Shirley Jones is grabbing her wine glass and heading to "Cougar Town."

According to TBS, "The Partridge Family" veteran will play Anne, an elderly woman who buys Grayson's old house. However, there's a catch: Jules must spend time with her.

Anne is full of advice -- after all, she's Mama Partridge -- and dishes it out to Jules, whether Jules is into it or not. Sounds like "Cougar Town" just got a wacky neighbor in the form of an Oscar winner.
