Big scoop on “Gilmore Girls” & “Scrubs”
One of our great friends here at Moviehole is the man we like to call Michael Ausiello, otherwise known as the king of TV Guide. Writing in the latest edition of his “Ausiello Report”, he had a great one on one with Amy Sherman-Palladino & Dan Palladino about their departure from “Gilmore Girls”, and their thoughts on the future of the show, here’s an extract for ya:
“Ausiello: So, there’s no hope that your story…
Amy: It’s not my story anymore, honey. No one’s consulting me. No one’s talking to me. No one’s asking me about anything next year. I don’t know what’s in the budget. I don’t know who’s being hired. The minute the studio decided they’re moving on, they moved on. I’m out of the loop.
Ausiello: Well, I can tell you that Dave Rosenthal is taking over.
Amy: We know Dave Rosenthal. We hired him.
Ausiello: Is the show in good hands?
Amy: Dave’s a great guy. He’s a great guy. He has credits up the arse.
Ausiello: One of those credits is Good Morning, Miami. [Dan chuckles]
Amy: Well, he also did Spin City.
Dan: Don’t look too closely at Amy’s and my credits going back. You’ll find something in all of our résumés. We hired David as an executive producer, perhaps even in anticipation of either leaving or getting more people so that we could delegate a little more, and it’s really, really worked. They’ll have to hire a bunch of new people.
Amy: They need to hire some major writers because they don’t have a staff right now. ”
For any fan of the “Girls”, it’s an absolutely insane read, so head over and check out the rest as soon as you’re done here. Michael also talks a little bit about one of my favourite shows, “Scrubs”, and it’s future on NBC:
“Finally, some news we can get excited about: Although an NBC rep insists it’s not true, rumors are rampant that the Peacock net has — wait for it — renewed Scrubs for a sixth season! I don’t care if NBC isn’t confirming, I’m celebrating anyway.”
