Amy Sherman-Palladino, creator of Gilmore Girls has signed a deal to create a sitcom pilot for Fox. The half-hour pilot is going to be about two sisters who reunite after a number of years apart. The twist is that the reunion happens after one sister agrees to carry the other's baby. She is set to write, produce, and direct the pilot, which is a lot of work. But remember that AS-P and her husband Daniel left GG earlier this year after the couple and Warner Brothers couldn't come to terms on a new deal, so she'll have time.

Knowing Amy's writing style, I'm sure there will be lots of references to current and past pop culture, with band names popping up from time to time.
