It's like The Brontës in NY.

Hmm, so the mom will be a heartless bitch/career woman. And she'll play favorites with her son. How many stereotypes can AS-P squeeze into a single character? Also, I still have not forgiven her for abandoning GG at such a critical moment. Or for inflicting that Parker Posy crapfest on the world.

@PhillyLass: And while I'm on a roll, what is the oh-so talented Lauren Graham up to these days? Aside from a couple of small and crappy parts in movies post-GG, she's pretty much disappeared. Will someone give her a show already?

@PhillyLass: I cosign the need for more Lauren Graham on TV. I'm looking forward to watching her on Parenthood ever so much, but it's still been far too long.

I met her once, and she's as delightful and funny and kind as I'd imagined.

At first I thought "Yippee!" but then I remembered: (1) this show will not star Lauren Graham, Kelly Bishop, or that guy who played Michel; and (2) the last thing Amy did was that terrible Jezebel James show.

@Maritsa: Hearted for your love of Lauren Graham, Yanic Truesdale and Kelly Bishop. Especially Kelly Bishop (long story, love her a lot).

@Maritsa: I know, I realized that I assumed that Lauren Graham would play a sister, and now that I know she's not, I'm substantially less enthusiastic.

@Maritsa: I recently re-watched Dirty Dancing, and realized for the first time that Mrs. Houseman is played by Kelly Bishop. I was like, "Oh my god, Baby's mom! She's playing Emily Gilmore all over again! Or... was she playing Mrs. Houseman on Gilmore Girls... or...?" and then my head exploded.

I cast my vote for Christine Baransky in the role of the mother.

@Mary McCarthyite: I am betting it will be Blythe Danner (Christine Baransky is currently on "The Good Wife" in a criminally tiny supporting role).

@rowingrowingrowing: I would love to see Christine Barnansky or Blythe Danner but what about Anjelica Huston like The Royal Tenenbaums? She'd have three Margot(s)!

And their mother, a domineering literary-lioness

I loved Gilmore Girls (well, seasons 1-5, anyway) but based on this description (cold, domineering, tough as nails mother), I'm not sure how this character will be anything but the poor man's Emily Gilmore. Unless she casts Kelly Bishop, and then it will just be Emily Gilmore: The New Class, which is fine by me.

Finally, at long last, someone is making a show to represent rich white woman who live in NYC. Now if only these women like to shop....(fingers crossed)

@bluebears: Perhaps someday, if we are very lucky, there will be a show about other rich white people in NYC. Perhaps teenagers, or an amusing band of twenty-somethings.

I know, I know--it's a pipe dream.
