Former Will & Grace star Megan Mullally is set to return to television!
The Emmy Award winner will return to TV to join Alicia Silverstone in the new comedy Bad Mother's Handbook.
The show will air on ABC this fall.
Mullally has just sealed the deal to play Alicia's mother.
The show will center on Ailcia as a 32 year old mother, juggling to take care of both her 16 year old daughter and her 48 year old mother.
And yes, we did the math.
So according to the show, Mullally gave birth to Alicia at 16. Then Alicia gave birth to her daughter, played by Alia Shawkat of Arrested Development, at 16.
Gee, we wonder if the plot will have anything to do with Alia having a baby at 16 as well????
They should have just cast Jamie Lynn Spears for the role! She would be natural.

Last
Jamie-Lynne isnt a mum yet you stupid puff.
I think it's great! As long as it's not total-bashing of teen moms, It's cool with me…
first??????
HOTT!!
Much as I find it interesting that the Mom (Megan Mullaly) has a baby at 16…in the book she was 48 and the baby was adopted. Take that! I read the book.
I love her!! Im seeing her on broadway on thursday!!! This new show sounds promising, Cher from Clueless, and Karen from Will and Grace whtat more could a gay man ask for.. I hope she uses the Karen voice on the show
Sounds like a cute show.
"Science Confirms What I've Seen in My Own Life as Well as in the Lives of Thousands of Others Who Have Left the Homosexual Lifestyle," Cantu Says
WASHINGTON, April 22 /PRNewswire/ — " Scientists are finally telling us what we've always known. There is absolutely no scientific proof of a 'gay gene,'" said Family Research Council Policy Analyst Yvette Cantu Thursday.
Its your choice…is a hairy ass really that sexy?
FIRST????
You are losers for playing this dumb ass not even game!
LOVE THE TITS! Would def. put it in her butt!
She is way sexy for an old broad. Even with the fag hagginess and that VOICE. I'd still love to do her every which way.
You didn't do the math moron. Last you posted about this, you only figured out that one of them was pregnant at 16, and WE the people who view this site with minimal intellegence did the math for you. But go ahead and take the credit. I'm sure it makes you feel a tiny bit smart.
they did a version of this on the tv over here (uk)
And it was brilliant
Sounds like the trashy version of Gilmore Girls!
this show will not be airing this Fall. The fall schedule is already available and this show is not on it. Maybe for winter schedule but most likely for Fall 2009.
Megan! This woman always makes me smile. Love her. But, Silverstone, UGH! Wrap her in a fur coat and feed her a steak. She can suck the success out of any show.
We had a version of the bad mothers handbook in England not that long ago, it's a really good story.
That math is fairly fucked up and so the premise of the show blows.
love her!
Alia Shawkat's joining the show? but it was just announced that she's going back to Arrested Development in 2009……..
The film is based on the book
it was also made into a film
'the bad mother's handbook' by kate long
and yes the 16 year old is pregnant
its a really good book
.

Alicia Silverstone SUCKS!!!
.

"juggling to take care of her 48 year old mother"?
PLEASE. Why would a 48 year old need taking care of?
How stupid.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is my favorite actress!!! i'm glad she is coming back to tv… she is also sexy as hell!! love me some mullally!!
32 my ass! she looks 48! I'm 32 and I still get carded.
Megan's the shit!! I can't wait!!!!
Dude I'm watching this just because of Alia Shawkat
OK……. so that means that when Jamie Lynn turns 32, her daughter, that will be 16, will get pregnant…..
I LOVE HER!!!! totally hope her character is Karen-ish!!!
eek and its on ABC so its gonna be BOMB.COM!!!
I love this actress!!!!! It will be great to see her work again.
Alia Shawkat freaking ROCKS! Jamie Lynn Spears …please!
i read that book, it was excellent! PLEASE keep in mind that it's a BRITISH book.
I loved the book and the film (original Britsh versions) so I hope it's good, But I just don't see this working as a comedy and I can't see Magan Mullaly having Alzheimer's, so who knows.
i love arrested development and alia shawkat.
wow mullally as a mom? thats cool
I love all three girls! This could be good!
READ THE BOOK!
"bad mother's handbook" by Kate Long
It's been one of my favourites for awhile now.
I can't wait for the show!!
Love all 3 of those actresses .. and
would So Watch the Show!
Can't wait!!!!
Loves loves.
x0×0
I lovelovelove her… she's ABFAB!!
Megan should play the 48 year old.
Re: nosy – Oh she does! Sorry!
Catherine Tate played the mother looking after her daughtry and elderly mother. She discovers she's adapted! The kid gets pregnant herself and it's kind of shitty.
YES ive been waiting 4 her i LUVED her in will and grace cant wait!
