The Rules for Starting Over: From the hilarious, often jaw-dropping minds of the Farrelly Brothers comes a series about recently single friends forced to begin anew in their thirties. Whether divorced once or three times, all friends find themselves in the same boat: a boat that wants to get remarried. All members of the group, sans one, are male. The sole female is a 30-year-old lawyer who represented all three men during their divorces. She's never been married, but found herself dumped after being engaged for seven long years. Actually premiering after fall, in Spring 2008, the premise of The Rules for Starting Over sounds fairly tame, yet, with the Farrelly boys in tow, chances are it will be anything but.
The Return of Jezebel James: A series about estranged, dissimilar sisters who are brought together in motherhood, The Return of Jezebel James, Wednesdays at 8:30 on FOX, features Parker Posey as Sarah Thomkins, a strong, determined, and intelligent women with a career as a children's book editor. Despite a life filled with success, a brown-nosing assistant, and a casual love affair, she find her life lacking something: a child. She decides to have a baby then she learns she can't. Enter Lauren Ambrose as Coco, Sarah's younger, eccentric, free-spirited sister. After weighing her options, Sarah asks Coco if she will carry her baby. Though Coco initially refuses, the realization that Sarah has turned Coco's imaginary childhood friend, Jezebel James, into a book helps her change her mind. It seems to me that most siblings would reply to a surrogate request such as this with the heartfelt, sisterly question: "What will you give me?"

I'm looking forward to 'The Return of Jezebel James', although I hope they ditch the laugh track. It gets in the way of Amy Sherman-Palladino's fabulous dialogue!
