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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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.
