Cheers & Jeers: Mad Love for Chris Parnell

Cheers to Chris Parnell for his endearing guest turn on Mad Love. Want more Cheers & Jeers? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine. The SNL veteran guested on CBS' freshman sitcom as a small-town cop, Dennis Barrett, who pulls over Connie (Judy Greer) for speeding. She initially flirts with him to try and get out of the ticket but is eventually charmed by his winning personality. Parnell and Greer have history — they costarred in ABC's underrated gem Miss Guided and both provide voices on FX's animated spy spoof Archer — and they developed a surprisingly potent chemistry in only a few scenes. Thankfully, we haven't seen the last of Parnell on Mad Love — he'll be back for another episode next month.

The former Zoey 101 star will be guesting on the second ep of ABC's Miss/Guided, March 20 (8 pm/ET), following its premiere March 18.The new comedy centers on Becky Freeley (Judy Greer), a former uber-awkward teen who's now returning to her alma mater as the school's guidance counselor. In the first episode, Spears will play, appropriately, a student who's gotten good news from a college, but may toss it all aside if it affects her romantic life  which, we all know, can be pretty intense in high school.Judging by this exclusive first photo of JLS' tarted-up character, that romantic life seems to be going well! But man, why does she look so familiar in such an outfit and getting out of the car like that...? Also guesting in the eppy is Ashton Kutcher, playing a substitute Spanish teacher, aka a guapo love interest for Becky.  Anna DimondRelated: J...
