Lifetime is going farming with Roseanne Barr.

Cabler has ordered 16 half-hour episodes of an untitled reality skein that will feature Barr and her boyfriend, Johnny Argent, as they run a macadamia and livestock farm in Hawaii. Skein is set to premiere later this year.

Series will be produced by 3 Ball Prods./Eyeworks USA. Barr, JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Brant Pinvidic, and Steven Greener are exec producers.

Greenlight comes only a week after network topper Nancy Dubuc ordered two new dramas for the femme-skewing cabler: "Exit 19" and "Against the Wall," which upped the net's original scripted series to four.

"Exit 19," from ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios, stars Ally Walker as an L.A. homicide detective raising two sons as a divorcee. "Against the Wall," from Universal Cable Prods., stars Rachael Carpani plays a Chicago police detective who upsets her family of cops when she joins Internal Affairs.

Barr hasn't appeared much on television in recent years. Her self-titled sitcom ran for nine seasons on ABC from 1988-97.

Said Dubuc: "Roseanne is funny and brutally honest, and our audience will relate to her decision to go on this adventure and create an entirely new life for herself."

...to associate Roseanne with "nut farm" (as in, "Hasn't she been released from one, lately?").

I certainly wish her luck with this series, but I have a feeling it's going to dissipate, as almost all of her recent TV projects have "unraveled".
