Octavia Spencer content with new TV role

As the offers poured in for Oscar winner Octavia Spencer to join the many other film actors who have recently transitioned to television, she was clear on what she wanted.

For one, she didn't want to do a sitcom.

She had a recurring role on the first season of CBS' Mom, playing an addict with a looming prison sentence for embezzlement who befriends Allison Janney and Anna Farris' characters in Alcoholics Anonymous.
