Sounds interesting

(But I think TLAD is more interesting

)

**Hell on Heels** · 01-12-2009, 10:09 AM

This is cool and more promising but TLAD really is more interesting.

**..::Lourdes::..** · 01-12-2009, 10:30 AM

true!

**Hell on Heels** · 01-12-2009, 10:50 AM

I guess this answers that series or movie question. Shiri wouldn't be auditioning for another series if she already had one.

EARLBNY · 01-12-2009, 11:07 AM

That definitely answers the series or movie question. However do we know if TLAD has any more episodes in the can or did they only shoot the pilot? I have seen a few actors work on 2 shows at the same time however non of them had been staring roles or have just been host of various shows.

Thanks for the news. But I am very weary of the show airing on the CW.

**Hell on Heels** · 01-12-2009, 08:01 PM

I don't really like that this show is for CW. The CW is crap.

EARLBNY · 01-13-2009, 06:53 AM

They should put it on CBS or something like that. That network is doing well. I have not watched the CW since it started. Once Roswell left I stopped watching the WB.

More of the same

CW star Appleby takes on first mother role
The TV drama "Light Years" on the CW network will star Shiri Appleby, who has mostly played ingénues or vixens, in her first mother role.

The story line centers on a 16-year-old foster child (Brittany Robertson) who looks for her biological father (Kristoffer Polaha) and mother (Appleby), who haven't spoken to each other since their one-night stand in high school resulted in pregnancy.

Appleby turned 30 last month, is just 11 years than Robertson. Polaha is 31.

CW like its predecessor network the WB tends to use young actresses for the motherly role. In "Gilmore Girls" the mother of a teenage daughter Lauren Graham was just 33 when the series began, 14.5 years older than screen daughter Alexis Bledel.

It is. There have been rumors for quite a while that if the programming did not get more viewers then there would be no more CW. I wish this show would air on any other network but this one, but I still wish her the best and I will be watching.

PHMustang2000 · 01-13-2009, 12:46 PM

I'll watch anything to see Shiri Once a week; I miss that when does this new show hit the TheCW? Summer or next Fall?

I'll def. be watching but like I said, I'm not very excited that it's on The CW. That channel sucks all around. And its future isn't very bright.
