Okay, I know a lot of you are still in mourning for The Comeback. (I certainly am, although this week’s DVD release has eased the pain.) And I don’t want you to think I’m one of those insensitive people who would, for example, try to strong-arm a friend into getting a puppy right after her dog dies as some sort of misguided replacement therapy. That said, I feel it’s my duty to alert FOVs (friends of Valerie, natch) to tonight’s premiere of The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman (IFC, 11-11:30 p.m., EDT), a vaguely sad, weirdly paced, inside-Hollywood sitcom that, in spite of its flaws, had me hooting with laughter, and looking forward to a second serving. Series star and executive producer Laura Kightlinger (pictured) may not have Lisa Kudrow’s Emmy-worthy depth — though how many actors do? — but in tonight’s pilot episode, she beautifully skewers the culture of celebrity religious/self-help movements, from the inane motivational babble (”My success had led me to a tiny island. Population: Me.”) to the green, beaded necklaces worn by members of ”The Platform.” Not only that, but it’s already yielded a pretty jaunty catchphrase. All together now, ”I’m Sally F—ing Kellerman! Open this f—ing door!”
Valerie Cherish, meet 'Jackie Woodman'

Since COMCAST only carries IFC if you are willing to shell out DOUBLE for digital cable (it totally sucks compared to a dish, which costs less than half the price and has no where near the # of channels), I won’t be watching this show.
Anyone else still hate the cable company? I can’t stand them.
Oh yeah, the show looks good.
Give it up on “The Comeback.” I think you are the only person in the world who liked it. Lisa Kudrow is grating.
I liked the comeback, so there. There’s at least two of us. Lisa Kudrow rocks the casbah.
Valerie Rules!
Oh my god, this is the lady that placed the nurse on Will & Grace! I really wish I could see this show, for only the fact that my beloved Slezak recommended. Also, this lady is funny even when she just gives a look. Oh well, no IFC so, I won’t be seein it.
what is IFC??
