Not the TV character from several years back. Actress Hilary Duff. She has just signed a one year deal with NBC to star in a new series.Duff has been concentrating on movies and music since Lizzie McGuire ended in 2004 (the show lasted four years, but it was actually only two seasons, plus a big screen movie). According to Variety, Duff was going to be in a series for CBS in 2004, but it wasn't picked up.
As part of the deal, Duff is going to guest star in several NBC shows, as well, maybe as a tune up for starring in her own show and promotion for herself and the show. I wonder how they'll pick which shows she'll guest star in? After the jump, some suggestions.
Hilary Duff is the new Patrick Stewart. By that, I mean it's 
That's So Raven is one of the few live-action Disney shows that don't make me vomit a little in my mouth. Raven Simone has decent comedic timing, even when she's over-acting (which is almost all the time). Oh well. I'm not going to nitpick too much because the kids seem to enjoy the program. However, that little brother character has always irked me. There's absolutely nothing I find likeable about him. So leave it to Disney to give him (and the father character) a spin-off series.
The Disney Channel has picked up two new
pilots, The Amazing Hannigans and Housebroken. Hannigans will be about wizarding family-run
magic shop (jumping on the Harry Potter bandwagon a little late there). Housebroken will be a spin-off of the hit show
The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, also known as one of the most irritating shows in Disney history (placing
somewhere near Lizzie McGuire). It will be about the Tipton Hotel's handyman, Arwin, and his adventures in
helping his sister take care of her kids. So, I guess that means it'll be like The Suite Life if Arwin was the
uncle of Zack and Cody... and didn't want to date their mom.
