The Baub Show

March 7, 2011 - We are finally back and ready to begin a new season and our 70th show with friends Melissa Peterman and Lachlan Buchanan from CMT's new hit show, Working Class! Melissa Peterman, best known for playing Barbra Jean on the hit series Reba, now stars in her own sitcom, Working Class. She portrays Carli Mitchell, a single mom of three kids who moves them to upscale suburbia to give them a better life. Peterman is a longtime member of the CMT family, having hosted CMT's No. 1 rated series The Singing Bee and CMT's Comedy Stage. Her first televised comedy special Melissa Peterman: Am I the Only One?, also aired on CMT earlier this year, and she was most recently seen hosting the 2010 CMT Music Awards Red Carpet. Australian-born Lachlan Buchanan makes his series regular debut joining the cast of CMT's first sitcom Working Class. He stars in the role of Scott Mitchell, the challenging teenage son of Carli Mitchell, played by Melissa Peterman. Originally from Queensland, Australia, Buchanan began his young career performing mostly in TV guest roles, short films and television commercials. In 2008, he landed his first lead role in the Australian surf/coming of age feature film, Newcastle. The movie was well received by critics in multiple countries including Japan, Australia, the United States and the UK, with rave reviews for his individual performance. Shortly thereafter, he became a regular on the ABC TV series Blue Water High.
