Acclaimed for such dramas as “The Closer,” which earned her an Emmy Award, Kyra Sedgwick also has comedy cred.
The actress shows it in returning to series work in ABC's “Call Your Mother,” premiering Wednesday, she plays Jean Raines, who comes to grips with how much she misses her grown children (Rachel Sennott, Joey Bragg) by traveling far to be with them ... and not just temporarily. Mixed emotions result for the offspring, though usually, they're happier than not to have Mom around again. Sherri Shepherd also appears in the sitcom created by executive producer Kari Lizer (“The New Adventures of Old Christine”).
