Applegate quits 'Up All Night'

Los Angeles, Feb 10 (IANS) Actress Christina Applegate has opted out of her TV show "Up All Night" and says she will miss its cast and crew.

"It's been a great experience working on 'Up All Night', but the show has taken a different creative direction, and I decided it was best for me to move on to other endeavours," the actress says in a statement, reports usmagazine.com.

"Working with (producer) Lorne Michaels has been a dream come true, and I am grateful he brought me into his TV family. I will miss the cast, producers, and crew, and wish them the best always," she added.

"Up All Night" is a NBC sitcom, which featured Applegate and Will Arnett as a hip married couple whose lives are turned upside-down when they unexpectedly have a kid. It was inspired by the real-life experiences of series creator Emily Spivey, who also quit the show in early January, prior to the sitcom's planned revamp.
