LOGO GREENLIGHTS SEASON TWO OF EXES AND OHS WITH SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STARS MICHELLE PARADISE AND MARNIE ALTON

Greenlight news comes on heels of release of Exes and Ohs: The Complete First Season DVD
New York, NY – May 21, 2008 – Through a special video message posted by Exes and Ohs stars Michelle Paradise and Marnie Alton at Logo’s AfterEllen.com, Logo today announced the greenlight of season two of Exes and Ohs, the first-ever scripted comedy about lesbian friends and relationships for a basic cable channel. The eight-episode, half-hour scripted series – based on the short film The Ten Rules: A Lesbian Survival Guide –will premiere in early 2009.

The announcement, made by series creator and star Michelle Paradise and co-star Marnie Alton, is now available for viewing at AfterEllen.com, the nation’s top-ranked lesbian-themed website, which helped propel Exes and Ohs’ first season success through video blogs about the show and a powerful community of fans who shared in the show’s experience. The news was announced on the heels of the availability of Exes and Ohs: The Complete First Season DVD at retail stores and at the shop at LOGOonline.com.

Exes and Ohs follows the adventures of Jennifer (Michelle Paradise), a documentary filmmaker and her search for Ms. Right, telling the story of lesbian survival in life and love in Seattle, WA. Jennifer tries to keep up with the high-drama dating world, fulfill her creative ambitions, avoid the danger of professional and romantic complacency and embrace the “rules” of lesbian life, love and community.
Jennifer is surrounded by a group of close and diverse friends: Sam (Marnie Alton), was Jennifer’s first love but is now her fun-loving, commitment-phobic ex-girlfriend; long-time partners in love and business Chris (Megan Cavanagh) and Kris (Angela Featherstone) are trying to run a home-based pet accessory enterprise while overrun by pets with whom they’re too in love to give up for adoption.

TNT Original Series Starring Oscar® Winner Holly Hunter In Her Powerful Golden Globe®-Nominated TV Series Debut Premieres On DVD July 15th >From Fox Home Entertainment

“A dark, mesmerizing drama anchored by Holly Hunter’s delicious performance” - Variety

CENTURY CITY, Calif. – A jaded, emotionally complex and brilliant Oklahoma City police detective gets a last chance to reclaim her life in the acclaimed new TNT series “Saving Grace,” debuting on DVD July 15th from Fox Home Entertainment. Academy Award® winner Holly Hunter (The Piano) makes her television series debut with the provocative, Golden Globe® nominated role of Detective Grace Hanadarko, a fast-living, hard-drinking, cynical forty-something who, despite being at the top of her field, takes struggle to a new level. It all catches up to her when, after another night of too many drinks, she tragically kills a pedestrian with her car, forcing her, uncharacteristically, to ask God for help. Her prayers are answered by Earl; a scruffy, tobacco-spitting, unlikely “last-chance angel” who unfolds his wings to reveal his heavenly origins and pledges to help Grace get her life on the right path – whatever that may mean for Grace.

Hailed by critics as “one of the most distinctive new shows of the year” (Chicago Tribune) with a “distinctive voice” (Time) and “sheer force-of-nature performance by Hunter” (San Jose Mercury News), “Saving Grace” became the #1 new U.S. cable series of summer 2007 (averaging over 5.2 million viewers per week). The series also features outstanding supporting cast including Leon Rippy (Deadwood), Laura San Giacomo (“Just Shoot Me”), Kenneth Johnson (“The Shield”), Bokeem Woodbine (The Big Hit), Gregory Norman Cruz (“Criminal Minds”) and Bailey Chase (“Las Vegas”). Featuring all 13 original episodes on a four-disc set with bonus features including numerous behind-the-scenes featurettes, interviews with cast/crew, select episode commentary, Everlast music video and more, the “Saving Grace” Season One DVD will be available to own for $49.98 U.S. / $69.98 Canada.

Barbara Eden & Larry Hagman Return for One Last Time on DVD July 8

I DREAM OF JEANNIE: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON Four-Disc Box Set Features 26 Fanciful Episodes

Culver City, Calif. (April 28, 2008) – The final season of one of the most beloved sitcoms in television history comes to DVD July 8 when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases I Dream of Jeannie: The Complete Fifth Season. The four-disc box set features the romantic magic of all 26 episodes from the fifth season and will be available for $39.95 SRP.

Barbara Eden (TV’s “Harper Valley PTA”) in her career-defining role as Jeannie and Larry Hagman (TV’s “Dallas”) as the hapless Major Tony Nelson star as the adorable mismatched couple, back for one last season of adventures. Their viable chemistry and deft comic timing was made even more successful by the series’ talented regulars Bill Daily (TV’s “The Bob Newhart Show”) as Tony’s best friend and secret-keeper Major Roger Healey, Hayden Rorke (The Unsinkable Molly Brown) as nosey Dr. Bellows, and Emmaline Henry (Rosemary’s Baby) as his wife, Amanda Bellows.

Fifth season high jinks include Jeannie having to make a choice between being Tony’s wife or being the queen of a country, with many of the episodes revolving around wedding arrangements and the big event itself. Viewers have a front row seat to Tony’s (Hagman) reluctant participation in a bachelor party, the confusion and avoidance of wedding pictures, since genies don’t show up in pictures, and the last-ditch attempt of Jeannie’s sister to break up the happy couple by posing as Jeannie and pretending to have an affair. Guest stars appearing during this season include Farrah Fawcett (TV’s “Charlies Angels”) and Jackie Coogan (The Kid).
