Question: Has there been any news from Amy Sherman-Palladino about the Gilmore Girls TV-movie?
Answer: No, but here's something fun: One of my Broadway spies spotted Team Palladino in the audience at Xanadu last Saturday night. Amy and Dan apparently loved the show so much that they bid $300 for a Xanadu teddy bear at a charity auction immediately following the performance — and they didn't even take the prize! And before you ask, yes, Amy was wearing one of her ginormous Dr. Seuss hats.

Question: So now that AS-P's new show is kaput, what do you think are the odds she'll start getting serious about a Gilmore Girls movie?
Answer: Your guess is as good as mine. For the record, my guess is in the neighborhood of 40-1. I imagine Team P has a fair amount of wound-licking to do before they dive back into TV.

Two years after signing off the airwaves, the WB is returning with new programming — as well as some of its most memorable series — but not on TV. According to an article in the Hollywood Reporter, the Warner Bros. Television Group is reviving the network as a website, where viewers will be able to watch free streaming episodes of Gilmore Girls, What I Like About You and Everwood, as well as all other WB-produced shows. (The site's "working title," wb.com, currently jumps to a general Warner Bros. Studios roundup of movies, TV, DVDs, etc.)The WB, which merged with UPN in 2006 to become the bastion of twentysomething programming that is the CW, aired a string of fan-favorite shows in its 10-year existence, including Dawson's Creek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. It's not clear yet whether non-Warner Bros. shows will be available on the site, but new Web-minisodes are reportedly in the works, with series aimed at the WB's core audience.Warner Bros. hasn't confirmed the ...

The Return of Jezebel James by Michael Lavine/FOX
Fox has announced that the American Idol results show will be expanded to a full hour as of March 12, a bit sooner than planned. As a result, Gilmore girl Amy Sherman-Palladino's The Return of Jezebel James no longer will "sneak preview" in the choice apres-Idol slot. Instead, JJ will debut with back-to-back episodes on Friday, March 14, at 8 pm/ET. Friday at 8, yeah. No happy Return there.

Question: Can you please explain to me why viewers feel the need for interesting characters to immediately get together? Sometimes we know that they will come together eventually (like Gilmore Girls' Luke and Lorelai), but it's all about the journey. As soon as a new cast member appears, people immediately scream for him/her to hook up with a favorite regular. Why don't we just enjoy interesting characters by themselves? And if we must force them into couplehood, can we at least wait two or three episodes before screaming for instant satisfaction?
Answer: What a well-timed question under the circumstances. When it comes to plotting out relationship arcs, it really does feel at times like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Bring characters together too quickly and you may have robbed the viewer of investing enough stakes in the relationship. Sustain the tension too long and you risk boring and frustrating them, especially in the current viral climate of overzealous fan site ...
