After news broke on Thursday that the legendary Jessica Walter had died, celebrities took to social media to share condolences and fond memories of the award-winning actress.

Walter, who was 80, was best known for her portrayal of Lucille Bluth in “Arrested Development.” Her career spanned more than six decades and included other iconic roles, such as Malory Archer in “Archer” and the title character in the 1970s crime drama “Amy Prentiss.”

In addition to film and TV, Walter also found success in theater, starring in Broadway productions like “Advise & Consent,” Neil Simon’s “Rumors,” “A Severed Head,” “Nightlife” and “Photo Finish,” which earned her the Clarence Derwent Award for Most Promising Newcomer.

Jason Bateman, who starred as Michael Bluth on “Arrested Development,” paid tribute to his on-screen mom.

“R.I.P. Jessica Walter. What an incredible career, filled with amazing performances,” he tweeted. “I will forever remember my time with her,...

Jessica Walter, an Emmy-winning actress known for her work as the stalker in Clint Eastwood’s “Play Misty for Me,” and for the TV series “Arrested Development” and “Archer,” died Wednesday in New York. She was 80.

Walter received an Emmy nomination in 2005 for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy for playing the manipulative alcoholic Lucille Bluth in the critically adored and highly influential comedy “Arrested Development.”

With the rest of the cast of “Arrested Development,” she shared three SAG Award nominations for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy, in 2005, 2006 and 2014.

20th Television said in a statement, “Jessica Walter’s spectacular turn as the devilish Lucille Bluth is one of the great comedic performances of television history, and we loved working with her as much as audiences loved her on ‘Arrested Development.’ Our hearts go out to her family and friends, particularly her daughter, and our former colleague, Brooke.

Finally some good news for Jaime Pressly, after Jennifer Falls. The funny lady has been promoted to a regular on Anna Faris’ Mom. That means fans will see more of Jill, who came into play in season 2 as her freshly rehabbed friend. CBS hasn’t shared how they write her in as a regular yet. However, fans can expect more drama and humor from her character during the third season.

Poor Jaime hasn’t had success on TV since her My Name is Earl days. We hope this will change that that for her. She deserves a chance to shine and with this show, it seems like a good fit. I cannot wait to learn more about what we can expect as this current season has been tough. Lots of emotions and drama that is setting up for a very interesting season finale to watch. That may actually explain some of our questions.

“Hi, my name is Jill” is a phrase Mom fans are likely to hear more often in Season 3: The CBS comedy has promoted guest-star Jaime Pressly to series regular.

The My Name Is Earl alum, who debuted as Christy’s newly sober pal earlier this season, will be a permanent part of the cast when the recently renewed sitcom returns in the fall, the network announced Friday.

There won't be a second season for TV Land's Jennifer Falls sitcom. The cable channel has cancelled the comedy after one season of 10 episodes.

Created by Matthew Carlson, Jennifer Falls follows single mother Jennifer Doyle (Jaime Pressly) after she loses her high-paying job. She and her daughter move in with Jennifer's mother Maggie (Jessica Walter) so that she can reassess her life. The rest of the cast includes Missi Pyle, Ethan Suplee, Nora Kirkpatrick, and Dylan Gelula.

This marks the second one-season cancellation by TV Land. Kirstie -- starring sitcom vets Kirstie Alley, Michael Richards and Rhea Perlman -- was dropped in July after a 12 episode run.

What do you think? Did you enjoy Jennifer Falls? Do you think it should have been renewed for a second season or, do you agree with the cancellation?

Jennifer Falls will not return for a second season, EW has confirmed. TV Land canceled the half-hour, single-camera comedy, starring Jaime Pressly, after its 10-episode season. The show followed Jennifer, a woman who, along with her daughter, moved back in with her mother after losing her job. Matthew Carlson (The Wonder Years) created the series, which also starred Jessica Walter, Missi Pyle, Ethan Suplee, Nora Kirkpatrick, and Dylan Gelula. Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis executive produced the show. The network announced it has picked up two more single-camera comedies: Impastor, starring Michael Rosenbaum, and Teachers, which Alison Brie is executive producing.

Jennifer has fallen again. TV Land has canceled the comedy “Jennifer Falls” after one season.

TV Land had bad news for lackluster Jennifer Falls, the show that Jamie Pressly so wanted to succeed. TV Land gave the series a good season trial that ended earlier this summer. As expected, fans did not take it to very well as a dorky show that had nothing to offer. The 10 episode season did not perform well in ratings and never brought in the ratings that they had hope it would have. Luckily Pressly is already moving on to CBS’ Mom as a replacement.

We are sad to see the show end. While it was never going to be what TV Land wanted, it could have done better if they played it up right and put more effort into PR for it. However, they appear not to be willing to try that as they already have other successful shows. At least Jaime and the rest of the cast must...

Jaime Pressly made two startling revelations during an appearance on The Talk on Thursday, Aug. 7.

Her health scare began after welcoming son Dezi with former fiance Eric Cubiche back in 2007.

Jaime Pressly opened up about undergoing a mastectomy in 2011 after developing mastitis when her son was born during a recent appearance on The Talk.

Pressly, best known for starring in My Name Is Earl, stopped by the talk show to promote her new TV Land sitcom, Jennifer Falls, but then found herself telling the women about her health scare.

Jaime Pressly Reveals She Had A Mastectomy

After giving birth to her son, Dezi James Calvo in 2007, Pressly says she began feeling breast pain, and simply attributed it to breasfeeding. In fact, Pressly was developing mastitis, which causes inflammation in the breast, from a bacterial infection.

“I had something that happened to be years ago – when I had my son I got mastitis, but I didn’t know because I thought it was just regular breastfeeding pain,” Pressly said.

In TV Land's first original single-camera comedy, Jennifer Falls, Jaime Pressly (My Name is Earl) plays Jennifer Doyle, a single mother who must move back in with her mom (Jessica Walter) after she loses her job. She's then forced to take a job at the bar owned by her brother Wayne, played by Pressly's Earl co-star Ethan Suplee.

Ethan Suplee knows a think or two about TV comedies.

He starred as Randy Hicky for four seasons on NBC's hit comedy "My Name Is Earl" (watch now), and now he's back on the small screen in TV Land's first-ever single-camera comedy "Jennifer Falls" (watch now) with his "Earl" costar Jaime Pressley.

So when it came time to come up with his #5WorthWatching, we asked Suplee to supply a list of TV comedies that have stood (or, in one case, will stand) the test of time.

If you're in the mood for a subversive comedy binge-athon, here are Ethan Suplee's five tv comedies that have stood the test of time.

Comedy vet Sara Rue (Less Than Perfect, Rules of Engagement) has landed the female lead opposite Smallville‘s Michael Rosenbaum in the TV Land comedy pilot Impastor, TVLine has learned.

TV Land‘s gimmick of creating new sit-coms that are throwbacks to the style and general effort of those classic shows from the ’80s and ’90s is one that is proving more and more a hit-or-miss venture. What at first seemed a no-fail stroke of genius, has now put out its share of failures, and though it has led to some truly great shows, we’re learning that you can’t always spin success out of the concept.

For every Hot in Cleveland, there’s a Retired at 35. For every The Exes, we get a Happily Divorced. Not that those shows were terrible. They weren’t. They just didn’t work out, and were perhaps not as solid in their construction as the real hits. Now we have Kirstie, which I admit seemed like a good idea on paper, and that one is mostly difficult to watch. This leads us to Jennifer Falls,...

Jaime Pressly has a new series of her own on TV Land and she is excited for it. It is called Jennifer Falls. It will follow the life of a single mom balancing life, working at a bar and her crazy family. It premiers tonight and will be Jaime’s first new TV show since My Name is Earl ended. The show will follow Jaime as she builds her life back up with the help of her daughter (who has her own struggles), her mother and her best friends. Sticking true to TV Land’s originals series, is a comedy.
