palladino created the TV series Gilmore Girls and turned it into a world-wide phenomenon. But after Gilmore Girls finished its sixth season, negotiations broke down between the Palladinos and Warner Brothers. And Team Palladino left the series, which was never afterward the same.
But out of every death comes new life. The Return of Jezebel James, Amy Sherman-Palladino's latest creation, premiers Friday, March 14, on Fox.
What's The Return of Jezebel James About?
But there's still something missing from her life. She is alone. So realizing that she's not getting any younger, she decides it's time for her to have a baby. Only there's one problem. She is diagnosed with Asherman's Syndrome, a disease that prevents her from conceiving.
At first, Sarah doesn't want to admit that she can't get pregnant. All the other options, such as adoption, are unacceptable to her. But that shouldn't matter. After all, there's nothing she hasn't been able to accomplish once she put her mind to it. But this one is beyond her abilities.
Crushed and brokenhearted, she notices a book she's been editing. It's a book about Jezebel James, a character from her youth. You see, Jezebel James was her younger sister Coco's childhood imaginary friend. Whenever Coco did something that got her into trouble, she'd say, "It wasn't me. It was Jezebel James."
Sarah gets an idea. She meets with Coco (Lauren Ambrose) and asks her to be surrogate mother to Sarah's baby... Or at least that was the plan. That plan kind of gets foiled by the fact that Sarah and Coco do not get along. They are bitter antagonists. And almost before the words are out of Sarah's mouth, she realizes it was probably a stupid idea. But she's desperate.
And as it turns out, maybe there's hope after all...

- Great lens. Keep writing and keep up the hard work. Well, if you get time or have an interest, I've written an Ohio Mortgage information lens. It contains information on Ohio Mortgage Rates, Ohio VA Loans, Ohio FHA Loans, Ohio Home Equity Loans, Ohio Refinance, Ohio Debt Consolidation and pretty much all other Ohio Real Estate Mortgages. I know this may be a boring subject, but it can be very useful to those who may be in the market here in Ohio.
