Wow it's like next week!! Hope she tweets something till then!! And does that mean that we will get some sneaks???

Pixie B

OMG OMG I'm so excited!

Thanks for the link, Kasi!

I wonder if she will be able to attend Italy Con after this new though. The article says these shows film in Chicago and filming starts like 2 days before and it takes a day to fly to Italy......

As far as I know this news is only about the pilot. I'm not sure about the rest of filming. I think they have to film a pilot and then the network decides to pick up a whole season of it and then full filming starts, but I'm not sure. I don't know if we would get any sneaks.

Pixie B

Yeah, I think most shows are like that: first they shoot the pilot and then, if it gets picked up, they start filming the rest. It's why most shows have the actors with one hairstyle in the pilot and a different one in the following episodes

I hadn't thought about the con. You're right, she might not have time to attend it
Since she's the lead, she probably has lots of scenes to shoot.

I really hope she'll find a way to attend it, but at least we already know that if she doesn't go it's because she's working on her new show.

kaybone

That's what I was thinking. :/

It would suck if she couldn't attend since she bought Rosetta stone and everything.

I'm hoping that her scenes can all be filmed on thursday and then the rest of her scenes the next week lol. She one of 5 leads right? So her filming may not be as heavy as we think.

IDK. I was really looking forward to italy. I hope jensen attends some of her "back up plan" premeires!

I'm happy for her new show but I also want to shove J/D pics into haters' faces one last time before the wedding!

WOW ! I'm so excited

But I feel so nervous about the pick up thing

I love that she's gonna be the lead

kaybone

Yeah. A lot of new shows get cancelled so easily these days. I do worry because there's lots of doctor shows already out there especially on NBC. I hope the comedy stands out and everyone loves the show!

I haven't watched anything on NBC since my fave actor left ER a few years ago. Maybe now her new show will suck me in lol!

alexis bledel the best

yeah , but those're a medical shows

But that's one looks different , I mean it looks like just Dani who played a doctor

but the whole show's about the five friends , not about the medical part

I loved ER - I didn't watch it too much after Shane West left but bought the boxsets out of a weird sense of loyalty - I've watched every other season.


I really do hope FWB gets picked up - its sounds really interesting and funny

kaybone

@Alexis....I hope the friends part and comedy is what makes FWB stand out!

@Sara I did too. Noah Wyle (Dr. Carter) was my favorite and he left about 4 years before the show ended. He was the last original cast member to leave. Shane west was weird and John stamos. By the time the show ended, I hardly knew any of the new characters.

but if she is the lead - we will see her weekly on TV!


yeah i hate TV shows ... because most of the new ones never last these days

Pixie B

I know, that's so exciting!

I really hope it gets picked up!

DeanBean

I know!
That would be great - I really hope it gets picked up
