We Miss Gilmore Girls - So Bunheads Will Do

Your Stars Hollow team adores a certain Ms Amy Sherman-Palladino, the brains and voice behind the always fabulous 'Gilmore Girls'  ( aka - best show in the world)  Her next show, Bunheads, centers on a former Vegas showgirl who , after impulsively getting married, moves to a small coastal town and works at her mother-in-law's dance school. We also happen to be fans of anything dance-related (think Step Up, Centre Stage, even Honey!) and Amy herself spent 20 years as a dancer which bodes well for the accuracy of the series.  

We have been bitterly disappointed in the past - we got all excited about an AS-P project that starred the yummy Sean Farris - The Wyoming Project - but this never saw the light of day.  The Return Of Jezebel James also showed promise but fizzled after only 3 episodes.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for Bunheads.  It will star Broadway favourite Sutton Foster as the Las Vegas showgirl and It was just announced that Kelly Bishop, who portrayed Emily Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, will play the recurring role of Fanny, her mother-in-law^. 

 
Bunheads will screen in the US in June 2012
