EXCLUSIVE: Judy Greer, who is recurring on CBS’ revamped Two And A Half Men this season, is developing her own series at ABC targeted for next fall. ABC is finalizing a deal for the half-hour single-camera comedy, which will be written by feature scribes Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan (Made Of Honor). The project is inspired by Greer’s life, where she moved from Los Angeles for the man she loves and found herself raising stepchildren and making new friends in a small suburban town. Greer, repped by CAA and Principato-Young, is producing, with Elfont, Kaplan and Principato-Young’s Peter Principato, Paul Young and David Gardner executive producing. On the big screen, Greer will next be seen in Alexander Payne’s The Descendants and Jay Duplass’ Jeff Who Loves At Home. On TV, she co-starred on the CBS comedy Mad Love last season.





Judy Greer: The B- female Paul Rudd.
I genuinely hope it works…but it never really does.
I love Judy Greer. Hope the material is livelier than it sounds.
Stick to voice acting Judy. You’re great in Archer, not so in other stuff.
Can’t we all just hope that it’s at least funnier than Whitney?
Terrible idea, NEXT! Toss this in the garbage can please! Please don’t waste people’s time and money for boring ideas like this about your un interesting life! The audience don’t care about some homely woman falling in love, raising kids and living in the suburbs! Now can the true artists please come forward and present your work!
Psychic and relaying the comments of our dead celebs and our canny old ‘pundit’ leader there, Leath’s comment is to say with apology you need to look at more of the old style fantasy to keep these sitcoms running. I mention ‘Mr. Ed’ for instance. And of course ‘I Dream of Jeannie.’ You think the modern generations won’t take fantasy in sitcoms, but Leath who can look into the future, hilariously, sees that you will and I suggest one, registered, called, ‘Our Alien Friends.’ It’s a family comedy that dredges us out of the urban metal plastic heartedness to which we respond as our wholesale reaction to a mass scale steel world. I can also think of a new Sybil Shepherd in a series where she hires the Hollywood wannabes for regular sex shows in her mansion. Let’s call it, ‘Mansion of Iniquities.’ Then there’s Frank Furillo who may just become the first Police Commander running a downtown precinct where the local kids come for some peace and shelter – on their medical marijuana. ‘I’m calling it, ‘The Kids Next Door.’ I know I got you here Nikki when I bring out the riotous sitcom about the senior General who comes out of the closet and refuses to leave his men. It’s called ‘Army Running Shoes.’ Or alternatively ‘Fetish for Leadership.’ He’d be a blonde I feel. I got four of five more – any time you want to put someone serious on the phone. I also got Heath Ledger up here who said, ‘ We pale Australians were only half pleased to meet Sue Mengers, (this writer is an Australian). She walked in and said, ‘You Australians are just too presumptuous to think you can outsmart we Americans. Tell Charles Lenhoff she’s writing. Heath said, ‘I’d tell you more that Sue has said since she got up here, but I can’t get a word in edgeways.’ She keeps saying to me, Claire-merrin the psychic, ‘Go to Boaty, but I’ll be dammed if I will.’ Boaty, you’ve got to change the last name! I heard Sue echoing from heaven, ‘I’m proud of you now kid.’
I really hope it’s great. I am a huge fan of Judy’s. She deserves success!
Agreed. Judy is really nice and talented. She deserves this.
And, for the above poster, it has to be better than Whitney. One, the show sucks. Two, Whitney is not a very talented actress.
As long as she’s the crazy bitch and not the rest of middle America, maybe they’ll have something.
Judy must hold the record for most failed series/pilots. But she’s always working and she’s so great.
Loved her in all her guest spots, and hope she’ll be in as Kitty for the Arrested Development revival. Miss Guided is on my brilliant but cancelled list. Hope the writing is good, as that is what makes it for me.
boring.
I heart Judy.
I just want her to stay on “Archer” as Cheryl/Carol.
She is so talented, but she’s not a star, she’s a supporting actress.
It’s so refreshing when a closed mind opens wide.
Reminds me of an actor who was once turned down by an agency with the explanation, “There was a great deal of respect, but very little enthusiasm.”
Hey Anonymous — I remember another actress who was a supporting player for years — Melissa McCarthy. Wonder how she’s doing…
I don’t get it. You mention one exception to prove the rule?
James Gandolfini. Edie Falco. Mark Ruffalo. Michael Emerson. George Clooney. Laura Linney. Phillip Seymor Hoffman. Paul Giamatti. Hope Davis. Marcia Gay Harden. Stanley Tucci.
Do I need to go on?
True artist here, my medium is terrible anonymous blog comments. You appear to be working in the same.
