ADDITIONAL NOTES:
confirmed as canceled on 3/24/08
DESCRIPTION:
(from FOX's press release) A comedy that answers the question of whether polar-opposite sisters can live together when one agrees to carry the other's baby. In the pilot, bright, optimistic, successful children's book editor Sarah (Parker Posey) turns to her estranged and free-spirited younger sister, Coco (Lauren Ambrose), when she learns she cannot conceive a child herself. Can this odd couple put their differences aside for the miracle of life? Coco decides to give it a try and packs up her bags and relocates from a friend's couch to move into her sister Sarah's enormous loft, but gets more than she bargained for when she discovers she is relegated to a dismal unfinished bedroom. Sarah's surprises continue with everything from an emergency Hello Kitty cell phone, to a visit from mom (Dianne Wiest) and dad (Ron McLarty); both of which take a turn for the worse in the "Pilot/Frankenstein Baby" episode of THE RETURN OF JEZEBEL JAMES airing Friday, March 14 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
