It'll be just a couple of months now before the lovely ladies of
The L Word return to Showtime for their sixth and final season. Of course, at least part of the show is living on in the form of
a spinoff led by
Leisha Hailey's Alice, but January marks the beginning of the last time these particular women will be together on screen.
There's not much to this teaser except for some intrigue and a whole lot of gorgeousness — I think each of the L Word ladies takes a turn giving the camera a steamy look.
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the selections below you can also add to your queue the kid-friendly adventure
Journey to the Center of the Earth.
After watching last week's premiere of
The Rachel Zoe Project, I have to say I'm intrigued, but not for the fashion aspect or her business aspirations; more so because of her Rachel Zoeisms (wonder what she'll come up with tonight!). The main thing that grabbed my attention was the fact that she constantly tells people she loves them — her business partners, her clients, even her mentors! I know the L word means something different to everyone and it can be used in a plethora of ways, but saying "I love you" as flippantly as she did in her show was a little off-putting to me.
At the
TCA press tour, Showtime announced that the network is developing
a spinoff of The L Word that would continue one woman's story after the show's final season airs. But nobody would say which character was being considered for the spinoff (they said not even the actress knows yet), and you know what that means: Time for some Internet speculation!
Just a few days ago, we got word that
Elizabeth Berkley is joining the cast as an old love interest of Bette's — so would that give Bette more story to carry over into a spinoff?
It's been a good year for
Saved by the Bell alumni. Mark-Paul Gosselaar's new show,
Raising the Bar, begins airing on TNT in September. Mario Lopez has been everywhere from Broadway to MTV.
Showtime Plants More Weeds, Spins Off the L Word
Fresh from
TCA: The network is working on a spinoff of
The L Word (but wouldn't say which character will be the focus), has ordered two additional seasons of
Weeds, will have a documentary show called Lock 'n Load about a gun store in Colorado, and has picked up the Edie Falco series tentatively titled Nurse Jackie.
I talk about love on a daily basis with the assumption that we've all been in love before when in fact, that isn't necessarily the case. Loving someone and being in love with someone are totally different emotions and while using the
L Word means something different to everyone, what I want to know is, have you ever truly been in love?
