Like Castle, Alyssa Milano's Single With Parents is another of ABC's growing roster of midseason shows. This one stars Milano as Lou, a single woman in her 30s who finds herself being the dumping ground for her parents' wild behavior and irresponsibility. They seem to be the ones off living fabulous lives while she stays behind to watch after their kids or hears their stories about having sex in a helicopter.

The Fall TV season hasn't even started yet, and already, at least one network is looking a few months ahead. ABC, which only has one new scripted show (Life on Mars) on its Fall schedule, has picked up three dramas and two comedies for midseason.
Among them: Rob Thomas's Cupid, his remake of his own 1998 show, which now stars Sarah Paulson and Bobby Cannavale (at right).

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
This heartwarming 1980s comedy about an unconventional family taught me that "There's a time for love/ And a time for livin.'" Tony Danza, Judith Light, Alyssa Milano and the others were so endearing in their roles, but if you could recast this show with new actors, who would you pick to play powerful businesswoman Angela Bower and her live-in housekeeper Tony Micelli?

- The totally awesome Dianne Wiest has joined the cast of "The Return of Jezebel James", playing the mother of Coco (Lauren Ambrose) and Sarah (Parker Posey). That's three awesome ladies on one screen, especially given Wiest's particular skill at playing the crazy mother. Here's hoping the show itself can match up.
- Speaking of awesome, multi-time Emmy winner Marlo Thomas — aka "That Girl" — will guest-star on "Ugly Betty" as a jewelry company owner with a weakness for younger men, including one Daniel Meade.
