Ringer Premieres Tonight, Will You Watch?

I'm still totally on the fence about Sarah Michelle Gellar's new show, Ringer. If it starred anyone else, I don't think I'd be interested, but it stars Buffy! SMG's big return to TV wouldn't be for a mediocre project. At least, I would hope so.

Read the full synopsis and watch the trailer after the break.

TV Upfronts: "The Ringer" Brings Sarah Michelle Gellar back to TV

If you've read my blog, you probably already know I'm a huge fan of Buffy. So needless to say, I'm super stoked that Sarah Michelle Gellar is returning to television. She'll even be back on her old network, well sort of since the CW replaced The WB, and in her hold timeslot on Tuesdays.

The Ringer was originally optioned for CBS, but when they didn't have room in their schedule the CW snapped it up. Gellar plays both twin sisters, one with a seemingly perfect life and the other a recovering drug addict struggling to piece her life back together. When the rich and perfect twin Siobhan, suddenly disappears, Bridgette things she's kills herself and takes this opportunity to start a new and better life. However, Siobhan was leading a very different life than she let on. Affairs, dirty money, and a whole lot more are exposed as Bridgette pretends to be her sister.

Watch the CW's trailer for the show after the break.
