EXCLUSIVE: Curb Your Enthusiasm co-star Cheryl Hines has signed a talent holding deal with ABC. Once the norm, such pacts are rare these days, with maybe a handful across all broadcast networks a season. Hines already has a history at ABC. She starred in the network’s short-lived comedy series In the Motherhood last year and recently did an arc on Brothers & Sisters and co-starred in the network’s comedy pilot Wright vs. Wrong. Under her talent deal with ABC she might reprise her role in the new pilot for the Sony TV-produced project starring Debra Messing, which is in the works. Hines, who also is set to reprise her role as Larry David’s wife Cheryl on Curb’s upcoming eighth season, executive produces NBC’s new feel-good fall reality series School Pride. She is with WME and Principato Young.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.


yuck. she is so uninteresting.
Holding deals are rare? Then how come Drama got one on Entourage?
Loved her on Curb. Not a fan of Motherhood and Wright v Wrong is horrible.
Does ABC think ANYONE in America knows who Cheryl Hines is? Much less are clamoring to see her starring in a series? “Curb” has about 1 million viewers (on a good night), which would put it at about #150 in the Nielsen rankings. Next thing you know they’ll call it “The Cheryl Hines Show.”
Meow.
Let’s all get online and knock her! Wait, what have we done lately? Douches.
I find her unattractive and annoying. And I have done plenty lately, much more important than Hines and her silly little TV shows.
Hines may not have huge name recognition but she is talented. She directed Serious Moonlight after Adrienne Shelly died and did a good job.
Frank- she’s an actress, right? I think that means she’s fair game to “knock”…. therefore, a holding deal with this chick?? What a giant waste of money, boring.
Wow! A friend just sent me this post. Amazing how many of you bozos grant yourself the right to criticize and judge successful people. This is why I almost never read these things.
Charming and Funny– totally deserves her own show.
Curb Your Enthusiasm Gets Emmy Noms.
Hey also, did you know that Curb Your Enthusiasm has 5 nominations for the Emmys including best Lead Actor, and Best Comedy Series.
She is funny on Curb. What’s with all of the bashing and negativity?
Cheryl is truly outstanding in Curb. I tape the show and watch it over and over because she is so good. She makes my day. I never get enough of her.
