2009 Fall TV Premiere: Accidentally On Purpose

Among the series added to CBS’ 2009 fall lineup is a comedy featuring Jenna Elfman. Accidentally On Purpose centers on a woman who has a one-night-stand with a younger guy and ends up pregnant with his baby. She decides to keep the baby and hilarity ensues.

Below is CBS’ description for the series:

Accidentally On Purpose - ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE is a comedy starring Golden Globe Award winner Jenna Elfman as Billie, a single woman who finds herself "accidentally" pregnant after a one-night stand with a much younger guy, and decides to keep the baby... and the guy. A newspaper film critic, Billie is barely surviving a humiliating breakup with her charming boss, James (Grant Show), who's still trying to resume their relationship. Suddenly expecting a child with her "boy toy," Zack (Jon Foster), Billie and Zack make an arrangement: to live together platonically. Billie's party girl best friend Olivia (Ashley Jensen), and Abby (Lennon Parham), her conventional, younger married sister, eagerly look forward to the new addition and offer their own brands of advice and encouragement. But when Zack and his freeloading friends, including Davis (Nicolas Wright), start to turn her place into a frat house, Billie isn't sure if she's living with a boyfriend, a roommate, or if she just has another child to raise. Lloyd Braun, Gail Berman, Gene Stein and Claudia Lonow are the executive producers for CBS Television Studios. Pamela Fryman directed the pilot.

CBS has a solid comedy block on Monday night and moving How I Met Your Mother to eight in an attempt to sandwich Accidentally On Purposebetween that and Two and a Half Men is probably a wise choice if they want to get people to check this series out. Between out and the viewers who still miss Dharma and Greg, there will probably be a good audience for this show.

Accidentally On Purpose will air Mondays on CBS (8:30-9 p.m. ET) starting fall 2009.
