Sclemeel, schlemazel

The rumors are (allegedly) true!

TV Land is developing a scripted buddy comedy starring Penny "Laverne" Marshall and Cindy "Shirley" Williams.

They are also developing a show where stars of famous old shows must go do the ACTUAL job they were famous for on the show, i.e. Loni Anderson of WKRP goes to work at a radio station or Harry Anderson of Night Court goes to work in the legal system.

Funny executions of this idea I'd like to see:
Ann B. Davis "Alice" goes to work as a live-in maid for a blended family with a show-tune lovin' dad.

Not so funny executions of this idea I would NOT like to see:
Alan Alda "Hawkeye" goes to war....
