(Jan 28, 2012) *Fans of comedian
Martin Lawrence
will be happy to
know that the funnyman is returning to television.
CBS television is developing a pair of comedy plots for
Lawrence, with an eye toward shooting one of them as a pilot.
Larry Wilmore, creator of “The Bernie Mac Show”, and Tom Hertz,
“Rules of Engagement” creator, both have projects that will star
Lawrence, according to TV Guide.
In the Wilmore script, Lawrence would play a single man who,
along with his sister, becomes a foster parent to several
children.
Hertz’s sitcom would have Lawrence starring as a family man
trying to keep his kids grounded while dealing with his wealthy
in-laws.
A decision on which project will get the green light is
scheduled to be made in the coming weeks.
Lawrence was a laugh riot in the hit Fox comedy “Martin”, which
ran for five years.
Since then, he has appeared in the feature films “Bad Boys” and
“Big Momma’s House”, “National Security”, and “Welcome Home,
Roscoe Jenkins”. |
