Family values: Wayans back for ABC sitcom - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Damon Wayans, star of ABC's long-running comedy "My Wife & Kids," will reunite with the network for another family sitcom.

The untitled project is said to be edgier than "Wife" and will star Wayans as a recent widower who has to take in the 19-year-old stepson he never knew. Like "Wife," it will be written and executive produced by Wayans and Don Reo.

"Wife," which starred Wayans as a father of three, bowed out in April 2005 after five seasons. Since then, Wayans and Reo had been looking to collaborate on a new series project and, after bouncing around different ideas, settled on the premise of a widower living with his stepson.

The project garnered interest from several networks before landing at ABC with a script commitment.

The Wayans/Reo project marks the second multicamera family comedy starring a black comedian that ABC has in the works for next season. The network starts production next week on a sitcom pilot starring Cedric the Entertainer.

AMEN!! Damon, please don't ruin this as you did with MWAK after the second season. This definetely has some potential. If not on ABC, definetely with CW or Fox.
