Now Kirstie Alley Comes Back to TV Filed under ( Cheers, Fat Actress, Kelsey Grammer, Kirstie Alley, Minister of Divine, Ted Danson, Veronica's Closet )

Is it me, or are all the former cast members from Cheers coming back to tv? First it was Kelsey Grammer, now it's Kirstie Alley, and if I'm not mistaken, Ted Danson has something lined up as well.

Emmy Award winning actress, Kirstie Alley, has signed on to star in FOX’s new comedy, Minister of Divine, playing a rebel-turned-preacher. The show is based on the British series, The Vicar of Dibley, and is about a once bad-girl who returns to her hometown to become a minister.

After her stint on Cheers, she went on to Veronica's Closet and most recently, Showtime's Fat Actress.

Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton to Work Together Filed under ( Action News, Fred Willard, Kelsey Grammer, Patricia Heaton )

For the first time, Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton will be working together. They are teaming up to star in FOX's new comedy, Action News and will play TV journalists and former colleagues reunited at a local station. Fox has ordered 13 episodes of the new series so far.

The info from Fox on the show is:

In the 90s, the local TV news scene in Pittsburgh was dominated by one team: Chuck Darling (Kelsey Grammer, "Frasier," "Cheers") and Kelly Carr (Patricia Heaton, "Everybody Loves Raymond"). They had that elusive quality all news teams need: chemistry ... at least on-screen. Off-screen, Chuck was a bit of an egomaniacal womanizer, Kelly a bit of an uptight know-it-all. So when Chuck got the call to move up to a larger market, no tears were shed.

Now, after an embarrassing newscast tirade ends up on the Internet, Chuck finds himself on the downswing career-wise. He's even questioning whether his lifestyle of chasing women and living in hotels is as exciting as it used to be. So when he gets the call to return to Pittsburgh, to reunite with Kelly and try to take the newscast back to No. 1, it's an offer he can't refuse.

Back in Pittsburgh, Chuck has a couple of new co-workers: Montana Diaz Herrera (Aimee Garcia, "A Lot Like Love"), the perky, sexy, somewhat inept weather anchor, and Ryan Church (Paul Campbell, "Battlestar Galactica"), the overstressed news director.

There are also familiar faces like Marsh McGinley (Fred Willard, "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "Everybody Loves Raymond"), the affable, endlessly inappropriate sports anchor, and Gary Crezyzewki, pronounced Kre-shoov-ski (Ty Burrell, "In Good Company," "Out of Practice"), the perennially put-upon field reporter who always seems to get left out in the snow. But, mostly, there's Kelly, now a single mom to 10-year-old Gracie (Laura Marano, "Without a Trace"). There was magic between them once. Can they find it again?"
