Fox Finishes Up Upfronts Week! Yay!
Fox rounded out the week of Upfronts with their party to announce the new fall schedule. Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose's (from Six Feet Under, the finale of which I have still not recovered) new show, The Return of Jezebel James, does not look nearly as funny as it should considering the cast, but I have hope. Rashida Jones from The Office was also there to introduce her new pilot, which is expected to be a midseason replacement.

Interview: Spike Feresten of "TalkShow"
Spike Feresten may not be a household name, but you know his work well. As a former writer on "Seinfeld," Feresten gave us muffin tops, Elaine's bad dancing, and the Wig Master before moving on to his own show.
