Accidentally on Purpose- Jenna Elfman returns to comedy on CBS this fall

CBS is determined to add some solid adult female programming to its schedule this fall. Along with Juliana Marguiles returning to prime time in The Good Wife- Jenna Elfman is giving comedy a go again. She is in San Francisco again as was her character on Dharma and Greg- but this time instead of a young flakey married woman, she is a single film critic who gets knocked up by a younger guy. More along the lines of “Knocked Up” this has some promise as fun comedy with a very contemporary theme.
