Alyssa Milano's career resurgence continues (or begins, it depends on your perspective, I guess). ABC is expected to order 13 episodes of Romantically Challenged, a sitcom about a thirtysomething man dealing with his new girlfriend (Milano) and his needy best friend. If picked up, the series will air midseason on ABC, around the same time the network plans to premiere three dramas, Happy Town, V, and The Deep End.

This news comes almost a year after the network dumped Milano's last shot at a sitcom, Single With Parents. Romantically Challenged almost ended up on ABC's fall schedule, reportedly due to the strong buzz surrounding Milano's performance. But the network decided to push it back, presumably to make room for its other new comedies, including Bill Lawrence's Cougar Town and Hank, starring Kelsey Grammer.

Milano hasn't had a regular TV gig since Charmed ended in 2006, but she had a memorable arc last year on the recently cancelled My Name is Earl. The actress also landed a voiceover gig on the hugely popular Ghostbusters video game, released earlier this year, and the rumor is she'll be starring as a female ghostbuster in Ghostbusters 3.

It's great to see Milano climbing her way back to the spotlight. (Now what's up with her former Who's the Boss co-star Danny Pintauro?)
