There is a new series on FOX called I Hate My Teenage Daughter and the show is making its debut tonight — right after The X Factor USA.

Cast:

Jaime Pressly as Annie
Katie Finneran as Nikki
Eric Sheffer Stevens as Matt
Aisha Dee as Mackenzie
Chad Coleman as Gary
Kristi Lauren as Sophie

From the official description of the show:

I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER is a new multi-camera family comedy starring Jaime Pressly and Katie Finneran as single moms, best friends – and former nerds – who fear their privileged and overly indulged daughters are turning out just like the mean girls who picked on them in high school.

ANNIE (Pressly), who was raised in an ultra-strict, über-religious household where she had little-to-no freedom, pretty much allows her daughter, SOPHIE (Kristi Lauren), to do whatever she wants. Annie’s best friend NIKKI (Finneran), once an unpopular, overweight social pariah, is now a pretty Southern belle who also allows her daughter, MACKENZIE (Aisha Dee), to do as she pleases.

Watch the promo for the series premiere episode:

Jaime Pressly said of the role, “In order for me to come back to TV – being that Earl is still on [in reruns] and that Joy was such a strong character – I have to be able to play something that was completely opposite of her. And this character is definitely that.”

UPDATE: RECAP HERE

My Name Is Earl actress Jaime Pressly was popped last night for suspicion of DUI. She was driving in Santa Monica and after allegedly committing a traffic violation, she was pulled over by police.

She failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for DUI. It’s a good thing that her hubby is a lawyer, because that’s all of the jail time that she’s likely to get over this kerfuffle.

Her bail was set at $15,000 and she has already been released. Check out her mug shot, she looks so jacked up! Nice.
