    I very much look forward Lauren uvdíme retrieve it on TV. I also know it will introduce the feature of a good comedy with Jennifer Aniston …

    At long last Lauren Graham gets a worthy platform for her talent. Absolutely awsome actress has never been bad in any tv of film production. Hopefully good pay cheque as well. A step forward but I still wish she would get a comedic lead in a big Hollywood film.

    I read somewhere that it should be starting next March but others bet on early 2010.
    The production will start mid-November. Maybe we’ll know more from there.

    Whoop!!!! I’m o excited

    What is the likelihood that this will come to the UK?

    Being over here makes it impossible to see anything that LG is in these days. Half of the films don’t get released over here :( and I really wanted to see guys and dolls but of course that was impossible :(

    I’m hoping for the best, maybe LG will return to TV sets over here as well some day!

    Jecoup you are right. Emmy awards should have been given all around.

    Even classified as a comedy, it was very dramatic.

    Emmy for L.G.’s leading outstanding everything!

    Emmy for A.B.’s overly expressive eyes!

    It will be great to see LG on a weekly basis again. Looks like a high quality production.

    Best wishes to Maura.
