In what is certain to be delightful scenery-chewing fun, Carol Burnett has signed on to play the Evil Stepmother of America’s favorite high-strung alcoholic widow, Bree Van de Kamp.

So poor Bree had Miss Hannigan for a stepmother growing up. No wonder she’s not right in the head. “You’ll stay up til this dump shiiiiiiiines…like the top of the Chrysler Building!”

It’s a hard-knock life, indeed. No one cares for you a smidge, ’til you’ve spit-polished the fridge.

Should be fun to watch, regardless of the show’s uneven tone this season.
