Sarah Michelle Gellar Returning to Television....Again?

Sarah Michelle Gellar may be back on the small screen next fall as the star of a new half-hour comedy, TVLine has learned exclusively.
The potential (and currently untitled) series, which is being developed at 20th Century Fox TV (home of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), chronicles the hijinks parents get into while their kids are at home.

Gellar would play the wife/mother.

The actress — who attempted a TV comeback last year with The CW’s now-cancelled Ringer — became interested in the project after reading the Shepard Boucher-penned spec script. (Boucher’s credits include serving as a staff writer on the TBS comedy Men at Work.)

The project will be shopped to the major networks in the coming weeks.


UPDATE~


David Hemingson (Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23) and Margaret Riley (Love and Other Drugs) are attached as EPs.

I'll take SMG any day of the week.

So sorry mods! You know how it goes :P

I'm in! It sounds better than Ringer and I'll watch if it gets picked up to series.

I always assumed SMG would end up on a sitcom. That being said, I do like her. Or it's residual Buffy love. I don't know.
davejohn 5th-Jan-2013 10:01 pm (UTC)
it could be worse...the comedy could have been about a former TV star who tries to get back into business
artemisbones94 5th-Jan-2013 11:19 pm (UTC)
already had that show. It was called the Comeback and it was great. lol

ritzyroxie 5th-Jan-2013 09:14 pm (UTC)
They better cast Freddie as the husband ffs.
turkish_popstar 5th-Jan-2013 09:17 pm (UTC)
NO.
ritzyroxie 5th-Jan-2013 09:19 pm (UTC)
I take it that you did not enjoy Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed?
musicnextdoor 5th-Jan-2013 10:01 pm (UTC)

Okay, can we explain our affiliation with Cracked or lack of? I've ignored the line on the bottom, but I just got asked to do a survey on an ONTD page and it's referencing Cracked writers.
childish Re: Off Topic5th-Jan-2013 09:21 pm (UTC)
There is no answer though.
cickiz Re: Off Topic5th-Jan-2013 10:01 pm (UTC)
this is also off topic but I guess semi relevant but I installed some add on for Google Chrome where they track and block all the advertising companies that track you on any given site and LJ/ONTD have like 30+ trackers on it even when I have adblock on it.
isntdaveone 5th-Jan-2013 09:15 pm (UTC)
loved when she went on Howard Stern show!

ian_michael89 5th-Jan-2013 09:36 pm (UTC)
Who the fuck sent her to Howard Stern to promote Scooby-Doo I can't.
haley 5th-Jan-2013 10:00 pm (UTC)

fwee_prower 5th-Jan-2013 09:18 pm (UTC)

hannahstarr 5th-Jan-2013 10:12 pm (UTC)
Is Ringer worth it? I know a couple people who started watching it and then faded after a few episodes.
fauxkaren 5th-Jan-2013 10:17 pm (UTC)
lol. I loved it. I mean, it's a soapy mess, but I thought it was a lot of fun.
rabbitncavylove 5th-Jan-2013 10:35 pm (UTC)
I think it got better towards the end then they cancelled it..
shanny_w 5th-Jan-2013 10:22 pm (UTC)
me too fwee. i wish it could have had a better ending.
violue 5th-Jan-2013 11:43 pm (UTC)
RIP Ringer ;-;

starchain 5th-Jan-2013 09:20 pm (UTC)
I will watch her in everything, I even watched Ringer for her.
Now, if only Joss Whedon would cast her as Carol Danvers...
ian_michael89 5th-Jan-2013 09:22 pm (UTC)
If there is a God this will happen. Ugh.
starchain 5th-Jan-2013 09:25 pm (UTC)
I know. I don't think it will happen, especially if Carol doesn't appear in Avengers 2, any later than that and SMG will be too old, but a girl can dream.
turkish_popstar 5th-Jan-2013 09:23 pm (UTC)
omg yesssssss
katie_g_lynn 5th-Jan-2013 09:27 pm (UTC)
Whoaaaaaa
isntdaveone 5th-Jan-2013 09:28 pm (UTC)
i wonder why Josh hasn't cast her in anything post-Buffy.
_dennis_csi_ 5th-Jan-2013 09:46 pm (UTC)
nope
bloody_hell 5th-Jan-2013 10:38 pm (UTC)
I would honestly love that
andisprohi 5th-Jan-2013 09:21 pm (UTC)
"chronicles the hijinks parents get into while their kids are at home."

STFU Parents already chronicles what hijinks parents get into. Which is to say, no thank you, I don't need to watch a tv show about "omg, guess where Madison pooped at today"
snowweisz 5th-Jan-2013 09:23 pm (UTC)
lmaooooo yes pls I don't want the OMG YOU AWFUL UPS PEOPLE RINGING THE BELL AND RUINING NAP TIME!
burn_a_miracle 5th-Jan-2013 09:55 pm (UTC)
STFU Parents is such a self esteem booster for me, lol.
hewontgo 5th-Jan-2013 09:23 pm (UTC)
good for her
hire James Marters as the husband
ashtraysoul 5th-Jan-2013 09:39 pm (UTC)
he's aged tragically iirc
hewontgo 5th-Jan-2013 09:48 pm (UTC)
dont care, i am sure they still have chemistry
i need a spike & buffy reunion
sweet_honesty 5th-Jan-2013 09:55 pm (UTC)
I looked up his age and he's actually over 50... Which is kinda crazy. He's my mom's age.

Edited at 2013-01-05 09:56 pm (UTC)
starchain 5th-Jan-2013 09:55 pm (UTC)
I would agree but he did that guest spot with Charisma on Supernatural and he looked like his own grandpa.
mckenziejr2002 5th-Jan-2013 10:03 pm (UTC)
Damn that sex scene where that building was coming down was hot.
ms_mmelissa 5th-Jan-2013 10:21 pm (UTC)
James Masters is so creepy and rough-looking now. Isn't he married to some 18 year old too?
grande_latte 5th-Jan-2013 09:25 pm (UTC)
as long as its not some scooby doo movie bullshit im ok
isntdaveone 5th-Jan-2013 09:25 pm (UTC)

calliope1975 5th-Jan-2013 11:33 pm (UTC)
i watched that entire thing. baby buffy! and principle flutie! before xander ate him.
tiramisu25489 6th-Jan-2013 01:44 am (UTC)
Xander didn't eat him (thankfully), he was too busy trying to crack onto Buffy :)
vanishingbee 5th-Jan-2013 09:25 pm (UTC)
No matter what she does I will try it out because it's her. Simply irresistible is probably my fav non-Buffy thing she's done.
eswnrtm 5th-Jan-2013 09:34 pm (UTC)
That movie was so cute. And delicious.
isntdaveone 5th-Jan-2013 09:27 pm (UTC)
bring back Swans Crossing with Sarah reprising her role.



jenlet 6th-Jan-2013 12:11 am (UTC)
YES.
isntdaveone 5th-Jan-2013 09:30 pm (UTC)
i hope instead, SMG returns to All My Children as Kendall Hart for that internet-only version that they're gonna do next month!

miss_lurker 6th-Jan-2013 12:15 am (UTC)
She's still who I think of as the real Kendall!
