==American Idol==
On August 13, 2009, she auditioned for ''American Idol'' in [[Boston|Boston, Massachusetts]] and sang "[[At Last]]", where all four judges (including guest judge [[Victoria Beckham]]) advanced her to Hollywood. At the Boston audition, judge Kara DioGuardi called her one of the most talented 16-year-olds she had ever seen. In Hollywood, DioGuardi made the prediction, "You could be the potential winner."

On March 24, 2010, Stevens landed in the bottom 3 during elimination night, along with [[Paige Miles]] and [[Tim Urban]]. She was proclaimed safe, giving her a spot on the ''American Idol'' summer tour.

Most of the critiques the judges gave her had been with regard to her pitch, age, and song choice. In her performance of "[[Chain of Fools]]", DioGuardi told her she had found where she belonged: [[R&B]]-[[Pop music|pop]], but she needed to work on being younger. She landed in the bottom three the following night but was declared safe, putting her into the Top 9. In her Top 9 performance of "[[Let It Be (song)|Let It Be]]", all of the judges thought it was a huge improvement. [[Ellen DeGeneres|Ellen]] stated that she wouldn't be in the bottom 3 after that performance. [[Simon Cowell|Simon]] said that she had done what she was told by being [[Country Music|Country]], while [[Kara DioGuardi|Kara]] and [[Randy Jackson|Randy]] disagreed, opining that she has more of an R&B sensibility. Nonetheless, her performance secured her a position in the Top 8. However, the Top 9 remained intact for another week due to the judges' save of [[Michael Lynche]].

Stevens was eliminated from ''American Idol'' the following week on April 14, along with [[Andrew Garcia]]. Her elimination came second on the double elimination night.

'''''The Cosby Mysteries''''' is an American television [[Mystery fiction|mystery]] series that starred [[Bill Cosby]]. It is the first television series to star Cosby since ''[[The Cosby Show]]'' (which ended in the spring of [[1992 in American television|1992]]) and lasted only one season ([[1994 in American television|1994]]–[[1995 in American television|1995]]).<ref>{{cite journal |year = 1995 |title = The '95 TV Season: Who's Gone?

==Premise==
Cosby played Guy Hanks, a [[New York City Police Department]] [[Forensic science|criminalist]] who retired from the force after winning $44 million in the lottery. However, his peaceful retirement was frequently interrupted since he was called in as a consultant on tough cases by his old partner, Adam Sully ([[James Naughton]]), along with medical examiner, John Chapman ([[Robert Stanton]]) . As Hanks used his wits and his forensics knowledge to solve crimes, he dealt with his holistic housekeeper Angie ([[Rita Moreno]]) and his girlfriend Barbara Lorenz ([[Lynn Whitfield]]).<ref>{{cite journal |last = Johnson |first = Robert E. |year = 1994 |title = Bill Cosby Begins TV Season With New Mystery Series Co-Starring Lynn Whitfield |url = http://books.google.com/books?id=9MEDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA60 |journal = JET |volume = 86 |issue = 21 |pages = 60–63 |issn = 0021-5996 |accessdate = 2010-01-06 }}</ref>

The show was created by David Black and [[William Link]]. Link's previous series included ''[[Columbo (TV series)|Columbo]]'' and ''[[Murder, She Wrote]]''. Link developed the series at Cosby's request, as Cosby wanted to do an intelligent, character-driven mystery series that did not rely on graphic violence.

The show began in January 1994 as a two-hour movie, and regular episodes began airing on NBC in September. Critics expressed hope that ''The Cosby Mysteries'' would fare better than the two shows he produced after ''The Cosby Show'',<ref>{{cite journal |last = Randolph |first = Laura B. |year = 1994 |title = Activist-Actor Celebrates 30 Years of Wedded Bliss, Continues Fight Against Black Stereotypes on TV |url = http://books.google.com/books?id=1HhtOI8Lw7EC&pg=PA104 |journal = Ebony |volume = 49 |issue = 7 |pages = 104 |issn = 0012-9011 |accessdate = 2010-01-06 }}</ref> ''[[Here and Now (TV series)|Here and Now]]'' and the game-show remake, ''[[You Bet Your Life#1992.E2.80.931993|You Bet Your Life]]''. However, it only lasted 18 episodes, and was never successful.

''The Cosby Mysteries'' has been re-run in the [[United Kingdom|UK]], on digital channel [[ITV1]], and in the [[United States|US]], on [[A&E Network|A&E]] and [[TV One (US TV network)|TVOne]].

==In popular culture==
*In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?]]", Homer laments the cancellation of ''The Cosby Mysteries'', saying "That show had limitless possibilities!"

* A ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' episode hosted by [[Patrick Stewart]] on the February 5, 1994 did a parody sketch of the Cosby series. [[Adam Sandler]] played Cosby as a buffoonish character who rambles on incoherently with dialog full of made-up nonsense words.<ref>{{cite web|title=FuzzyMemories.TV - Saturday Night Live - "The Cosby Mysteries" (1994)|url=http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?m=xxmiscxx#videoclip-872|accessdate=29 February 2012|date=February 5, 1994}}</ref>

* In February 2010, as a promotion for the show ''[[Glee (TV series)|Glee]]'', character [[Rachel Berry (Glee)|Rachel Berry]] used [[Twitter]] to show her lament and surprise at the show's cancellation, exclaiming "Wait, "The Cosby Mysteries" was cancelled?!?!".

==Plot==
Susan Wheeler ([[Lauren Ambrose]]) is a medical student starting her first year of training at the Peach Tree Memorial Hospital, built by her deceased grandfather. There she meets Dr. Mark Bellows ([[Steven Pasquale]]), Chief Surgical Resident, an doctor currently in a relationship with Head of Psychiatry Dr. Agnetta Lindquist ([[Geena Davis]]). Susan discovers that an unusually high number of surgeries at the hospital have been ending in comas. These coma patients are being transferred to the mysterious Jefferson Institute, a hospital designed to take care of coma patients. It's run by Mrs. Emerson ([[Ellen Burstyn]]), who refers to the patients as "her babies". With the help of Dr. Bellows (and soon Dr. Theodore Stark ([[James Woods]]), Chief of Surgery), Susan investigates the comas, and before long, strange things begin to happen seemingly to stop her investigation: her roommate, who works at the hospital and who helped her access confidential files, is suddenly fired; the hospital board tries to have her expelled from school; and she discovers cameras in her house. She is also stalked by Peter Arno ([[Michael Weston]]), who turns out to be a patient of Dr. Lindquist's and seems to be stalking Susan at Lindquist's behest. During one encounter with Susan, Peter puts a burlap sack over her head and tells her that, if she doesn't stop looking into the comas, she'll end up at Jefferson too.

Soon after a rare tour at the Jefferson, during which Susan wanders off path and discovers inhumane practices such as suspending patients by metal rods inserted into their bones, she contacts Dr. Stark with evidence, but he is in a car accident that renders him comatose before he can expose the conspiracy. Susan and Dr. Bellows, who began suspecting Dr. Lindquist's role in the conspiracy and broke off their relationship, together find out that various hospital staff and doctors have been getting large amounts of money from Jefferson. They further discover that each patient who ended up in a coma was operated on in the same room, which was pumped full of carbon monoxide via a pipe from the basement; this would render the patient brain dead without anyone noticing. Peter tries to kill Susan as she tries to collect evidence, but when he fails, he slits his own throat in a body cooler.

Susan is eventually captured and delivered to Jefferson, where they plan to put her into a coma. Susan breaks free, though severely sedated, and tries to escape through the hospital, hallucinating that she is underwater. As she flees, she finds out the complete truth - the Jefferson Institute is a human experimentation lab and organ farm. Jefferson has Peach Tree Memorial purposely induce comas on patients predisposed to certain diseases and then uses the bodies in various ways, ranging from harvesting organs from the patients directly to inducing pregnancy to use the fetuses for parts or umbilical stem cells to using them as human test subjects. Finally she encounters Professor Hillside, her medical school professor, who tells her that he and Susan's late grandfather Dr. Wheeler are the masterminds of the Jefferson Institute, making the Jefferson Institute is her legacy. Susan cries, distraught that this barbarism is being carried out in the name of medical advancement.

Meanwhile, Dr. Bellows and police Detective Jackson (who has been investigating the stalking of Susan and the death of Peter Arno) both end up at the house of Dr. Stark. There they find most of the doctors gathered for Dr. Stark's memorial; Stark died during surgery a few hours prior. While there, Dr. Nelson, head of anesthesiology and a part of the conspiracy, is seemingly overcome by guilt and tells the detective and Dr. Bellows that they can find Susan at the Jefferson Institute. The police and Dr. Bellows soon enter the institute and witness for themselves the horror. They arrest Professor Hillside and Dr. Bellows discovers Susan, who stabbed Mrs. Emerson to death with a syringe in self-defense and escaped through a drain.

The film ends with Susan awake in a hospital with Dr. Bellows by her side. She tells him she had “a terrible dream...I dreamt I was underwater and I couldn't get out”. Dr. Bellows tells her “it was just a dream” and then receives a text message with a picture of Dr. Lindquist, asking him to join her at a hospital in China. Dr. Bellows looks at Susan and repeats, “it was just a dream.”

'''Alexandra Danielle''' "'''Lexi'''" '''Ainsworth''' (born October 28, 1992) is an [[United States|American]] [[actress]]. She is known for her role as [[Kristina Davis]] on ''[[General Hospital]]''.

==Personal life and career==
Ainsworth was born in [[Oklahoma City, Oklahoma]]. At age 6, she began dancing on stage at the local ballet company.

This led her to appear in several theater productions, such as ''[[The Wizard of Oz (adaptations)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' (playing a munchkin) and ''[[To Kill A Mockingbird]]'' (portraying Scout). However, it was after attending a film camp in [[New York]] that Lexi developed an interest in film and television acting. She then headed to [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] where she enrolled in an acting camp program. A talent agency noticed Ainsworth, and they sent her out to audition for her first national commercial, subsequently for [[Barbie dolls]].

After shooting various commercials, Ainsworth acquired a role in the short film ''Caroline Crossing,'' and soon after, she portrayed Grace Budd in the film ''[[The Gray Man (2007 film)|The Gray Man]]''.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1943692/bio]</ref>

In June 2009, Ainsworth joined the cast of ''[[General Hospital]]'' as [[Kristina Davis]]. On October 7, 2011, she confirmed that she had shot her last scenes in the role, and her last airdate was November 4.

In 2012, Lexi will be appearing in the film ''So This Is Christmas''. {{citation needed|date=November 2011}}

'''Yiddish''' ({{lang|yi|[[wikt:ייִדיש|ייִדיש]]}} ''yidish'' or {{lang|yi|[[wikt:אידיש|אידיש]]}} ''idish'', literally "[[Jews|Jewish]]") is a [[High German languages|High German language]] of [[Ashkenazi Jews|Ashkenazi Jewish]] origin, spoken in many parts of the world. It developed as a fusion of [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] and [[Aramaic]] into German dialects with the infusion of [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] and traces of [[Romance languages]].<ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=eyBQn7JrBVwC&pg=PA72 ''Introduction to Old Yiddish literature'', p. 72], Baumgarten and Frakes, Oxford University Press, 2005</ref><ref>[http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/givennames/yiddial.htm "Development of Yiddish over the ages"], www.jewishgen.org</ref> It is [[Yiddish orthography|written]] in the [[Hebrew alphabet]].

The language originated in the Ashkenazi culture that developed from about the 10th century in the [[Rhineland]] and then spread to [[Central Europe|Central]] and [[Eastern Europe]] and eventually to other continents. In the earliest surviving references to it, the language is called {{lang|yi|לשון־אַשכּנז}} (''loshn-ashknez'' = "language of Ashkenaz") and {{lang|yi|טײַטש}} (''taytsh'', a variant of ''tiutsch'', the contemporary name for the language otherwise spoken in the region of origin, now called [[Middle High German]]). In common usage, the language is called {{lang|yi|מאַמע־לשון}} (''mame-loshn'', literally "mother tongue"), distinguishing it from [[Biblical Hebrew]] and [[Aramaic language|Aramaic]], which are collectively termed {{lang|yi|לשון־קודש}} (''loshn-koydesh'', "holy tongue"). The term "Yiddish" did not become the most frequently used designation in the literature of the language until the 18th century.

For a significant portion of its history, Yiddish was the primary spoken language of the Ashkenazi Jews and once spanned a broad [[dialect continuum]] from [[Western Yiddish]] to three major groups within [[Eastern Yiddish]], namely [[Litvish]], Poylish and Ukrainish. Eastern and Western Yiddish are most markedly distinguished by the extensive inclusion of words of [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] origin in the Eastern [[dialects]]. While [[Western Yiddish]] has few remaining speakers, Eastern dialects remain in wide use.

Yiddish is written and spoken in many [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox Jewish]] communities around the world, although there are also a number of Orthodox Jews who do not know Yiddish. It is a home language in most [[Hasidic Judaism|Hasidic]] communities, where it is the first language learned in childhood, used in schools and in many social settings. Yiddish is also the academic language of the study of the Talmud according to the tradition of the Lithuanian [[yeshiva]]s.

Yiddish is also used in the adjectival sense to designate attributes of Ashkenazic Jewish culture (for example, [[Jewish cooking#Jewish cuisine variations|Yiddish cooking]] and [[Klezmer|Yiddish music]]).<ref>[[Oscar Levant]] described [[Cole Porter]]'s '[[My Heart Belongs to Daddy]]" as "one of the most [[Yiddish]] tunes ever written" despite the fact that "Cole Porter's genetic background was completely alien to any Jewishness." Oscar Levant,''[[The Unimportance of Being Oscar]]'', Pocket Books 1969 (reprint of G.P. Putnam 1968), p. 32. ISBN 0-671-77104-3.</ref>

==History==
In the 10th century, a distinctive Jewish culture formed in [[Central Europe]]. The culture came to be called ''Ashkenazi'', deriving its name from ''[[Ashkenaz]]'' ({{bibleverse||Genesis|10:3|HE}}), the medieval [[Hebrew name]] for the territory centred on what is now the westernmost part of [[Germany]]. Its geographic extent did not coincide with the German [[Christian]] principalities; Ashkenaz included [[Northern France]]. It also bordered on the area inhabited by the [[Sephardim]], or [[Spain|Spanish]] Jews, which ranged into [[Southern France]]. Ashkenazi culture later spread into [[Eastern Europe]].

The first language of [[European Jew]]s may have been [[Aramaic]],<ref>Katz, 2004</ref> the vernacular of the Jews in [[Iudaea province|Roman-era Judea]] and ancient and early medieval [[Mesopotamia]]. The widespread use of Aramaic among the large non-Jewish [[Syria]]n trading population of the Roman provinces, including those in Europe, would have reinforced the use of Aramaic among Jews engaged in trade. In Roman times, many of the Jews living in [[Rome]] and [[Southern Italy]] appear to have been [[Greek language|Greek]]-speakers, and this is reflected in some Ashkenazi personal names (e.g., ''Kalonymus''). Much work needs to be done, though, to fully analyze the contributions of those languages to Yiddish.

Nothing is known about the [[vernacular]] of the earliest Jews in Germany, but several theories have been put forward. It is generally accepted that it was likely to have contained elements from other languages of the [[Near East]] and Europe, absorbed through dispersion. Since many settlers came via France and Italy, it is also likely that the Romance-based Jewish languages of those regions were represented. Traces remain in the contemporary Yiddish vocabulary: for example, {{lang|yi|בענטשן}} (''bentshn'', to bless), from the Latin ''{{lang|la|benedicere}}''; {{lang|yi|לייענען}} (''leyenen'', to read), from the Latin ''{{lang|la|legere}}''; and the personal names Anshl, cognate to Angel or Angelo; Bunim (probably from "bon homme"). Western Yiddish includes additional words of Latin derivation (but still very few): for example, ''orn'' (to pray), cf. Latin and Italian "orare".

The Jewish community in the Rhineland would have encountered the myriad dialects from which standard [[German language|German]] would in time emerge many centuries later. They would have been speaking their own versions of these German dialects, mixed with linguistic elements that they themselves brought into the region. Perhaps the main point of difference was the use of the Hebrew alphabet for the recording of the Germanic vernacular, which may have been adopted either because of the community's familiarity with the alphabet or to prevent the non-Jewish population understanding the correspondence, as well as the use of Hebrew and Aramaic words. These dialects would have adapted to the needs of the burgeoning Ashkenazi culture and may, as characterizes many such developments, have included the deliberate cultivation of linguistic differences to assert [[cultural autonomy]]. The Ashkenazi community also had its own geography, with a pattern of relationships among settlements that was somewhat independent of its non-Jewish neighbors. This led to the consolidation of Yiddish dialects, the borders of which did not coincide with the borders of German dialects.

Apart from the obvious use of Hebrew words for specifically Jewish artifacts, it is very difficult to determine the extent to which the Yiddish spoken in any earlier period differed from the contemporary German. There is a rough consensus that by the 15th century Yiddish would have sounded distinctive to the average German ear, even when restricted to the Germanic component of its vocabulary.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}}

This brief rhyme is decoratively embedded in a purely Hebrew text.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.milon.co.il/general/general.php?term=%D7%91%D7%93%D7%A2%D7%AA%D7%95 |title=בדעתו |publisher=Milon.co.il |date=2007-05-14 |accessdate=2010-08-07}}</ref> Nonetheless, it indicates that the Yiddish of that day was a more or less regular Middle High German written in the Hebrew alphabet into which Hebrew words – {{lang|yi| מַחֲזֹור}}, [[Mahzor|''makhazor'']] (prayer book for the [[High Holidays|High Holy Days]]) and {{lang|yi| בֵּיתֿ הַכְּנֶסֶתֿ}}, ''beis hakneses'' ([[synagogue]]) – had been included. The [[Niqqud|pointing]] appears as though it might have been added by a second scribe, in which case it may need to be dated separately and may not be indicative of the pronunciation of the rhyme at the time of its initial annotation.

Over the course of the 14th and 15th centuries, songs and poems in Yiddish, and also [[macaronic]] pieces in Hebrew and German, began to appear. These were collected in the late 15th century by Menahem ben Naphtali Oldendorf.<ref>''Old Yiddish Literature from Its Origins to the Haskalah Period by Zinberg, Israel. KTAV, 1975. ISBN 0-87068-465-5.</ref> During the same period, a tradition seems to have emerged of the Jewish community's adapting its own versions of German secular literature. The earliest Yiddish epic poem of this sort is the ''[[Dukus Horant]]'', which survives in the famous Cambridge Codex T.-S.10.K.22. This 14th-century manuscript was discovered in the [[Cairo Geniza|geniza of a Cairo synagogue]] in 1896, and also contains a collection of narrative poems on themes from the [[Hebrew Bible]] and the [[Haggadah]].

===Printing===
The advent of the [[printing press]] resulted in an increase in the amount of material produced and surviving from the 16th century and onwards. One particularly popular work was [[Elia Levita|Elia Levita's]] ''[[Bovo-Bukh]]'', composed around 1507–08 and printed in at least forty editions, beginning in 1541. Levita, the earliest named Yiddish author, may also have written ''Pariz un Viene'' ([[Paris]] and [[Vienna]]). Another Yiddish retelling of a chivalric romance, ''Vidvilt'' (often referred to as "Widuwilt" by Germanizing scholars), presumably also dates from the 15th century, although the manuscripts are from the 16th. It is also known as ''Kinig Artus Hof'', an adaptation of the Middle High German romance ''Wigalois'' by Wirnt von Gravenberg. Another significant writer is Avroham ben Schemuel Pikartei, who published a paraphrase on the [[Book of Job]] in 1557.

Women in the Ashkenazi community were traditionally not literate in Hebrew, but did read and write Yiddish. A body of literature therefore developed for which women were a primary audience. This included secular works, such as the ''Bovo-Bukh'', and religious writing specifically for women, such as the ''[[Tseno Ureno]]'' and the ''[[Tkhine]]s''. One of the best-known early woman authors was [[Glückel of Hameln]], whose memoirs are still in print.
[[File:Page from Yiddish-Hebrew-Latin-German dictionary by Elijah Levita.jpg|thumb|A page from the [http://cf.uba.uva.nl/nl/publicaties/treasures/page/p08.html ''Shemot Devarim''] (literally ''Names of Things''), a Yiddish-Hebrew-Latin-German dictionary and thesaurus, published by Elia Levita in 1542]]

The segmentation of the Yiddish readership, between women who read ''mame-loshn'' but not ''loshn-koydesh'', and men who read both, was significant enough that distinctive [[typeface]]s were used for each. The name commonly given to the semicursive form used exclusively for Yiddish was {{lang|yi|ווײַבערטײַטש}} (''vaybertaytsh'' = "women's ''taytsh''," shown in the heading and fourth column in the adjacent illustration), with square Hebrew letters (shown in the third column) being reserved for text in that language and Aramaic. This distinction was retained in general typographic practice through to the early 19th century, with Yiddish books being set in ''vaybertaytsh'' (also termed {{lang|yi|מעשייט}} ''mesheyt'' or {{lang|yi|מאַשקעט}} ''mashket'' — the construction is uncertain).<ref>Max Weinreich, געשיכטע פֿון דער ייִדישער שפּראַך (New York: YIVO, 1973), vol. 1, p. 280, with explanation of symbol on p. xiv.</ref>

An additional distinctive semicursive typeface was, and still is, used for rabbinical commentary on religious texts when Hebrew and Yiddish appear on the same page. This is commonly termed [[Rashi script]], from the name of the most renowned early author, whose commentary is usually printed using this script. (Rashi is also the typeface normally used when the Sefardi counterpart to Yiddish, [[Judaeo-Spanish|Ladino]], is printed in Hebrew script.)

</ref> - began to decline in the 18th century, as [[the Enlightenment]] and the ''[[Haskalah]]'' led to the view of Yiddish as a corrupt dialect. Owing to both assimilation to German and the incipient creation of [[Modern Hebrew]], Western Yiddish survived only as a language of "intimate family circles or of closely knit trade groups" ([[#liptzin1972|Liptzin 1972]]). Farther east, the response to this force took the opposite direction, with Yiddish becoming the cohesive force in a [[secular]] culture (see [[Yiddish Renaissance]]).

The late 19th and early 20th century are widely considered{{by whom|date=October 2011}} the Golden Age of secular Yiddish literature. This coincides with the development of Modern Hebrew as a spoken and literary language, from which some words were also absorbed into Yiddish. The three authors generally regarded{{by whom|date=October 2011}} as the founders of the modern Yiddish literary genre were born in the 19th century, but their work and significance continued to grow into the 20th. The first was Sholem Yankev Abramovitch, writing as [[Mendele Mocher Sforim]]. The second was Sholem Rabinovitsh, widely known as [[Sholem Aleichem]], whose stories about {{lang|yi|טבֿיה דער מילכיקער}} (''tevye der milkhiker'' = [[Tevye|Tevye the Dairyman]]) inspired the Broadway musical and film ''[[Fiddler on the Roof]]''. The third was [[I.L. Peretz|Isaac Leib Peretz]].

==20th century==
[[File:Yiddish WWI poster2.jpg|right|thumb|[[United States|American]] [[World War I]]-era poster in Yiddish. Translated caption: "Food will win the war – You came here seeking freedom, now you must help to preserve it – We must supply the [[Allies of World War I|Allies]] with wheat – Let nothing go to waste". Colour lithograph, 1917. Digitally restored.]]
In the early 20th century, especially after Socialist [[October Revolution]] in Russia, Yiddish was emerging as a major Eastern European language. Its rich literature was more widely published than ever, [[Yiddish theatre]] and [[National Center for Jewish Film|Yiddish film]] were booming, and it for a time achieved status as one of the official languages of the [[Ukrainian People's Republic]], the [[Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic|Belarusian]] and the short-lived [[Galician Soviet Socialist Republic|Galician SSR]], and the [[Jewish Autonomous Oblast]]. Educational autonomy for Jews in several countries (notably [[Poland]]) after [[World War I]] led to an increase in formal Yiddish-language education, more uniform orthography, and to the 1925 founding of the Yiddish Scientific Institute, [[YIVO]]. Yiddish emerged as the national language of a large Jewish community in Eastern Europe that rejected [[Zionism]] and sought Jewish cultural autonomy in Europe. It also contended with Modern Hebrew as a literary language among Zionists. In [[Vilna]] there was intense debate over which language should take primacy, [[Hebrew]] or Yiddish<ref>[http://www1.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/vilna/before/hebrew_or_yiddish.asp?WT.mc_id=wiki Hebrew or Yiddish?] in the online exhibition [http://www1.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/vilna/index.asp?WT.mc_id=wiki The Jerusalem of Lithuania: The Story of the Jewish Community of Vilna] by [[Yad Vashem]]</ref>

Yiddish changed significantly during the 20th century. [[Michael Wex]] writes, "As increasing numbers of Yiddish speakers moved from the Slavic-speaking East to Western Europe and the Americas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they were so quick to jettison Slavic vocabulary that the most prominent Yiddish writers of the time—the founders of modern Yiddish literature, who were still living in Slavic-speaking countries—revised the printed editions of their oeuvres to eliminate obsolete and 'unnecessary' Slavisms."<ref>{{cite book |title=[[Born to Kvetch]]: Yiddish Language and Culture in All Its Moods |last=Wex |first=Michael|authorlink=Michael Wex |year=2005 |publisher=St. Martin's Press |page=29 |isbn=0-312-30741-1 }}</ref> The vocabulary used in Israel absorbed many Modern Hebrew words, and there was a similar increase in the English component of Yiddish in the [[United States]] and, to a lesser extent, the [[United Kingdom]]. This has resulted in some difficulty in communication between Yiddish speakers from [[Israel]] and those from other countries.

===Numbers of speakers===
On the eve of [[World War II]], there were 11 to 13 million Yiddish speakers ([[#jacobs2005|Jacobs 2005]]). [[The Holocaust]], however, led to a dramatic, sudden decline in the use of Yiddish, as the extensive Jewish communities, both secular and religious, that used Yiddish in their day-to-day life were largely destroyed. Around five million people—85 percent of the Jews who died in the Holocaust—were speakers of Yiddish.<ref>[[Solomon Birnbaum|Solomo Birnbaum]], ''Grammatik der jiddischen Sprache'' (4., erg. Aufl., Hamburg: Buske, 1984), p. 3.</ref> Although millions of Yiddish speakers survived the war (including nearly all Yiddish speakers in the Americas), further assimilation in countries such as the [[United States]] and the [[Soviet Union]], along with the strictly monolingual stance of the [[Zionist]] movement, led to a decline in the use of Eastern Yiddish. However, the number of speakers within the widely dispersed Orthodox (mainly Hasidic) communities is now increasing. Although used in various countries, Yiddish has attained official recognition as a minority language only in [[Moldova]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], the [[Netherlands]] {{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} and [[Sweden]].

Reports of the number of current Yiddish speakers vary significantly. [[Ethnologue]] estimated in 2009 there were 1,762,320 speakers of Eastern Yiddish,<ref name=Ethnologue/> of which over one-third lived in the United States. In contrast, the [[Modern Language Association]] reports fewer than 200,000 in the United States.<ref>[http://www.mla.org/cgi-shl/docstudio/docs.pl?map_data_results Most spoken languages in the United States], Modern Language Association. Retrieved 17 October2006.</ref> Western Yiddish, which had "several tens of thousands of speakers" on the eve of the Holocaust, is reported by Ethnologue to have had an "ethnic population" of slightly below 50,000 in 2000.<ref name=Ethnologue-western>[http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=yih Yiddish, Western], on Ethnologue. Retrieved 17 October 2006.</ref> Other estimates are also given, for example, of a worldwide Yiddish-speaking population of about two million in 1996 in a report by the [[Council of Europe]].<ref>Emanuelis Zingeris, [http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/WorkingDocs/doc96/EDOC7489.htm Yiddish culture], Council of Europe Committee on Culture and Education Doc. 7489, 12 February 1996. Retrieved 17 October 2006.</ref> Further [[demographics|demographic]] information about the recent status of what is treated as an Eastern-Western dialect continuum is provided in the YIVO ''Language and Cultural Atlas of Ashkenazic Jewry'' (Language and Cultural Atlas of Ashkenazic Jewry).

===Status as a language===
There has been frequent debate about the extent of the linguistic independence of Yiddish from the languages that it absorbed. There has been periodic assertion that Yiddish is a dialect of German, or even "just broken German, more of a linguistic mishmash than a true language".<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/1996/10/29/science/scholars-debate-roots-of-yiddish-migration-of-jews.html?pagewanted=2 "Scholars Debate Roots of Yiddish, Migration of Jews"], George Johnson, ''New York Times'', October 29, 1996</ref> Even when recognized as an autonomous language, it has sometimes been referred to as Judeo-German, along the lines of other Jewish languages like [[Judeo-Persian]] or [[Judeo-French]]. A widely cited summary of attitudes in the 1930s was published by [[Max Weinreich]], quoting a remark by an auditor of one of his lectures: {{lang|yi|אַ שפּראַך איז אַ דיאַלעקט מיט אַן אַרמיי און פֿלאָט}} ('' a shprakh iz a dialekt mit an armey un flot''—"A language is a dialect with an army and navy", facsimile excerpt at<ref>[http://www.bisso.com/ujg_archives/pix/armyNavyFull.jpg a shprakh iz a dialekt mit an armey un flot] Bisso.com</ref> discussed in detail in a [[Language is a dialect with an army and navy|separate article]]). More recently, Prof. Paul Wexler, of Tel Aviv University in [[Israel]], has proposed that Eastern Yiddish should be classified as a Slavic language, formed by the [[relexification]] of Judeo-Slavic dialects by Judeo-German.<ref name="Wexler">{{en icon}} {{cite book |author=Paul Wexler |coauthors= |title=Two-tiered relexification in Yiddish: The Jews, Sorbs, Khazars and the Kiev-Polessian dialects |year=2002 |editor= |pages= |chapter= |chapterurl= |publisher=Mouton de Gruyter | location =Berlin |isbn=3-11-017258-5 |url= |accessdate= }}</ref>

===Israel===
The national languages of Israel are Hebrew and Arabic. The rejection of Yiddish as an alternative reflected the conflict between religious and secular forces. Many in the larger, secular group wanted a new national language to foster a cohesive identity, while traditionally religious Jews desired that Hebrew be respected as a holy language reserved for prayer and religious study. In the early twentieth century, Zionist immigrants in [[Palestine]] tried to eradicate the use of Yiddish among their own population, and make its use socially unacceptable.

This conflict also reflected the opposing views among secular Jews worldwide, one side seeing Hebrew (and Zionism) and the other Yiddish (and [[internationalism (politics)|Internationalism]]) as the means of defining emerging Jewish nationalism. In the 1920s and 1930s, ''gdud meginéy hasafá'', "the language defendants regiment", whose motto was ''ivrí, dabér ivrít'' "Hebrew [i.e. Jew], speak Hebrew!", used to tear down signs written in "foreign" languages and disturb Yiddish theatre gatherings.<ref>Zuckermann, Ghil'ad (2009), [http://www.zuckermann.org/pdf/Hybridity_versus_Revivability.pdf Hybridity versus Revivability: Multiple Causation, Forms and Patterns]. In ''Journal of Language Contact'', Varia 2: 40-67, p. 48.</ref> However, according to linguist [[Ghil'ad Zuckermann]], the members of this group in particular, and the Hebrew revival in general, did not succeed in uprooting Yiddish patterns (as well as the patterns of other European languages Jewish immigrants spoke) within what he calls "Israeli", i.e. [[Modern Hebrew]]. Zuckermann believes that "Israeli does include numerous Hebrew elements resulting from a conscious revival but also numerous pervasive linguistic features deriving from a subconscious survival of the revivalists’ mother tongues, e.g. Yiddish."<ref>Zuckermann, Ghil'ad (2009), [http://www.zuckermann.org/pdf/Hybridity_versus_Revivability.pdf Hybridity versus Revivability: Multiple Causation, Forms and Patterns]. In ''Journal of Language Contact'', Varia 2: 40-67, p. 46.</ref>

In religious circles, it is the Ashkenazi [[Haredi Judaism|Haredi Jews]], particularly the Hasidic Jews and the Lithuanian [[yeshiva]] world (see [[Lithuanian Jews]]), who continue to teach, speak and use Yiddish, making it a language used regularly by hundreds of thousands of Haredi Jews today. The largest of these centers are in [[Bnei Brak]] and [[Jerusalem]].

There is a growing revival of interest in Yiddish culture among secular Israelis, with the flourishing of new proactive cultural organizations like YUNG YiDiSH, as well as [[Yiddish theater]] (usually with simultaneous translation to Hebrew and Russian) and young people are taking university courses in Yiddish, some achieving considerable fluency.<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/news/03/09/yiddish_studies.html Yiddish Studies Thrives at Columbia After More than Fifty Years] – Columbia News.</ref>

===Former Soviet Union===
In the Soviet Union during the 1920s, Yiddish was promoted as the language of the Jewish [[proletariat]]. It was one of the official languages of the [[Byelorussian SSR]], as well as several agricultural districts of the [[Galician SSR]]. A public educational system entirely based on the Yiddish language was established and comprised kindergartens, schools, and higher educational institutions (technical schools, [[rabfak]]s and other university departments). At the same time, Hebrew was considered a [[bourgeois]] language and its use was generally discouraged. The vast majority of the Yiddish-language cultural institutions were closed in the late 1930s along with cultural institutions of other ethnic minorities lacking administrative entities of their own. After the Second World War, growing [[anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] tendencies in Soviet politics drove Yiddish from most spheres. The last Yiddish-language schools, theaters and publications were closed by the end of the 1940s. It continued to be spoken widely for decades, nonetheless, in areas with compact Jewish populations (primarily in Moldova, Ukraine, and to a lesser extent Belarus).

In the former Soviet states, presently active Yiddish authors include Yoysef Burg ([[Chernivtsi]] 1912-2009) and [[Olexander Beyderman|Aleksander Beyderman]] (b. 1949, [[Odessa]]). Publication of an earlier Yiddish periodical ({{lang|yi|דער פֿרײַנד}} - der fraynd; lit. "The Friend"), was resumed in 2004 with {{lang|yi|דער נײַער פֿרײַנד}} (''der nayer fraynd''; lit. "The New Friend", [[St. Petersburg]]).

The Jewish Autonomous Oblast was formed in 1934 in the [[Russian Far East]], with its capital city in Birobidzhan and Yiddish as its official language. The intention was for the Soviet Jewish population to settle there. Jewish cultural life was revived in Birobidzhan much earlier than elsewhere in the Soviet Union. Yiddish theaters began opening in the 1970s. The newspaper {{lang|yi|דער ביראָבידזשאנער שטערן}} ([[Birobidzhaner Shtern|''Der Birobidzhaner Shtern'']]; lit: "The Birobidzhan Star") includes a Yiddish section.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gazetaeao.ru/idish |title=Birobidzhaner Shtern in Yiddish |publisher=Gazetaeao.ru |date= |accessdate=2010-08-07}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> Although the official status of the language was not retained by the Russian Federation, its cultural significance is still recognized and bolstered. The First Birobidzhan International Summer Program for Yiddish Language and Culture was launched in 2007.<ref>{{cite web|last=Rettig |first=Haviv |url=http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1176152810577 |title=Yiddish returns to Birobidzhan | Jewish Features | Jerusalem Post |publisher=Jpost.com |date=2007-04-17 |accessdate=2009-10-18}}</ref>

===Council of Europe===
Several countries which ratified the 1992 [[European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages]] have included Yiddish in the list of their recognized minority languages: the Netherlands (1996), Sweden (2000), Poland (2009), Romania (2008), Bosnia and Herzegovina (2010). In 2005, Ukraine did not mention Yiddish as such, but "the language(s) of the Jewish ethnic minority".<ref>[http://conventions.coe.int/Treaty/Commun/ListeDeclarations.asp?NT=148&CM=8&DF=23/01/05&CL=ENG&VL=1 European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.

====Sweden====
[[File:Jidische.Folkschtime.jpg|thumb|Banner from the first issue of the ''Jidische Folkschtime'' (Yiddish People's Voice), published in Stockholm, 12 January 1917.]]

At first, in the [[United States]] most Jews were of [[Sephardi Jews|Sephardic]] origin, and hence did not speak Yiddish. It was not until the mid to late 19th century, as first German, then Eastern European, Jews arrived in the nation, that Yiddish became dominant within the immigrant community. This helped to bond Jews from many countries. {{lang|yi|פֿאָרווערטס}} (''forverts'' – [[The Forward|Yiddish Forward]]) was one of seven Yiddish daily newspapers in [[New York City]], and other Yiddish newspapers served as a forum for Jews of all European backgrounds. The ''Yiddish Forward'' still appears weekly and is available in an online edition.<ref>{{yi icon}} [http://yiddish.forward.com/ פֿאָרווערטס]: ''[[The Forward]]'' online.</ref> It remains in wide distribution, together with {{lang|yi|דער אַלגעמיינער זשורנאַל}} (''der algemeyner zhurnal'' – [[Algemeiner Journal]]; ''algemeyner'' = general) a [[Lubavitcher]] newspaper which is also published weekly and appears online.<ref>{{yi icon}} [http://www.algemeiner.com/generic.asp?cat=4 דער אַלגעמיינער זשורנאַל]: ''Algemeiner Journal'' online</ref> The widest-circulation Yiddish newspapers are probably the weekly issues {{lang|yi|[[Der Yid]]}} (דער איד = The Jew) and {{lang|yi|[[Der Blatt]]}} (דער בלאַט; ''blat'' = paper) and {{lang|yi|[[Di Tzeitung]]}} (די צייטונג; = the newspaper) . Several additional newspapers and magazines are in regular production, such as the monthly publications {{lang|yi|דער שטערן}} (Der Shtern; ''shtern'' = star) and {{lang|yi|דער בליק}} (Der Blick; ''blik'' = view). (The romanized titles cited in this paragraph are in the form given on the masthead of each publication and may be at some variance both with the literal Yiddish title and the [[Yiddish orthography#Transliteration|transliteration rules]] otherwise applied in this article.) Thriving Yiddish theater, especially in New York City, kept the language vital. Interest in [[klezmer]] music provided another bonding mechanism.

Most of the Jewish immigrants to the New York metropolitan area during the years of [[Ellis Island]] considered Yiddish their native language; however, native Yiddish speakers tended not to pass the language on to their children, who assimilated and spoke English. For example, [[Isaac Asimov]] states in his autobiography, ''[[In Memory Yet Green]],'' that Yiddish was his first and sole spoken language and remained so for about two years after he emigrated to the United States as a small child. By contrast, Asimov's younger siblings, born in the United States, never developed any degree of fluency in Yiddish.

Many "Yiddishisms," like "Italianisms" and "Spanishisms," entered the spoken [[New York dialect]], often used by Jews and non-Jews alike, unaware of the linguistic origin of the phrases. [[Yiddish words used in English]] were documented extensively by [[Leo Rosten]] in ''[[The Joys of Yiddish]]''; see also the [[list of English words of Yiddish origin]].

In 1976, the Canadian-born American author [[Saul Bellow]] received the [[Nobel Prize in literature]]. He was fluent in Yiddish, and translated several Yiddish poems and stories into English, including Isaac Bashevis Singer's "Gimpel the Fool".

In 1978, the [[Poland|Polish]]-born Yiddish author [[Isaac Bashevis Singer]], a resident of the United States, received the [[Nobel Prize in literature]].

Legal scholars [[Eugene Volokh]] and [[Alex Kozinski]] argue that Yiddish is “supplanting Latin as the spice in American legal argot.”<ref>{{cite journal |last=Volokh |first=Eugene |authorlink= |coauthors=Kozinski, Alex |year=1993 |month= |title=Lawsuit, Shmawsuit |journal=Yale Law Journal |volume=103 |issue=2 |pages=463–467 |doi=10.2307/797101|accessdate= |quote= |publisher=The Yale Law Journal Company, Inc. |postscript=. |jstor=797101 }}</ref> Note: an updated version of the article appears on Professor Volokh's UCLA web page.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.law.ucla.edu/volokh/yiddish.htm |title=Judge Alex Kozinski & Eugene Volokh, "Lawsuit, Shmawsuit" <*> |publisher=Law.ucla.edu |date= |accessdate=2009-10-18}}</ref>

====Present U.S. speaker population====
In the [[United States Census, 2000|2000 census]], 178,945 people in the United States reported speaking Yiddish at home. Of these speakers, 113,515 lived in [[New York]] (63.43% of American Yiddish speakers); 18,220 in [[Florida]] (10.18%); 9,145 in [[New Jersey]] (5.11%); and 8,950 in [[California]] (5.00%). The remaining states with speaker populations larger than 1,000 are [[Pennsylvania]] (5,445), [[Ohio]] (1,925), [[Michigan]] (1,945), [[Massachusetts]] (2,380), [[Maryland]] (2,125), [[Illinois]] (3,510), [[Connecticut]] (1,710), and [[Arizona]] (1,055). The population is largely elderly: 72,885 of the speakers were older than 65, 66,815 were between 18 and 64, and only 39,245 were age 17 or lower.<ref>[http://www.mla.org/map_data_states&lang_id=609&mode=lang_tops&a=&ea=&order=r Language by State: Yiddish], [[Modern Language Association|MLA]] Language Map Data Center, based on U.S. Census data. Retrieved 25 December 2006.</ref>
In the six years since the [[United States Census, 2000|2000 census]], the 2006 [[American Community Survey]] reflected an estimated 15 percent decline of people speaking Yiddish at home in the U.S. to 152,515.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/DTTable?_bm=y&-ds_name=ACS_2006_EST_G00_&-_geoSkip=0&-CONTEXT=dt&-mt_name=ACS_2006_EST_G2000_C16001&-redoLog=false&-_skip=0&-geo_id=01000US&-_showChild=Y&-format=&-_lang=en&-_toggle=ACS_2006_EST_G2000_C16001 |title=Detailed Tables – American FactFinder |publisher=Factfinder.census.gov |date= |accessdate=2009-10-18}}</ref>

There are a few predominantly [[Hasidic]] communities in the United States in which Yiddish remains the majority language. [[Kiryas Joel, New York]] is one such; in the 2000 census, nearly 90% of residents of Kiryas Joel reported speaking Yiddish at home.<ref>[http://www.mla.org/census_data_results&state_id=36&place_id=39853 Data center results] [[Modern Language Association]]</ref>

===United Kingdom===
There are well over 30,000 Yiddish speakers in the United Kingdom, and several thousand children now have Yiddish as a first language. The largest group of Yiddish speakers in Britain reside in the [[Stamford Hill]] district of North London, but there are sizeable communities in [[Golders Green]], [[Stoke Newington]], [[Greater Manchester]] (in parts of [[Salford, Greater Manchester|Salford]]; mainly in the [[Broughton, Greater Manchester|Broughton]] and [[Kersal]] areas, North Manchester and in the north Manchester suburb of [[Prestwich]]) and [[Gateshead]].<ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article1038349.ece Times on Yiddish in the UK]{{accessdate|2011-01-18}}</ref>
The Yiddish readership in the UK is mainly reliant upon imported material from the [[United States]] and [[Israel]] for newspapers, magazines and other periodicals. However, the London-based weekly ''[[The Jewish Tribune (UK)|Jewish Tribune]]'', has a small section in Yiddish called {{lang|yi|אידישע טריבונע}} ''Idishe Tribune''.

===Religious communities===
[[File:Brooklyn Posters 1.jpg|thumb|A typical poster-hung wall in Jewish [[Brooklyn]], New York]]

The major exception to the decline of spoken Yiddish can be found in [[Haredi Judaism|Haredi]] communities all over the world. In some of the more closely knit such communities Yiddish is spoken as a home and schooling language, especially in Hasidic, [[Litvish]] or [[Yeshivish]] communities such as [[Brooklyn]]'s [[Borough Park]], [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn|Williamsburg]] and [[Crown Heights, Brooklyn|Crown Heights]], and in the communities of [[Monsey, New York|Monsey]], [[Kiryas Joel, New York|Kiryas Joel]] and [[New Square, New York|New Square]] in [[New York State]] (over 88% of the population of Kiryas Joel is reported to speak Yiddish at home.<ref>[http://www.mla.org/census_data_results&state_id=36&place_id=39853 MLA Data Center Results: Kiryas Joel, New York], Modern Language Association. Retrieved 17 October 2006.</ref>) Also in [[New Jersey]] Yiddish is widely spoken mostly in [[Lakewood, NJ|Lakewood]] but also in smaller towns with [[yeshivos]] such as [[Passaic, NJ|Passaic]], [[Teaneck, NJ|Teaneck]] and elsewhere. Yiddish is also widely spoken in the [[Jewish Community of Antwerp|Antwerp Jewish community]] and in Haredi communities such as the ones in [[London]], [[Manchester]] and [[Montreal]]. Yiddish is also spoken in many communities throughout [[Israel]]. Among most Ashkenazi Haredim, Hebrew is generally reserved for prayer, while Yiddish is used for religious studies as well as a home and business language. In Israel, however, Haredim commonly speak Hebrew, with the notable exception of many Hasidic communities. However, some Haredim who use Modern Hebrew also understand Yiddish. There are some who send their children to schools in which the primary language of instruction is Yiddish. Members of movements such as [[Satmar (Hasidic dynasty)|Satmar]] Hasidism, who view the commonplace use of Hebrew as a form of Zionism, use Yiddish almost exclusively.

Hundreds of thousands of young children around the globe have been, and are still, taught to translate the texts of the [[Torah]] into Yiddish. This process is called {{lang|yi|טײַטשן}} (''taytshn'')—"translating" . Most Ashkenazi [[yeshiva]]s' highest level lectures in Talmud and [[Halakha]] are delivered in Yiddish by the [[rosh yeshiva]]s as well as ethical talks of [[mussar movement|mussar]]. Hasidic [[rebbe]]s generally use only Yiddish to converse with their followers and to deliver their various Torah talks, classes, and lectures. The linguistic style and vocabulary of Yiddish have influenced the manner in which many [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox Jews]] who attend yeshivas speak English. This usage is distinctive enough that it has been dubbed "[[Yeshivish (dialect)|Yeshivish]]".

While Hebrew remains the language of [[Jewish prayer]], the Hasidim have mixed some Yiddish into their Hebrew, and are also responsible for a significant secondary religious literature written in Yiddish. For example, the tales about the [[Baal Shem Tov]] were written largely in Yiddish. As well as the Torah Talks of the late [[Lubavitch]] leaders are published in their original form, Yiddish. In addition, some prayers, such as the [[God of Abraham|Got fun Avrohom]], were composed and are recited in Yiddish.

Moreover, some Hasidic girls in the [[Diaspora]] are not taught Hebrew at all, and therefore do not understand either ancient or modern Hebrew. Even those who are taught parts of the [[Bible]] will still use prayer books with Yiddish translation and commentaries, as their comprehension of Hebrew is deficient.

There has been a resurgence in Yiddish learning in recent times among many from around the world with Jewish ancestry. The language which had lost many of its native speakers during WWII has been making somewhat of a comeback.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jewishsf.com/content/2-0-/module/displaystory/story_id/9529/edition_id/182/format/html/displaystory.html |title=Yiddish making a comeback, as theater group shows | j. the Jewish news weekly of Northern California |publisher=Jewishsf.com |date=1998-09-18 |accessdate=2009-10-18}}</ref> In Poland, which traditionally had Yiddish speaking communities, a particular museum has begun to revive Yiddish education and culture.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/09/30/poland.jewish.revival/index.html |title=Poland's Jews alive and kicking |publisher=CNN.com |date=2008-10-06 |accessdate=2009-10-18}}</ref> Located in Kraków, the [[Galicia Jewish Museum]] offers classes in Yiddish Language Instruction and workshops on Yiddish Songs.

Many of these programs are held during the summer and are attended by Yiddish enthusiasts from around the world.

'''Alexandra Danielle''' "'''Lexi'''" '''Ainsworth''' (born October 28, 1992) is an [[United States|American]] [[actress]]. She is known for her role as [[Kristina Davis]] on ''[[General Hospital]]''.

==Personal life and career==
Ainsworth was born in [[Oklahoma City, Oklahoma]]. At age 6, she began dancing on stage at the local ballet company.

This led her to appear in several theater productions, such as ''[[The Wizard of Oz (adaptations)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' (playing a munchkin) and ''[[To Kill A Mockingbird]]'' (portraying Scout). However, it was after attending a film camp in [[New York]] that Lexi developed an interest in film and television acting. She then headed to [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] where she enrolled in an acting camp program. A talent agency noticed Ainsworth, and they sent her out to audition for her first national commercial, subsequently for [[Barbie dolls]].

After shooting various commercials, Ainsworth acquired a role in the short film ''Caroline Crossing,'' and soon after, she portrayed Grace Budd in the film ''[[The Gray Man (2007 film)|The Gray Man]]''.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1943692/bio]</ref>

In June 2009, Ainsworth joined the cast of ''[[General Hospital]]'' as [[Kristina Davis]]. On October 7, 2011, she confirmed that she had shot her last scenes in the role, and her last airdate was November 4.

In 2012, Lexi will be appearing in the film ''So This Is Christmas''. {{citation needed|date=November 2011}}

==History==
[[Image:Odyssey-1.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The Odyssey Network logo]]

{{Main|Vision Interfaith Satellite Network|American Christian Television System}}

In the [[United States]], the network began as two separate religious cable channels, the [[American Christian Television System]] (ACTS) and the [[Vision Interfaith Satellite Network]] (VISN). These two networks shared time on the same channel beginning in 1992.<ref name="RBc24_9">{{cite journal |year=1992 |month=October |title=VISN, ACTS Sign Agreement To Share Single Cable Signal |journal=Religious Broadcasting |issn=0034-4079 |page=32 |publisher=[[National Religious Broadcasters]] |volume=24 |issue=9}}</ref> Under the original timeshare agreement, the network was believed to be called ''VISN/ACTS''. Each station was provided time for its programming blocks, and would use its own logo.

VISN began broadcast in 1988 aired about 16 hours a day and had religious programs from mainline Protestant denominations like the [[United Methodist Church]], the [[Evangelical Lutheran Church in America]], [[United Church of Christ]], and others. [[Roman Catholic]], [[LDS Church]], [[Jewish]] and [[Islamic]] faiths also provided programming.<ref name="CYTY_39_11">{{cite journal |last=Calian |first=Carnegie Samuel |title=Redeeming the wasteland? Christian TV increasingly uses entertainment to spread its message. |journal=[[Christianity Today]] |date=1995-10-02 |volume=39 |issue=11 |pages=92–103 |issn=0009-5753}}</ref> VISN aired in mornings and evenings. ACTS commenced operations in 1984 and aired programming from [[Evangelicalism|evangelical]] and [[fundamentalist]] non- [[charismatic]] Christian groups like [[Southern Baptist Convention]], [[Christian Reformed Church in North America|Christian Reformed Church]], [[Association of Regular Baptist Churches]], as well as well known evangelists like [[Jerry Falwell]], [[Charles Stanley]], [[D James Kennedy]], among others. Both channels had several hours a week of religious children's programs, some of which overlapped. These shows included ''[[Sunshine Factory]]'', ''[[Joy Junction]]'', ''[[Davey and Goliath]]'', ''[[JOT (TV series)|Jot]]'', and others.

In 1993, the network was renamed "The Faith and Values Channel". It began to phase out religious programming in 1994, when a few [[secular]] shows were added, such as exercise shows, health and [[cooking shows]], and family-friendly dramas and movies. More secular programming was added in 1996. At that time religious programming went down to about 10 hours a day. Faith And Values was then renamed 'The Odyssey Channel", using the domain name Odysseyfamily.com for posting TV listings.

[[Crown Media]] Holdings and [[The Jim Henson Company]] bought stakes in Odyssey in November 1998. The Hallmark/Henson version of Odyssey launched on April 4, 1999, and the airing of religious programs went down to four hours a day. Some classic sitcoms, children's programming, and more family movies were added. Henson sold its interest in the channel to Crown Media Holdings in 2000. Odyssey then dropped much of the children's programming and cut back the religious shows to a few hours on Sundays.

===History as Hallmark Channel===
The channel was officially renamed ''The Hallmark Channel'' on August 5, 2001.<ref name=milestones>[http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/PageList/OneColTemplate.aspx?PageID=129 Hallmark Channel Press site: Company Milestones]</ref> The channel completely dropped religious programing altogether, but continued to focus on family and drama shows, drama movies, classic sitcoms, and other general entertainment. A remnant of the VISN network continues to own about 5% of the channel, and still produces some content for them.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Downey |first=Kevin |title=Spiritual Syndicator's Gamble |journal=[[Broadcasting & Cable]] |date=2008-02-11 |page=20}}</ref> The change meant that ''The Kermit Channel'' in Asia was also changed to ''The Hallmark Channel'', reducing the former to a three-hour block on Hallmark.<ref>[http://www.muppetcentral.com/news/2001/060401.shtml Muppet Central News - Kermit Channel goes off the air]</ref>

Hallmark Channel aired an original weekday morning show entitled "[[New Morning]]" in 2002 and added a Sunday morning version, hosted by [[Naomi Judd]], entitled "[[Naomi's New Morning]]" in 2005. The show was pulled from the schedule in early 2007.

David Evans was CEO of the newly-developing network, until he resigned in May 2006.<ref>{{cite web|work=Encyclopedia.com: Daily Variety|title=Hallmark Exec folding cards|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-154815540.html}}</ref> The network was without a formal CEO until October 2006, when Henry Schleiff was appointed as the new [[CEO]], overseeing all of the networks’ divisions.<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/publish/pr/home/corporate/executive_bios_/henry_s_schleiff.html Hallmark Channel Press site: Bio Page]</ref> Prior to this position, Schleiff was Chairman and CEO of [[Court TV]].<ref>[http://www.unicefusa.org/about/leadership/board/henry-schleiff.html Unicef contributor's profile]</ref>

In January 2007, Hallmark Channel dropped the Hallmark crown from its logo, but still uses it in certain places on-air, and in other countries. In 2008, Hallmark Channel unveiled a new branding campaign with predominantly yellow-ish gold coloring, a stylized logo, and a new slogan, "Make Yourself At Home". In January 2010, their on-air branding was revamped for HD broadcasting. A predominatly lavender color scheme, 3D renderings of the Hallmark script logo, and relatively simple elements make up the new look, including a new slogan, "Celebrate Life's Moments." Also, that month, the crown was reinstated on their on-screen bug for the 100th anniversary of Hallmark and, as of June 2010, has returned to full time use on the bug, promos and their website.

On May 27, 2007, Hallmark Channel launched "Watch With Me", a new national public affairs initiative aimed to promote programming for families to watch together, and "to spend more time together."<ref name="milestones" />

In February 2008, the [[Hillary Clinton]] campaign purchased an hour of Hallmark Channel's primetime under a [[informercial|paid programming]] arrangement on February 4, 2008, the day before the multi-state "[[Super Tuesday (2008)]]" primaries.<ref>[http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/cabletv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003705031 Clinton Buys Block on Hallmark] [[Mediaweek]] 2008-01-31</ref>

On May 6, 2009, Henry Schlieff stepped down as CEO. William J. Abbott, Executive Vice President of Advertising Sales stepped in to the position the same day. Both parties said Schleiff's departure was amicable.<ref>{{cite web | work=Hallmark Channel Press Site | title=Crown Media Holdings President and CEO Henry Schleiff To Leave Hallmark Channel|date=5-6-09|url=http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/publish/pr/home/corporate/press_releases_1/press_release_050609.html}}</ref> Later that month it was announced that Crown Media Holdings had put the channel up for sale, which was burdened with over $1 billion in debt for the network. After over a month with no prospects for buying the network, it was taken off the block; the board blamed the large debt for the lack of interest. CEO William J. Abbott decided that Crown Media Holdings would take the network in a younger, "lighter" direction, while continuing to cater to baby boomers.<ref name=sale>{{cite web|work=Broadcasting Cable.com|title=Hallmark: Change is in the Cards|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/295389-Hallmark_Change_Is_in_the_Cards.php}}</ref>

== Synopsis ==
On the wedding day of [[Snow White]] ([[Ginnifer Goodwin]]), and [[Prince Charming]] ([[Joshua Dallas]]), [[Queen (Snow White)|the Evil Queen]] ([[Lana Parrilla]]) arrives and delivers an ominous threat about a powerful curse she intends to release upon them. Some time later, a pregnant Snow White is worried about the curse and visits [[Rumplestiltskin]] ([[Robert Carlyle]]) who issues a prophecy that the Queen's curse will take them all someplace terrible where there will be no happy endings. He also reveals that Snow White's unborn daughter, Emma, will return when she is 28 years old to rescue them, thus beginning the final battle with the Queen. On advice from the [[Blue Fairy]], Geppetto ([[Tony Amendola]]) and [[Pinocchio]] create a magical cupboard which will allow one person to escape the Queen's curse. On the day Snow White gives birth to her daughter, the Queen's curse strikes. Prince Charming places their daughter in the magic cupboard, but is mortally wounded in the process. The Queen stands triumphantly over Snow White and Prince Charming as the curse takes them to "someplace horrible".

In present day [[Boston]], Emma Swan ([[Jennifer Morrison]]) lives a lonely existence working as a [[bail bondsman]] and [[bounty hunter]]. She is approached by a ten year old boy, Henry, who identifies himself as her son, who she had given up for adoption as a teenager. Not wanting a relationship with him, Emma agrees to drive him back to his home in Storybrooke, Maine. Along the way, Henry shows her a large book of fairy tales he has, insisting that all of the stories in it are real. When they arrive in Storybrooke, Henry informs her that everyone in town is in reality a fairy tale character, exiled by the curse and with no memory of their real identities. This includes his therapist, who is really [[Jiminy Cricket]], and his teacher Mary Margaret Blanchard, who is really Snow White. He claims that time is frozen in Storybrooke and the people are unable to leave, but that the curse will be broken by Emma. A skeptical Emma returns Henry to his adopted mother, the town Mayor, who is really the Evil Queen. When Henry soon runs away again, Emma finds him and decides to stay in Storybrooke temporarily. This decision causes the hands of the town clock, previously frozen, to begin moving again.

== Production ==
[[Adam Horowitz (screenwriter)|Adam Horowitz]] and [[Edward Kitsis]] conceived the show seven years prior joining the writing staff of ''[[Lost (TV series)|Lost]]'', but wanted to wait until that series was over to focus on this project.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2010/10/exclusive-lost-exec-producers-horowitz-kitsis-sell-pilot-to-abc.html |title=EXCLUSIVE: 'Lost' exec producers Horowitz, Kitsis sell pilot to ABC|date=October 28, 2010|last=Levine|first=Stuart|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|accessdate=August 2, 2011}}</ref> The script was picked up to [[television pilot|pilot]] on February 4, 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deadline.com/2011/02/abc-picks-up-marc-cherrys-hallelujah-pilot/ |title=UPDATE: ABC Loads Heavy Drama Guns, Orders Pilots From Marc Cherry, Oren Peli, Darren Star, 'Twilight' Producers, Mark Gordon And 'Lost' Alums|date=February 4, 2011| last=Andreeva| first=Nellie| work=Deadline.com| accessdate=August 2, 2011}}</ref> [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] commissioned a series, airing from fall 2011 on Sundays at 8/7 Central.<ref name=hr/>

In May 2011, [[Jane Espenson]] was added as a co-executive [[Television producer|producer]] and [[Liz Tigelaar]] was brought on as a consulting [[Television producer|producer]].<ref name=hr>{{cite web|url= http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jane-espenson-liz-tigelaar-join-193496 |title= Jane Espenson, Liz Tigelaar Join ABC’s ''Once Upon a Time'' |date=May 31, 2011| last=Goldberg| first= Lesley | work= The Hollywood Reporter | accessdate=August 12, 2011}}</ref> [[Damon Lindelof]] served as a consultant on the show's pilot. Kitsis described Lindelof as his and Horowitz's "godfather", while Horowitz said that Lindelof's "name isn't on the show, but his DNA is in it," and that he will continue to advise the two.<ref name=tvguide/> They also noted that Disney has allowed them access to their fairy tale characters for use in the series. "They've given us license," Kitsis said. "I could be wrong, but I think this is the first time anyone's shown Snow White with a sword, or pregnant."<ref name=tvguide>{{cite news|url=http://www.tvguide.com/News/Damon-Lindelof-Once-Upon-A-Time-ABC-1036165.aspx|title=Once Upon A Time Producers: Damon Lindelof's DNA Runs Through Our Show|work=[[TV Guide]]|accessdate=2011-08-26|date=2011-08-07|author=Martin, Denise}}</ref>

Both Horowitz and Kitsis later emphasized that the series will focus more on the characters themselves and won't feature a "complex" storyline, which reportedly was the primary focus. "We don't want this to be a mythology show," said Kitsis. "It's about characters and characters first."<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/s181/once-upon-a-time/news/a337329/once-upon-a-time-execs-the-show-is-about-character.html "'Once Upon a Time' execs: 'The show is about character'"] from Digital Spy (August 26, 2011)</ref>

On September 27, 2011, the producers made some changes in the casting department, with [[Kristin Bauer|Kristin Bauer van Straten]] replacing [[Paula Marshall]] as Maleficent after revealing that it was going in a different direction. Marshall was originally tapped for the role in June 2011.<ref>[http://www.aoltv.com/2011/07/27/paula-marshall-to-work-her-magic-on-once-upon-a-time/ "EXCLUSIVE: Paula Marshall to Work Her Magic on 'Once Upon a Time'"] from AOL TV (June 27, 2011)</ref>

==Connections==
The show contains multiple references to ''Lost'' and is expected to be a theme throughout the series; there are four references in the pilot: the smoke monster engulfing the Enchanted Forest, Emma's eye-opening after she wakes up, Regina's address number of her home (108) and the town clock being stuck at 8:15 (the same number as the doomed airline flight in the aforementioned series).<ref name=tca/> The show also has a similar premise to [[Bill Willingham]]'s comic series ''[[Fables (comics)|Fables]]''.<ref name=tca/> Horowitz and Kitsis have "read a couple issues," of ''Fables'' but state that while the two concepts are "in the same playground," they believe they are "telling a different story."<ref name=tca>{{cite news|url=http://www.tvline.com/2011/08/5-real-truths-once-upon-a-time/|title=Real Truths Behind ABC's Once Upon a Time (Including That Pesky Fables Comparison)|work=[[TVLine]]|accessdate=2011-08-26|date=2011-08-07|author=Webb Mitovich, Matt; Masters, Megan}}</ref> The storyline also seems drawn from the Disney film ''[[Enchanted (film)|Enchanted]]'', and is also reminiscent of ''[[The 10th Kingdom]]'', a 2000 [[RHI Entertainment|Hallmark Entertainment]] mini-series produced for [[NBC]].

==Critical reception==
Even before its debut, the series has received positive feedback from critics who have seen the pilot. Among the favorable reviews:
*[[E!]]'s [[Kristin dos Santos]] cites the show as one of the five new shows of the 2011-12 season to watch.<ref>[http://www.eonline.com/news/watch_with_kristin/five_fall_shows_we_love_once_upon_time/260139#ixzz1WYRkZS5u "Five Fall Shows We Love: Once Upon a Time Is Magic. Period."] from E! Online (August 29, 2011)</ref>
*Matthew Gilbert of ''The [[Boston Globe]]'' gave the show a "C+" grade commenting "From a pair of [[Lost (TV series)|''Lost'']] producers, this is a love-or-hate proposition. The ambition is impressive, as it asks us to imagine Goodwin’s Snow White and Parrilla’s Evil Queen as moderns. But Morrison is a wooden lead, and the back stories - a random collection of fairy tales - don’t promise to surprise."<ref>{{cite journal|last=Gilbert|first=Matthew|title=Which new fall series make the grade?|journal=The Boston Globe|date=September 4, 2011|url=http://articles.boston.com/2011-09-04/yourtown/30113340_1_bunnies-concept-rachel-bilson/7|accessdate=September 14, 2011}}</ref>
*In a review from the ''[[St. Louis Post-Dispatch]]'', TV critic Gail Pennington hailed it as one of the "Most Promising Show of The Fall," and unlike Gilbert, had high marks for Morrison.<ref>[http://www.stltoday.com/entertainment/television/gail-pennington/article_5094a078-95af-576b-b934-1cf3dec5e73f.html "A sneak peek at the fall TV season"] by Gail Pennington, ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'' (July 24, 2011)</ref>
*''[[USA Today]]'s'' Robert Blanco has placed the series on its top ten list, declaring that "There's nothing else on the air quite like it."<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/story/2011-09-08/Fall-TV-preview-The-new-seasons-top-10/50329044/1?csp=obinsite "Fall TV preview: The new season's top 10"] from ''[[USA Today]]'' (September 8, 2011)</ref>
*[[Perez Hilton]], in his review, had great things to say about the series after seeing the first 9 minutes of the pilot: "Simply put, it's magical!"<ref>[http://perezhilton.com/2011-10-20-once-upon-a-time-abc-tv-show-first-nine-9-minutes "Watch The First 9 Minutes of Once Upon A Time!"] from [[Perez Hilton]].com (October 20, 2011)</ref>

'''''Once Upon a Time''''' is an upcoming American [[fantasy]]/[[drama]] [[television series]] to air on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. ABC announced on May 17, 2011, that the series will air on Sunday nights in the 8 pm (ET)/7 pm (CT) time slot. It is currently expected to debut on October 23, 2011.<ref name=abcpremieres>{{cite web|last=Seidman|first=Robert|date=June 27, 2011|title=ABC Announces Fall Series Premiere Dates: Late Starts for 'Once Upon a Time,' 'Man Up'|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/06/27/abc-announces-fall-series-premiere-dates-late-starts-for-once-upon-a-time-man-up/96596/|work=TV by the Numbers|accessdate=June 27, 2011}}</ref>

== Synopsis ==
The series is loosely inspired by the classic [[fairy tale]] stories except set in the present day, hence [[Once upon a time|the series name]]. The stories hold a key to the mystery that will draw a bail bonds collector and the son that she gave up for adoption 10 years earlier to a New England town called Storybrooke, [[Maine]]. This town is actually a parallel world in which fairy tale characters look like normal people and don't remember their true identities or anything about their true lives.

== Cast and characters==
* [[Jennifer Morrison]] as Emma Swan: a bail bonds collector who learns that she holds the key to saving the Real World and the Enchanted Forest.
* [[Jared Gilmore]] as Henry: Emma's son who was given up by his mother ten years earlier. He finds his mother and convinces her to help him, since Emma is a key figure in the stories, as he carries with him a book of fairy tales that holds the answer to saving the Enchanted Forest.
* [[Ginnifer Goodwin]] as [[Snow White]]/Sister Mary Margaret Blanchard: a young princess and Emma's mother who becomes Henry's school teacher in the Real World.
* [[Joshua Dallas]] as [[Prince Charming]]/John Doe: Emma's father who becomes an amnesiac in the Real World.
* [[Lana Parrilla]] as [[Queen (Snow White)|The Evil Queen]]/Regina: the vain and jealous antagonist of the [[Snow White]] fairy tale who becomes Henry's foster mother and Storybrooke's mayor in the Real World.
* [[Jamie Dornan]] as Sheriff Graham.
* [[Raphael Sbarge]] as [[Jiminy Cricket]]/Archie: the cricket from ''[[Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinocchio]]''.
* [[Robert Carlyle]] as [[Rumplestiltskin]]/Mr. Gold.
* [[Giancarlo Esposito]] as the Magic Mirror/Sydney: A spirit imprisoned by the Evil Queen who becomes a reporter from Storybrooke's ''The Daily Mirror'' in the Real World.<ref name=MagicMirror>{{cite web|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|title=TV BITS: Giancarlo Esposito To Join ABC Series, Howie Mandel To Produce Reality Format, Ben Silveran To Publish Comic|url=http://www.deadline.com/2011/07/tv-bits-giancarlo-esposito-to-join-abc-series-howie-mandel-to-produce-reality-format-ben-silveran-to-publish-comic/|work=Deadline.com|publisher=PMC|date=July 18, 2011|accessdate=July 18, 2011}}</ref>

==Series synopsis==
'''Bridget Kelly''' (Sarah Michelle Gellar, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") is a recovering addict, struggling to turn her life around. She's six months sober, and beginning to get back on track, when she witnesses a professional hit. She's placed in federal protection under the watch of '''Victor Machado''' (Nestor Carbonell, "Lost"), an agent determined to see that justice is done. But Bridget knows that Victor can't keep her safe and she flees, telling no one, not even her close friend and Narcotics Anonymous sponsor '''Malcolm Ward''' (Mike Colter, "The Good Wife"). Hoping to buy some time, Bridget contacts her identical twin sister '''Siobhan Martin''' (also played by Gellar), and joins her in New York City, reuniting with her for the first time in six years. Siobhan is fabulously wealthy, with a strikingly handsome husband, '''Andrew Martin''' (Ioan Gruffudd, "The Fantastic Four") - who has no idea that Bridget exists. When Siobhan suddenly disappears, seemingly taking her own life, Bridget makes the split decision to take on her sister's identity.

Bridget immediately discovers that Siobhan has been living a life of incredible luxury, one that seems like a fantasy - but nothing and no one is what they appear to be. Andrew and Siobhan's seemingly picture-perfect relationship is icy and irreparably damaged. Even Andrew's troubled teenage daughter, '''Juliet Martin''' (Zoey Deutsch, "The Suite Life on Deck"), resents her stepmother, and blames her for the strained relationship she has with her father.

Bridget is plunged into a glamorous world unlike anything she's ever known, and as she tries to maintain her façade as Siobhan, she finds her twin has been hiding her own dangerous secrets. Bridget meets Siobhan's best friend, '''Gemma Butler''' (Tara Summers, "Boston Legal"), a successful architect and interior designer - only to be horrified when she discovers Siobhan has been having a long-time affair with Gemma's husband, '''Henry Butler''' (Kristoffer Polaha, "Life Unexpected"). Henry is in love with Siobhan, and is hurt and confused by her sudden personality change.

Although Bridget has gone to extraordinary lengths to leave her past behind, Agent Machado is not giving up the chase. She is the key witness to his murder investigation, and he is determined to find her. But when an attempt is made on her life, Bridget discovers that living as Siobhan is no less dangerous than the old life she is trying to escape.

Bridget must now try to unravel the mystery of who is trying to murder Siobhan, and why. She must constantly be on guard to keep her true identity hidden, and soon begins to realize that the secrets run even deeper than she imagined. Siobhan is alive - and she has her own plans in motion for Bridget and her former life. Like her sister, Siobhan has also left her life behind, but she doesn't just want a second chance...she wants revenge. <ref name=details>{{cite web|url=http://www.ksitetv.com/7426/the-cws-spoilery-new-ringer-description/|title=Ringer Official Description|publisher=cwtv.com|accessdate=2011-08-18}}</ref>

== Premise ==
Mike Ross ([[Patrick J. Adams]]) is a brilliant college dropout. Mike's childhood dreams of becoming a lawyer are derailed after unforeseen circumstances lead him to drop out of college. Naturally intelligent and with an [[eidetic memory]], Mike makes a living taking tests for other people, particularly LSATs and bar exams. Harvey Specter is one of New York City's top attorneys and has recently been promoted to partner at his firm and is forced by company policy to hire an associate. After accidentally running into Mike, Harvey is impressed by the younger man's quick wits, his encyclopedic knowledge of the law, and his genuine desire to be an attorney, and hires him. Due to the fact that Mike lacks a law degree, and because of firm policy which favors Harvard alumns, they both pretend that Mike is a Harvard graduate.

At the firm, Mike is continuously hounded by junior partner Louis Litt ([[Rick Hoffman]]), a rival of Harvey's who is suspicious of Mike's credentials. However, he is befriended by Rachel ([[Meghan Markle]]) a [[paralegal]] whose testing anxiety has prevented her from becoming a lawyer, and the two soon develop a mutual attraction. Mike and Harvey often come into conflict over the Mike's naivete and ethical scruples and Harvey's hard charging and seemingly uncaring demeanor.

==Series synopsis==
Twin sisters Bridget and Siobhan (both played by Gellar) have been at odds and find that their lives are both unraveling at the same rate. Bridget, a recovering alcoholic, is on the run from the mob and in order to survive she takes over her twin's life after Siobhan mysteriously disappears overboard during a boat trip the sisters take together. She soon discovers that her estranged sister's life isn't as mundane as she had once thought.<ref name=details>{{cite web|url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/01/26/sarah-michelle-gellar-ringer |title=Sarah Michelle Gellar's new CBS thriller pilot "Ringer": The producer spills details |publisher=insidetv.ew.com |date=2011-01-26 |accessdate=2011-02-10}}</ref>

Eric Charmelo, one of the creators, said of the first season, "At its core… it's a tale of two sisters where one is driven by redemption and one is driven by revenge. We're also playing with the themes of identity and duplicity, so [we're] playing within the conceits of noir. You know, you don't know really who's the femme fatale and who's the mark. Everybody has two faces, and every single one of our characters on the panel has a duplicitous nature. So we love delving into that realm of moral ambiguity."<ref name=details>{{cite web|url=http://www.afterelton.com/tv/2011/07/sarah-michelle-gellar-ringer-cw|title="Ringer" Star Sarah Michelle Gellar Slays With Her Charm |publisher=afterelton.com |date=2011-07-26 |accessdate=2011-08-10}}</ref>

==Series synopsis==
Twin sisters Bridget and Siobhan (both played by Gellar) have been at odds and find that their lives are both unraveling at the same rate. Bridget, a recovering alcoholic, is on the run from the mob and in order to survive she takes over her twin's life after Siobhan mysteriously disappears overboard during a boat trip the sisters take together. She soon discovers that her estranged sister's life isn't as mundane as she had once thought.<ref name=details>{{cite web|url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/01/26/sarah-michelle-gellar-ringer |title=Sarah Michelle Gellar's new CBS thriller pilot "Ringer": The producer spills details |publisher=insidetv.ew.com |date=2011-01-26 |accessdate=2011-02-10}}</ref>

Eric Charmelo, one of the creators, said of the first season, "At its core… it's a tale of two sisters where one is driven by redemption and one is driven by revenge. We're also playing with the themes of identity and duplicity, so [we're] playing within the conceits of noir. You know, you don't know really who's the femme fatale and who's the mark. Everybody has two faces, and every single one of our characters on the panel has a duplicitous nature. So we love delving into that realm of moral ambiguity."<ref name=details>{{cite web|url=http://www.afterelton.com/tv/2011/07/sarah-michelle-gellar-ringer-cw|title="Ringer" Star Sarah Michelle Gellar Slays With Her Charm |publisher=afterelton.com |date=2011-07-26 |accessdate=2011-08-10}}</ref>
