Miss Guided may not have made the cut for ABC's 2008-2009 season schedule but that doesn't it mean it's over for lead star Judy Greer. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 32-year-old actress has just been tapped to play the lead role in HBO's half-hour pilot Suburban Shootout.
Based on a series from Britain's Five, Suburban Shootout puts the Miss Guided actress in a dark comedy where she plays a woman who escapes the city for suburban bliss. Unfortunately, she finds out that her new home is caught in a gang war between homicidal armed wives vying for control of the idyllic town.

Tonight, ABC will be giving fans of Miss Guided a double treat once again by airing two episodes of the “cute and embraceable” comedy series. However, tonight's installments are considered extra special as they mark the conclusion of the pilot season.
To give you an overview, Miss Guided centers on Becky Freeley (Judy Greer), a geek who attended high school at Glen Ellen and her sort of triumphant return as the school's guidance counselor. Now, she is determined to help out all the high school kids with the patient, sage advice she never got. There a few twists, however. Becky finds herself attracted to the mechanic-turned-Spanish teacher, Tim (Kristoffer Polaha), who also becomes the object of affection of Lisa Germain (Brooke Burns), the newly hired English teacher who was Becky's classmate in high school and the homecoming queen at Glen Ellen. Clearly, not much has changed at the old alma mater as Becky feels as if she's back in high school.
