Megan Mullally Coming Back To TV

Alright, let's all just confess...who loved Karen from Will & Grace?!? I did! And I am so happy to hear that she's coming back to TV. Megan Mullally will be playing Alicia Silverstone's bad mom in a new ABC comedy for next fall called Bad Mother's Handbook.

The series, which will receive an official pickup tomorrow at ABC's upfront presentation, centers on a 32-year-old woman (Silverstone) juggling care of her 16-year-old daughter (Arrested Development's Alia Shawkat) and her 48-year-old mother (Mullally).


Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to give this show a try. If Megan is half as hilarious in it as she was in Will & Grace, I think we'll have a winner on our hands :)

I love Megan, and I'm very happy she's coming back! I'm not a big Alicia Silverstone fan, though -- I don't think she's a great actress -- but hopefully she'll surprise me.

Is it just me, or does this sound exactly like Gilmore Girls?

Andrea Andrea said:

Yes, sounds very similar to Gilmore Girls. With the obvious difference of the mother's mother.

I LOVED her in Will and Grace!! this is exciting... I hope it does well

Let's face it.... If it stars Pimple Face Alicia Silverstone, its going to fail. She's an annoying piece of shit.

Sounds like a winner to me.

Sooooooo the grandmother was 16 when she had the daughter who in turn was 16 when she had her daughter.

Elaine Elaine said:

Is their going to be a 4th generation coming as well?
By my calculation the daughter should be preggo shortly!

Mrs. Nordy Mrs. Nordy said:

yep. I will totally watch this.

They could have a show about Megan Mullally flying a spaceship and I would watch it. I just think she can carry anything.

oh, and by the way Will and Grace would have been NOTHING with out Megan and Jack

Tamara Tamara said:

This could be a good show - just hope they don't have Megan do the ridiculous Karen voice. That was hard to listen to for a half-hour!

I missed Karen! glad to see her do something new and I hope the show will come to Europe as well

Olga Olga said:

Never could understand a word she was saying on Will and Grace.

Lara Lara said:

I agree with posters #9 and #10. Both women had babies at 16?

I love Megan Mullally and I normally don't have a problem with the fictionalization of teen pregnancy. I guess it's because my 17 year old niece is starting to have sex that this stuff freaks me out! I realize it's completely the norm these days but that doesn't mean I have to be okay with it!

Uhhhhh...this show was NOT picked up by ABC.

My two fav characters in sitcom history: Suzanne Sugarbaker and Karen Walker. I want a sitcom to star Delta Burke and Megan as sisters. Thats all I want.

I LOOOVE MM!! She and Jack definitely were huge on Will and Grace. I would watch her do anything. I actually enjoyed her short lived talk show. A comedic genious, this woman. And 'the Karen voice,' so very Karen!!!

joe joe said:

linda linda said:

That's a fantastic idea #17!
