The Return of Jezebel James was an American sitcom television series produced by Regency Television and Dorothy Parker Drank Here Productions for Fox. It was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls), who also wrote the Pilot episode and co-executive produced the series with her husband Daniel Palladino. The series starred indie actress Parker Posey as a successful children's book editor who, unable to have children herself, asks her estranged younger sister (Lauren Ambrose) to carry her baby. The series aired from March 14th to March 21st in 2008, cancelled and pulled off the air after its third episode. Despite its cancellation, seven episodes are known to exist and have been previously available on iTunes and Amazon.

Although clips, TV spots, and previews have been uploaded to YouTube over the years and stills of the show are available online and on the show's IMDb[1] the episodes themselves are nowhere to be found either online or on home video/DVD.

Due to the series shared creator with The Gilmore Girls (Palladino), "The Gilmore Guys" have featured the show on their podcast. This led to a few people asking where the pair found the episodes on Twitter[2], and one user (who appears to be inactive) claiming that she has access to the first three episodes [3]. The podcast's official twitter and one of its two hosts were contacted through direct message in November of 2017 but no response was given.
