Going from one of several writers for a television show to a producer is a big step to take. However, Bruin alumna Caroline Williams has done just that after moving from her seat in the writers’ room of the hit comedy “The Office” to now producer of her very own show, “Miss Guided.”

“Miss Guided,” which premiered March 18, is a half-hour comedy based on a script Williams wrote after graduating from UCLA in 2004 with a master’s in screenwriting.

The show, which airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC, stars Judy Greer (most recently of “27 Dresses”) as Becky Freeley who, many years after her geeky high school years are over, returns to that same school as a guidance counselor.

In the first episode, she falls for the Spanish teacher (Kristoffer Polaha) and is disappointed to find out that the popular homecoming queen during her high school years has returned as a fellow teacher.

“It’s definitely sort of a heightened reality of what working in a high school would be,” Williams said. “It’s a little bit more extreme, but there is a little bit of a love triangle and a little bit of office politics. It sort of has a little bit of everything.”
