I was going to post about MTM too. I saw her last night on one of those entertainment shows being interviewed about the guest appearance she was doing for That 70s show. They said the episodes would air in Feb.

To sort of tie this in with the New Orleans thread, this entire movie was filmed on location in New Orleans during the month of July, finishing production just a few weeks prior to Katrina. In fact it was one of the last films to complete production in New Orleans, which was one of the largest areas for film production outside of Hollywood with tax incentive laws as well as numerous scenic locations perfect for film settings. Major Hollywood films such as "Ray" "Skeleton key" and tv movies such as the Elvis miniseries were filmed in N.O. Many others also that I just can't think of right now.
"Snow Wonder" had its production office on canal street, just a few blocks from the Superdome, a scene was also shot at the airport, just a few weeks before it became a field hospital. The majority of locations for this film were soon under water. Everyone involved with this film other than the leading actors and key crew members were Louisiana locals. This gives it kind of an underlying haunting sense of sadness. But I'm sure that with time, New Orleans will once again be attracting Hollywood producers.

BleuTwinks is absolutely right (and thank you for your post). The New Orleans film industry was really getting into gear before Katrina hit-the city's film festival, in its 17th year, just keeps getting better and getting more attention. There's also the New Orleans International Human Rights Film Festival, in its second year, and a gay and lesbian film festival as well (I think it's fairly new).
Other movies filmed in the New Orleans area (though not exclusively in New Orleans, but at least a significant part was): Interview with the Vampire, The Runaway Jury, Because of Winn-Dixie, The Pelican Brief, Dead Man Walking, JFK, Miller's Crossing, Primary Colors...I know there are others. The remake of All the King's Men (*cannot* wait to see this-Sean Penn, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Patricia Clarkson, who is a New Orleans native) too.
It's not just a matter of Hollywood coming to the city-New Orleans Video Access Center gives a lot of support and workshops for local filmmakers as well. The Warehouse District and Faubourg Marigny are great artsy/bohemian places to live.
I didn't know that this was made in New Orleans. I'll watch, but it may be hard. Thank you *so much* for saying this.
I hope you're right, BleuTwinks, that the film industry can come back. It's just very, very bad there. I had hope earlier, but it's fading. I'm very afraid people are going to give up on the city. The longer residents are away, the more settled they will get in their new areas, especially if they have children. They can't go back because they have no power and potable water in their homes. And it's becoming more dangerous to return to their homes.
And, Lord, forgive me for my babbling, but the Mississippi Gulf Coast is in despair as well.

The football game ran late, so the movie has been pushed back. Cold Case is on now, so I guess the movie will start a little before 8:30 Central/9:30 Eastern.

FYI: one of the stories takes place in Jennings, LA (Camryn Manheim's story). Jennings is just about halfway between Lafayette and New Orleans. Jennings is in the Acadiana region.
BleuTwinks, some of the scenes must have been shot just outside New Orleans, I think (exterior shots...?). Since none of the stories take place in NOLA, they probably wanted to avoid anything that really looked like the city, I imagine. Those houses look like houses in NOLA and in the suburbs.
That's the FOX station, I think....
*squints* It's kind of hard to make out any landmarks or buildings with all this snow.
Oh, right.
That looks like one of the PJ's coffeehouses...
