MULTICAM SITCOM THE PORCH

In a season in which we will get pretty much no new comedies and some networks have even killed comedy hours in their programmes, this is definitely a happy news: after
Mom,
Jaime Pressly will return to
CBS with new multicam sitcom
THE PORCH! The story which she wrote and is co producing with
Susan McMartin revolves around recently divorced LJ (
Jaime Pressly), who returns home to the small North Carolina island she couldn’t wait to leave to bury a mom she couldn’t stand. She finds herself staying far longer than she ever imagined, reconnecting with the “porch” folks she never felt a part of and falling in love for the first time with the train wreck of a mother who is no longer alive. I hear that other networks competed for the show too in a heated battle.

MichaelCaine plays Harris Shaw, an ornery, outdated writer at the center of Lina Roessler’s gentle literary comedy! As Variety reports, he has been creatively blocked for 50 years since producing one vastly acclaimed novel. Stymied by his own one-time success, he needs to be dragged into an era that has largely left him behind to be freed as an artist! This cranky, retired author reluctantly embarks on a final book tour to help out a young publisher played by
Aubrey Plaza.The cast also includes
Cary Elwes and
Scott Speedman, whom I personally, haven't seen in a long while.
