Spoiler [+]

Episode 4 is slated to star Bruce Vilanch (of Hollywood Squares fame), as a customer named "Edwin Collins", in a one-time guest appearance. He comes into the store looking for a new coat, but unfortunately all the XXL coats are out of stock. However, in their search for an XXL coat, Rumer Willis' character Chrona uncovers a minor clue in the pocket of one of the coats that helps set her off on her time traveling quest to uncover the mysteries of the BCF. Because Edwin must catch a plane in a few short hours to head to Antarctica to save his wife from impending doom (my friend would not elaborate on what 'impending doom' meant), Bruce is forced to buy a size L coat.

Apparently the title for this episode is "Fat Man in a Little Coat"

That is SO UNREALISTIC!

Spoiler [+]

BCF would NEVER run out of XXL coats. It's hard to find anything smaller than an XXL there!

I hope they don't run this show up against Please Delete Now. That show is top notch right now and I'm not sure I have the DVR space for Burlington Coat Factory Stores!

Biggs rounds out cast for 'Burlington'

American Pie star joins Willis, Dukakis, Gellar in ABC spymedy

By DAVID HAYHURST

LOS ANGELES -- American Pie star Jason Biggs is returning to television as the latest and final cast member of ABC's hot new show Burlington Coat Factory.

Bigg is the tenth regular to sign on to the show, joining leads Rumer Willis and Olympia Dukakis, along with an ensemble cast that includes Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christine Barasnki, Danny Glover, Idina Menzel, Danny Slavin, Lori Beth Denberg and newcomer Courtney Marit.

Biggs will play Jon-Jon, a Burlington employee who gets the company into a major lawsuit when he leads post-op transexual Grizelda (played by Christine Barasnki) to the gentlemens coat rack.

Casting agents originall envisioned Jon-Jon as a "smooth chested Hanson look-alike", and rumors about who'd take the part (everyone from Zac Efron to Kevin Zegers to Mickey Rooney) ran rampant. However, it was Biggs's perseverance that sold the network into casting him.

"He put on a blonde wig, knocked on our office doors and accompanied himself on a weird rendition of 'MMMbop"," said casting agent Nicole Williams, "Which actually kinda scared us. But then when Lynn (Spillman) asked him 'hey, are you taylor hanson?' he replied 'no, Jodi Foster.' Which was when we knew he understood the part better than anyone."

Shooting on the pilot episode is scheduled to begin on Monday in Los Angeles. The premiere is scheduled for February sweeps.

Glad this is on ABC. TV Guide just dropped MTV & the CW from its listings. Mmmm, Rumer Willis.

Perfect casting of Jason Biggs as Rumer's brother. I'm liking the whole nepotism angle at BCF.

I'm not really sure I love this show yet. Yeah, its fun, but it reminds me a little of Chuck at times. At least it handles all the time travel stuff better than Heroes does.

I heard a kind of unsettling rumor, can someone confirm plz??

So everyone & their mother knows that PDN hit its highest ratings during the All-Star Pat Morita Musical Extravaganza/Tribute episode. I think we all still remember where we were when we saw it. Word now is that ever since Patrick Swayze was admitted to the hospital, network suits along w/ producers and casting agents for BCF have been bedside on a daily basis. I've heard they are really honing in on getting him to play Olympia Dukakis' illegitimate son who comes back to town to stake his claim in the family business (this will be the midseason cliffhanger).

I actually think he would mesh well with this cast and material, but damn ABC...have you no shame.

I'm pretty sure that's just a rumor. I heard they were tapping David Hyde Pierce for that role.

And I think you guys are mixing up your rumors, since E!'s Kristin Dos Santos CLEARLY reported that David Hyde Pierce AND Patrick Swayze would both be appearing as Olympia's son.

Twins? Time travel? How can both be playing her son?
