ABC announced a production commitment to a new comedy starring Graham, who will play a self-help guru who teaches women how to live a stress-free life -- but struggles to follow her own advice when her boyfriend dumps her."

The untitled half-hour comes from writer Alex Herschlag ("Will and Grace"), who will executive produce.

Graham will also serve as a producer on the sitcom.

This is Graham's first major TV gig since "Gilmore Girls" went off the air in 2007. She spent seven seasons on the show.

The new show marks a reunion between Graham and ABC. The actress got her big break on the Alphabet net starring opposite Molly Ringwald and Jenna Elfman in the short-lived "Townies."

The actress also stars in the upcoming film "Arlen Faber," which was just accepted into the Sundance fest.

The first joint Broadway project by two-time Tony Award winning director Des McAnuff and Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominated choreographer Sergio Trujillo since their collaboration on the Tony Award winning musical Jersey Boys, GUYS AND DOLLS will begin previews on February 4, 2009 at Broadway's newly refurbished Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st Street).
