CBS released a bunch of trailers for its new fall shows this afternoon. Here's one for The Millers that stars Arrested Development's Will Arnett and doesn't really look anything like Arrested Development. See below for trailers for new comedies The Crazy Ones, Mom, and We Are Men, starring Robin Williams, Anna Faris, and Tony Shalhoub, respectively.
The networks won't be announcing which new shows they're picking up until next week, but one CBS sitcom pilot is already being given an early spot on the fall schedule. Deadline reports that CBS will be ordering the pilot Mom to series today. A multi-camera comedy starring Anna Faris as a single mother who gets sober in order to turn her life around while working as a waitress in Napa Valley, Mom was co-created and executive produced by CBS sitcom kingpin Chuck Lorre. The show is being eyed for the Monday 8pm post-How I Met Your Mother timeslot. Mom is the third comedy to get an early pickup [...]
CBS became the last of the Big Four TV networks to announce its Fall 2013 lineup this morning. The biggest development comedy-wise is that they're expanding their Thursday night comedy block to two hour now, giving NBC a run for its money by competing head-on with the Peacock Network's long-running but anemic comedy night.

The House Bunny and Scary Movie star Anna Faris has just been cast as the lead in Chuck Lorre's new CBS pilot Mom, TV Line reports. Mom will be a multi-camera show starring Faris as a newly sober single mom trying to put her life back together in Napa Valley. Chuck Lorre, the man behind CBS's mega-hit sitcoms Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, and Mike & Molly, is co-creating and producing Mom alongside his Two and a Half Men cohorts Eddie Gorodetsky and Gemma Baker.

We've met Liz's parents and Jack's parents and Jenna's mom and Frank's mom but Kenneth's family has been a mystery. And since they can't get a pig to act, we are going to meet Kenneth's mom and her special friend. Catherine O'Hara is in as Mrs. Parcell and Leaves of Grass superfan Bryan Cranston will be her companion. Both are classic perfect 30 Rock guest star castings and they reflect the final season's raising of stakes. But if they really want to kick things up an emotional notch, O'Hara should bring with her Kenneth's father-pig's meatless carcass.
