I wish her the best but I can't get excited about this.

She can be funny- I can totally see it being great.

I didn't see her on BIG BANG, but I guess she impressed somebody.

Nice to see her try something different, since although she's known for 1-hour genre action, she's really known for second-rate 1-hour genre action. In a comedy, maybe she can finally shake the "other slayer" curse that seems to follow her.

Good for her, I say. I will wait until I hear about the concept to get interested or not.

Speaking of "cursed" acrtresses... (Kidding!)

(Kind of)

I just read parts of the pilot. It's... What the word for "several magnitudes worse than crap?"

I actually feel bad for Eliza.

If she's playing the character indicated here's an example of what she's dealing with. A male character (I'm assuming Wayons) asked her "So, you're a woman, right?"

Um... Let me check.

Oh, hells yeah!

(I may be slightly mis-quoting the rest, but "hells yeah" is an exact quote).

If you want to see the awfulness for yourself:

Wow that is pretty bad. Painful even.
Has anyone heard anything about the other pilots our whedonverse-ers are in? Sean's "Playboy" Pilot was getting some good buzz (until they recast the lead anyway, but the script was well-liked) but I haven't heard anything about Alan's "Suburgatory".
