Hannigan Takes Stab at NBC Sitcom

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" co-star Alyson Hannigan is returning to the small screen.

The actress, also of "American Pie" fame, has inked a talent deal with NBC to star in a comedy project for the network targeted for fall 2004.

"She has such a natural effervescence, she brought into 'Buffy' a real sense of humor to the role of Willow, and between that and the 'American Pie' movies, where she's so winning, we really think that this is the right time for her to try a half-hour comedy," NBC executive vp casting Marc Hirschfeld said.

Hannigan, who is meeting with writers and reading scripts, played Willow Rosenberg, the best friend of Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), on Joss Whedon's cult series. On the big screen, she most recently reprised her role as the nerdy band camp lover Michelle Flaherty in "American Wedding."

I wonder how reliable that is...I would LOVE to see her every week again...I wish it were as Willow but hey...gotta support the chick if she wants to try something new...EJ will be bouncing off the walls to say the least...YAY ALYSON!!!
 
Well, half-hour sitcoms aren't exactly my favorite format, but what the hell. Any Alyson is good Alyson, as far as I'm concerned!

Can't wait to see what kind of a show they put her in. Will she be a single, sexy yet dorky librarian-type, looking for love in all the wrong places? Will it be an I Love Lucy style domestic comedy? Will she play a sultry dominatrix by day who leads a double life as an ace CIA analyist!?!? Er...no, probably not on that last one. Maybe if it were an hour-long show...

Wow....good week for Alyson! Married AND starring in a new show! Go her!
 
In both Buffy and American Pie/2/Wedding, she played a dorky girl. The way she speaks is dorky.

She's cute in her way of speaking, plus she has those eyes that grows big when she gets hurt... who here doesn't like Willow or Michelle?

I'm not saying I don't like her. I'm just saying it would get kind of old if she played the same character 3 shows in a row. Evil Willow was a nice change for her. I like Alyson, I just won't enjoy another Willow/Michelle in a sitcom. It's all about change.
