LUCY LIU TO LEAD
NEW MULTICAM SITCOM AT ABC
While we are waiting for their new summer comedy United We Fall to start next Wednesday, which will be their only new comedy till Autumn
when Kyra Sedgwick's Call Your Mother sitcom starts, ABC is also going forward with new workplace multicam sitcom which will star Lucy Liu.

| Lucy Liu will return to TV with the new sitcom |
The new comedy, working title is KIDS MATTER NOW, and it was also known
as BOSSY, will see her playing Devin, the fierce and powerful head of
Shelter, a large and successful modern furniture company. She is a force
and is unfamiliar with failure. But when Devin adopts a baby, she is
ill-prepared for the task of parenting and feels at a complete loss as
to how to be a mom.
Created by one of Friends' writer Shana Goldberg Meehan, it will start shooting as soon as corona allows, together with single camera comedies HOME ECONOMICS (starring Topher Grace, about three adult siblings: one in the 1%, one middle class and one barely holding on) and Tone Bell's WORK WIFE about a duo of real estate agents whose professional success, personal friendship and ability to share deodorant makes their lives work.
It's very interesting. Somehow I never associated this actress with comedies.
ReplyDeleteMe neither, she always seems grumpy and angry, hope we will see a new side of her here, especially as it is a multicam.
DeleteWith her grumpy demeanor, maybe she's perfect for a role for someone who doesn't know how to parent.
ReplyDeleteTHat is my guess as well!
DeleteI watched a show mostly because of Lucy Liu, and it was last year, I think... Why Women Kill is its name, I believe and, it wasn't good, IMHO. 😏
ReplyDeleteThe title says it all, really :)
DeleteThis sounds like it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteWell, parenting is a great way to learn failure. I caught my son snacking on a bag of croutons late last night. I took the bag away from him without realizing the glass bottle of olive oil he had next to him. (It was blocking the croutons.) Well, glass and olive went all over the floor. Parenting FAIL!
ReplyDeleteWas he dippin' the croutons in the olive oil? I bet the dog was happy lickin' the oil from the floor LOL
Deletelol no, but that would have cracked me up.. I said "What are you doing" and he said "Eating salad" like it was the most normal thing in the world.
DeleteMust be some tasty croutons.
