The Cancellation of ‘Jezebel James’
Oh, thank you for putting me out of my misery!
Fox has wisely and quickly axed the mind-bogglingly bad new sitcom The Return of Jezebel James, brought to the television-watching world by much-loved Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.
This development, which is effective immediately, will have two consequences. First, four of the seven produced episodes of the series will mercifully not air. Second, the same pretty much goes for the repeats of ‘Til Death that began coming on before the series at 8pm EST.
Actually, both outcomes are good news for fans of the excellent forensic procedural Bones, though, since that show will now return to the 8pm–9pm time slot on Fridays, where it had been in repeats prior to Jezebel’s debut.
I’m not a Gilmore groupie, but I sincerely hope Jezebel was just a one-time glitch in Sherman-Palladino’s TV career. And, to be clear — the canned laugh track had not a thing to do with Jezebel’s lousiness. It was the writing and execution of said writing, folks. If you don’t believe it, watch with closed captioning enabled and the sound turned down or off, and the show still reeks.
But, wait — you can’t do that anymore. Great!
