One of my favorite “Oh, that girl!” actresses is Judy Greer, who’s appeared in some of my favorite shows and movies in small, if memorable roles. She was Jennifer Garner’s frenemy in 13 Going on 30, Katherine Heigl’s tell-it-like-it-is coworker in 27 Dresses, and the off-her-rocker secretary Kitty Sanchez in several episodes of Arrested Development.

Two seasons ago, she had a short-lived ABC series, Miss Guided, where she was charming and clearly working her ass off to sell something that couldn’t really be sold.

Now, ABC has ordered a script for a pilot called I’m With Stupid, based on a novel of the same name and attached to Greer. The plot centers around a New Yorker who meets her dream man on safari, only to find out he’s dumber than a box of rocks when he follows her back to Manhattan. I’m just going to go ahead and say it–this has the potential to last about a maximum three episodes.

Judy Greer is hilarious and adorable, and she seems like someone who would be great for television. So then why does she keep getting involved in all of these lame pilots?  Why can’t anyone write something awesome for this woman? UGH!
