Yippyyyy !! That's such a great news !!!
From tvguide : "We're one step closer to getting another weekly TV date with
Gilmore Girls' Lauren Graham. (Pause for cheers. And... we're back.) Though we were under the
impression NBC was developing a comedy for the actress,
Variety reports that
ABC has greenlit production on an untitled half-hour pilot in which Graham will play "a self-help guru
who teaches women how to live a stress-free life -- but struggles to follow her own advice when her boyfriend dumps her." The show, which features
Will & Grace's Alex
Herschlag and Arrested Development's Mitchell Hurwitz among its exec producers, sounds promising, right? I know we can't let our
Gilmore love lead us blindly into TiVo
season passes (see:
Amy Sherman-Palladino's ill-fated
The Return of Jezebel James), but this set-up could give us Lauren the way we like her: smart, supportive,
sarcastic, self-deprecating, slightly neurotic, seriously funny, and above all, at the center of the story. In movies, she's been "the wife." On stage, she'll be "the girlfriend." (She's expected
to make her Broadway debut as Miss Adelaide in a spring revival of
Guys and Dolls.) But on TV, she'll always be "the star." Make her self-help guru a fast-talking pop-culture connoisseur,
and it's my favorite show." Are you in?"
I personnally am sooo in !!! Well, I'll wait and see what the finished product looks like but as a fan of Gilmore Girls and Lauren Graham, I will definitly give it a try !!
For those who haven't seen Gilmore Girls, it's a really cute, funny, witty, fast-talking show full of references and fun music !! And for those who don't know Lauren, check her out on youtube
on talk shows like ellen degeneres or jay leno for example : she's hillarious (check out her skit a while ago on her imaginary date with George Clooney for Valentine's day : seriously couldn't stop
laughing !) !!! So, although she's great in drama, she would be perfect for that kind of comedy ! Now, it could also end up failing like The Ex-List so let's not rejoyce too much just yet
!! But let me just say : welcome back Lauren : we've missed you !! (well, at least I have !!).
