Megan Mullally Coming Back To TV
MAY 13, 2008 AT 07:33 AM
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.
...............WHY!!!
i don't think anything will ever top karen but i'm mullally fan and will be watching. i just hope will and grace fans can accept her as someone other than karen.
Is it just me, or does this sound exactly like Gilmore Girls?
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.
Is their going to be a 4th generation coming as well?
By my calculation the daughter should be preggo shortly!
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
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
Never could understand a word she was saying on Will and Grace.
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!!!
just give karen walker a show. everyone loves karen.
That's a fantastic idea #17!
i hope she does the karen voice
I won't be watching if she does the "Karen Voice".
