Debra Messing Jumps Ship - Heads To CBS

Debra Messing can read ratings with the best of them and has signed on to be the lead of a CBS pilot called Shira which is about a woman trying to balance her home and work life. Yeah, so like every other sitcom you have ever heard. Although if NBC picks up Smash, Debra would have to return to the show, the fact that CBS made her a deal shows the world that Smash is a goner and that Debra must be feeling real proud of herself for lining up something. It won't make it of course, but right now she can pat all her co-stars on the back and tell them they will get something real soon or that NBC might still renew Smash while laughing quietly to herself.

Wouldn't she be a better fit to be on a show about a woman who tries to juggle her work and coke life?

FSP said...

That is not a very flattering pic of coke mom.

Agent**It said...

Were the final 2 candidates for Coke Mom DM and TS?

VIPblonde said...

Noooooooo!!!!!! I realize that Smash has been in "unofficially cancelled" status on TV Line for a while now, but I so want them to save it!!!! Love me some Jack Davenport!

Christopher Cruz said...

Meh, I'd prefer it if they just brought Will & Grace back!!!

Jeneral said...

I'm a Smash fan too. I don't understand why the ratings are so bad.

Meanie Rhysie said...

Who is the TS @Agent is referring to?

katie said...

If they call it Jack & Karen, I'm totally there.

Meanie Rhysie said...

The only TS I can think of is Swifty. LOL

LottaColada said...

@Christopher, I would just prefer the Jack McFarlane show.

O'Really said...

Reese...my guess is Tori Spelling but I could be wrong. It almost happened once before.

Jennifer H. said...

I wonder if Debra thinks the "C" in CBS stands for cocaine?

Gonna be so disappointed!

Sunny said...

I thought the other popular guess for Coke Mom was Angie Harmon. Agent, who is TS?

@O'Really
Love the hubris!!

Kelly said...

She looks rough there!

mikey said...

I like Smash too. I don't get why it hasn't caught on more. Is it just popular to the east coast crowd who know NY better?

figgy said...

Debra, Debra, Debra...women our age cannot, I repeat can NOT, wear heavy black eyeliner without looking like an elderly zombie.

Christopher Cruz said...

I actually used to call it Jack & Karen. I got a lot of confused looks!!!

Anonymous said...

So THAT'Ss what the WD Zombies are missing. EYELINER. I knew something looked off on zombie Merle

Unknown said...

Love it!!!!! LOL!

Cocaine buying society??

Unknown said...

Enty, you need to give us another Coke Mom Blind!

ethorne said...

Coke be snorted?

ethorne said...

Yes! He said " Debra must be feeling real proud of herself for lining something up.". Coke mom ftw

Meanie Rhysie said...

Nice catch, ethorne!!

EmEyeKay said...

Enty chose the most coked out photo he could find. Love it.

I watch Smash and I'll be somewhat bummed if it really gets canceled.

LottaColada said...

Cocaine beats Smash?

ethorne said...

Cocaine before sex? (Said like Mel)

mooshki said...

Angie Harmon was the guess for 'Coke Mom 2,' who is bff's with Coke Mom Original Flavor.

Sherry said...

You guys are killing me. Wait til Debra's PR person gets here, then you'll all be very, very sorry!!!

Yeah I would rather see the Karen and Jack show myself.

Susan said...

Jack and Karen - LOVE. I love when she guests on Park and Rec. Super awesome.

The ads for Smash always make me think that I should watch - kinda like Nashville - but I never watch either. I just don't have the energy to devote to another show. Downton Abbey, Mad Men and Newsroom. These are the dramas that have won my affections.

Sad that Smash is doomed, however.

Anonymous said...

wow! Coke Mom confirmation #5,863. Watching old episodes of Will and Grace, one definitely gets the feeling that she's coked up. "WillIdon'tknowwhattodoI'mgonnahaveanervousbreakdownhahahahaI'vegottagoKarenJackyou'rethisthatahahahah!"

Agent**It said...

Sunny, Tori Spelling. I'm probably..misremembering, my new favorite word:)

crila16 said...

Coke mom looks coked out in this photo.

califblondy said...

Oh damn I love Smash and honestly Debra wouldn't be missed that much if the show went on without her.

Jason Blue Eyes said...

Can coke mom convince anyone at Sony to release season 2 of the awesome Ned & Stacey on DVD. I'm dyyyin' here!!!!

Little Miss Smoke and Mirrors said...

Yeah, Smash is over. Three of the five principle actors on Rules of Engagements have booked pilots, too.

Unknown said...

CokeMom betrays Smash.

G said...

@Jason Blue Eyes I thought I was the only one that enjoyed Ned & Stacey. What a funny show that was cancelled way too soon. That and the 5 Mrs. Buchanans by Marc Cherry of Desperate Housewives fame, interestingly enough.

Unknown said...

If they hadn't of cast boring, beige, bland McPhee in that ridiculous role that she's in no way qualified for, tried to convince the audience that McPhee was a better choice than the real (and glaringly obvious) star of the show Megan Hilty, and put Debra Messing in the middle of a soap opera drama for which she just doesn't fit, this show might have made it.

rexruther said...

Exactly what I thought. So late reading today

Unknown said...

Her show sucks dick anyways.

Moonmaid said...

"lining up something" - lol - with all the coke Mom references, this made me chuckle...

O'Really said...

Thanks Sunny:) you're such a sweetie.

feraltart said...

I love Smash & I'm Austalian, though I think the first season was better. Honestly, they need to stop fring show runners. The Walking Dead was better with its show runner too.

Mango said...

@ ethorne - Holy crap, you've cracked the coke mom blind!

@ Little Miss Smoke and Mirrors - which 3 actors on Rules? I haven't watched in ages and don't know if he qualifies as a regular, but I love the Indian actor.

Unknown said...

Yup - I caught that, too.

yodelay said...

@ethorne, I thought the same thing! She's a pro at lining stuff up for herself!

Kathleen said...

I'm from Cali and love it. It's hard for me to stay up that late tho so I always seem to be a few days behind.

J said...

@Lotta

"Just Jack!"

lol

Roman Holiday said...

Uhm, isn't that what people do all the time, they know they are getting canned or layed off so they search for a new job.

Oh yeah, celebrities NOT just like us....
