I realize that Danica McKellar is probably sick to death of being called 'Winnie Cooper', but how else was I supposed to get your attention? The actress, famously known for her role on The Wonder Years, will star in a funky online/broadcast experiment for LMN television, a sister network of Lifetime. McKellar will play the title role in Inspector Mom, a movie about a stay-at-home mother who bakes cookies, runs a carpool, and chases down criminals. She's either a 30-something Veronica Mars, or a 30-something Jessica Fletcher.Here's where it gets funky:
The movie version of Inspector Mom airs on November 18th at 8 pm. Then the mystery moves to the internet, LMN.tv, where 8 short video segments will be released through April.

I liked this show the first time I saw it, when it was called Mom, PI.

It sounds like a really sad comeback role.

Dear Lord, I'm going to start digging my own grave if Danica McKellar's old enough to be playing a mom.
I'm kind of surprised she's still into acting since she's a braniac math-whiz. I thought she'd get into a more scientific field. If I thought I had a snowball's chance in hell of understanding it, I'd try and read her published math proof, but it's hard enough to say "Percolation and Gibbs states multiplicity for ferromagnetic Ashkin–Teller models on Z2", much less know what the hell it means!
