TV Tonight: The Return of Jezebel James
It hurts me so much to write this post, because the fact is, The Return of Jezebel James should be my new favorite TV show. It stars Parker Posey, one of my favorite actresses of all time, alongside Lauren Ambrose, who absolutely stole my heart as Claire Fisher on Six Feet Under. It has an intriguing plot: The sister who has her life together (Posey) can't have children, so she asks her screwed-up younger sister (Ambrose) to carry a child for her.
Reading Is Fun With Parker And Lauren!
Two of my favourite actresses – Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose – are starring in an upcoming series called The Return Of Jezebel James, which premieres in the US this week. I'm really hoping I love it, however Buzz isn't too sure about the pilot. Anyhow, Parker and Lauren (you'll know her from Six Feet Under) hosted storytime at a New York City library yesterday and read to the children that attended.

Pilot Watch: "The Return of Jezebel James"
The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. Note that a lot can change before a show actually makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
Diggers: A Quietly Charming Slice of Life
Diggers is less like a movie than a moment, a few minutes of poking your head into someone else's life. It's a small, quiet movie where nothing much happens, but its subtle charms make it worth a look — especially because it's already available on DVD.
Diggers focuses on a ragtag group of of clam diggers growing up on Long Island in 1976.
Movie Preview: Diggers
We all know about my deep affection for Paul Rudd, "The State," and most things "Six Feet Under"-related. So I am loving the trailer for Diggers, a drama that a) focuses on a character played by Paul Rudd, b) was produced by David Wain and written by Ken Marino, both from "The State," and c) stars "Six Feet Under"'s sassy redhead Lauren Ambrose. Count me in!
