Momspiration in this fall's TV lineup

If you can somehow get your kids to bed, finish the household chores and wrangle the remote from your husband, take a breather and connect with women who truly understand you.

If you are:
  • Pregnant: Check out Accidentally on Purpose, premiering Monday, Sept. 21 at 8:30 p.m. on CBS. Jenna Elfman stars as a film critic who, after suffering through a breakup with her boss, hooks up with a 20-something "boy toy" and gets knocked up. Not only does she decide to keep the baby, but she moves in the Baby Daddy. Strictly platonic, of course.
  • Newly divorced: Reconnect with your FRIEND Courtney Cox, now playing a 40-year-old divorcee navigating the single world while raising a teenage boy. Cougar Town premiers Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 9:30 p.m. on ABC.
  • Reentering the workforce: On a more dramatic note, ER's Julianna Margulies stars in The Good Wife, Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on CBS. Her character, Alica, is a stay-at-home mom who trades in her title as "the good wife" when her husband is imprisoned for a highly public sex and political corruption scandal, forcing her to pursue a career as an attorney to pick up the pieces for her family. The Good Wife premiers on September 22.
  • Raising children AND a husband: LOST's Julie Bowen stars in Modern Family, a seemingly hilarious show about three unique, quirky families. Bowen's character, Claire, is raising three kids and a husband -- a "cool dad" who can do all the dances to High School Musical. Parents magazine called this show "a cross between The Office and Arrested Development." I'm sold! Check it out starting Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
