The other mother is reported to be Christine Baranski. I am wildly happy--this is beyond belief!

New date for pilot taping is March 31.
Well, we know how these 2 mothers will compete--sing sing sing.

Oh,wow. Thanks so much for finding this. I think Christine Baranski is wonderful.
Even more excited about this. Hope ABC decides to pick it up. When are those things usually decided? I know nothing about the television industry.
They are going to change the advertising,aren't they?

Sally and Marsha reunited. Wonder if the date change will allow Peters to appear at the Sondheim concerts

This development seems to put it in a whole new realm, doesn't it? I mean it seemed potentially promising, but iffy, but now...
Bernadette Peters and Christine Baranski, together as a team, just seems fabulous. How could it not get picked up by ABC, with that combination?

THRILLING news!! 
Two such great, talented stars?? Both wonderful comediennes?? I'm with Karen: How could they NOT pick it up??
(and if they don't, I just about give up on TV altogether. Of course, the writing's got to be good too, but I can't imagine these two joining forces if the scripts are not at least a notch above the ordinary.)
Have to add too -- it would be great to see two smart, adult women on TV again. They are getting fewer and farther between....

SingOutAnnie, that's just what I was thinking. There must be something very special about the scripts to attract the two of them to the project. In the end, it all boils down to the writing.

I just thought Christine Baranski was hilarious on Cybill. Her biting one liners were great. I hope this indeed works out!

Jenn, to answer your question "when are these things usually decided"--I really have no idea at all about how the business of TV works. But, last year in mid-May 2004 ABC announced it's 2004-05 schedule, so if that's any guide, perhaps we are looking at the same time frame this year.
(Just spent a few minutes reading a couple of reviews of "Sally and Marsha" --Bernadette got really good reviews. I think she surprised Frank Rich and Walter Kerr by returning to the NY stage all grown-up and an accomplished actress--not just an adorable comedian/singer.)

Christine Baranski was born in Buffalo,N.Y.(my home town) and was raised in a suburb (Cheektowaga,I believe) She was inducted recently into the Shea's Buffalo Hall of Fame -it is our glorious renovated theatre that can re-produce such lavish shows as "Lion King" and "Phantom".For a middle sized town and finacially in trouble, we have great theatre and it's supported well.Just a big plug for the town that gave us this great talent! She and Bernadette will make a terrific comedic pair. Way to go,Christine and Bernadette!! Can't wait!
To the loveliest lady of song!
You will keep on giving me joy forever...

Now all we need is a press-release saying that Angela Lansbury has been cast as the grandmother! What a phenomenal cast it would be...
(I know I saw or read Angela saying that she of everything she's done, she would still like to try doing a comedy sitcom) (and she is going to be on one of the Law & Orders this season) (challenge to Jean who is the queen of digging up internet info)

Sister Rose:
 umm, I don't know-it's a tough one--need to find just the right combination of search words--there are some 450 hits for Lansbury in 2004; of course a lot are just mentions because of Manchurian Candidate.
But thanks--anyone with a computer, access to Lexis-Nexis or some such, and tons of time (being retired helps) can do it. One of my job descriptions over my long career said something about "analyst"--I guess I still have some of that left.

Next for Lansbury -- Murder, She Laughed?
Sun Mar 7, 2004 11:14 PM ET
By Cynthia Littleton
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Angela Lansbury has a message for the town's comedy writers: she's in the market for a half-hour television series.
"It something I've never done. It seems a shame not to," she said matter-of-factly Friday during an "Evening With . . ." session held at the DGA Theater -- part of the Museum of Television & Radio's 2004 William S. Paley Television Festival.
Reflecting on her 60-plus years in showbiz, Lansbury told her worshipful audience that she misses performing in front of a live audience and thinks multicamera sitcom work could be a pretty close approximation. And as an actress, she's ready for it, Lansbury added, noting the many stages of life
she has played over the years.
