by Anna Johns, posted Sep 18th 2007 8:31AM

lauren grahamNBC has nabbed Lauren Graham, now that her schedule is clear thanks to the cancellation of Gilmore Girls. According to Variety, the network has inked a seven-figure development deal with Graham in which NBC will create a series for the actress. The signing is one of the first big moves by NBC's new entertainment president, Ben Silverman.

Graham is no stranger to NBC, having roles on NewsRadio, 3rd Rock From the Sun, and and Seinfeld early in her career. She didn't say much about her big signing deal, but did say that she's happy about the direction Silverman is taking the network.

Okay, Gilmore Girls fans: What kind of series would you like to see Lauren Graham in?

I am thinking a dramedy something down south with a Sweet home Alabama feel not sure what that would be but maybe it is a start.

A smart/funny one.

I think I would like to see LG in a Dramedy. She can do comedy and she can do drama.

She and Allison Janney should do a project together.

Maybe they could green screen her into Studio 60 in place of Sarah Paulson?

I was never a fan of Gilmore Girls, but did like a lot of her other work so I will be looking forward to future programs featuring her.

I'm with Casey. Bring back Sorkin, and add Matthew Perry on top.

Graham is smart (she has a B.A. in English, I believe) and her character on Gilmore Girls showed that off. I think it helped set Graham apart from her peers (30-ish pretty actresses on TV) in a meaningful way. I think, therefore, a role that continues that trend would be best.

I would really like to see her staring in something that Sorkin writes.
