LatestThursday was a banner day for women getting their shot at new television comedy opportunities, with announcements pouring in about shows from Anne Heche, Molly Shannon and Kristen Schaal. Ah what promise, what hope lies through yonder television premiere season!
Anne Heche: NBC has grabbed an untitled show from Heche and Colette Burson, who co-created Hung, which Heche was on for several years. Her new show centers around a woman named Poppy Blake (43) who manages the beauty section of an unnamed department store and “questions everything about love and relationships.” According to the Hollywood Reporter, she’s got a “hilariously opinionated sister” named Chelsea and will spend her time interacting with “her romantically deprived co-workers and an array of department store clients” while turning “a comic yet anthropological eye on what love and sex really mean for women.”
