The Return of Jezebel James (2008)

The completist's curiosity. Parker Posey plays a successful children's book editor who cannot have children and asks her estranged younger sister, Lauren Ambrose, to carry her baby, and the two leads are a fine match for Sherman-Palladino's motor-mouth rhythms. It is a short watch for a reason: Fox canceled it after three of its seven episodes had aired, and the remaining four were released on iTunes in May 2008. Watch it to hear her voice squeezed into a traditional sitcom format, not for a finished story.
