Lois Griffin just scored a new TV gig. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Family Guy" star Alex Borstein has been tapped to write and executive produce the pilot script for "Linda Green," a remake of the UK series of the same name from "Shameless" creator Paul Abbott.
The story will center around the titular heroine and her four thirtysomething best friends as they explore life and love in Boston. Although the British original, which ran from 2001-02, was a half-hour show, the Fox version will reportedly feature hourlong episodes if it's picked up to series.
