We haven't heard much about ...

Question: We haven't heard much about the show Related, which I believe is coming this fall to WB. Anyway, from the look of the preview that I saw, the show looked kind Gilmore Girls-ish cute. Am I wrong? I read a bad review of the pilot, but this critic didn't seem to like anything worth watching on television. Do you have an opinion on the show? Is it worth trying out?
Answer: The reason you haven't heard much about Related yet is there isn't much to tell. I don't currently have an opinion about it, because the pilot was heavily reshot when one of the four actresses who play sisters in the show was recast (Laura San Giacomo out, Kiely Sanchez in). To my knowledge, critics haven't been able to screen a complete episode yet. What you read may have been a critical reaction to the presentation at upfronts or to the general concept. But I'm going to reserve judgment on this one until it gets several weeks into the run, because Friends cocreator Marta Kauffman joined the show post-pilot, and I'll wait to see what stamp she puts on it. Honestly, even as a Gilmore Girls fan, I'm not exactly tingling with anticipation over this one.
