Hmm, maybe the programming execs at FOX have souls after all: they’ve mercifully taken The Return of Jezebel James, a disastrous waste of Parker Posey masquerading as a sitcom, off their schedule after just three episodes. At BigScreenLittleScreen, Ted Zee describes how a scene from the second episode (he’s obviously more dedicated to the Save Parker cause than me, because I couldn’t get past the pilot) pretty much sums up the whole situation: “you’re relieved that it’s over, because it’s not funny, and you feel embarrassed for everyone involved.” Unfortunately, video evidence of the crime inexplicably lives on at Hulu, thus ensuring that this blight on Posey’s resume won’t fade as quickly as it should.
