We’re one step closer to getting another weekly TV date with Gilmore Girls‘ Lauren Graham. (Pause for cheers. And… we’re back.) Though we were under the impression NBC was developing a comedy for the actress, Variety reports that ABC has greenlit production on an untitled half-hour pilot in which Graham will play "a self-help guru who teaches women how to live a stress-free life — but struggles to follow her own advice when her boyfriend dumps her." The show, which features Will & Grace’s Alex Herschlag and Arrested Development’s Mitchell Hurwitz among its exec producers, sounds promising, right? I know we can’t let our Gilmore love lead us blindly into TiVo season passes (see: Amy Sherman-Palladino’s ill-fated The Return of Jezebel James), but this set-up could give us Lauren the way we like her: smart, supportive, sarcastic, self-deprecating, slightly neurotic, seriously funny, and above all, at the center of the story. In movies, she’s been "the wife." On stage, she’ll be "the girlfriend." (She’s expected to make her Broadway debut as Miss Adelaide in a spring revival of Guys and Dolls.) But on TV, she’ll always be "the star." Make her self-help guru a fast-talking pop-culture connoisseur, and it’s my favorite show.

Yay!!! Best news ever!
Dude, so true. I love her!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!
Oh wait tv has taken Lee Pace and the comedy stylings of Natalie Zea away from me. I shouldn’t get my hopes up
yay
Best. News. Ever.
Miss Adelaide in “Guys and Dolls” is a star role. Not just “the girlfriend.”
AWE-SOOOOME!!
I am so in!
The role of Adelaide in Guys and Dolls is NOT just “the girlfriend.” It is one of the great comic roles in theater, one good enough to win Faith Prince her Tony award. It is part rife with emotion and humor, and is on par with the other three leads in the show. Please don’t denigrate theater without proper knowledge of the subject.
Yay! Although I agree that she needs a show with snappy dialogue because otherwise she can be pretty dull.
Love her, but sounds boring
it’s a good day!
I saw Faith Prince in Guys and Dolls on Broadway. You’re right: Adelaide is a great role. I meant it more as that’s an ensemble; this sitcom will be hers.
this is the best news ever.
I LOVE Ms. Graham. Totally snubbed by Emmy every year for Gilmore Girls.
Thank God, Lauren Grahmness is next to Godliness.
I love Lauren Graham and this does sound promising, but… it also sounded good when it was called Men in Trees. A self help guru that get dumped? ABC didn’t keep that quirky lovable cast very long either.
Ughh, I hate that TV executives have made me a pessimist.
Hmmm… Lauren Graham is yummy. Sounds like another show to watch with the volume muted, much like “Ghost Whisperer”.
All you had to say was Lauren Graham and I was in. I hope it is well written b/c someone with her timing and whit deserves a good writer. It would only be the “best news ever” if you told me Gilmore Girls was coming back. Now that the election is over Rory’s job following Obama is over…what a perfect time!
excellent!
I’m totally in!
Good for her, but I’m afraid that it’s going to be like ever other comedy. I’m hopeing for the best, but I wouldn’t be suprised if it gets canned after a few airings.
god no! and here I thought she was gone forever. I hated Gilmore Girls with a passion!
