Television is welcoming Penny Marshall home. The woman who began her
career on the popular sitcoms "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley,"
then went on to direct "Big," "A League of Their Own" and "Riding in
Cars with Boys," has made a deal with Universal Network Television to
develop, produce and star in a comedy series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the beloved actor-director also has agreed to develop,
produce and possibly direct other series projects for the studio. She
already is meeting with writers from the Universal roster to discuss
ideas for her comedy vehicle, in which she will star or be a part of an
ensemble cast. She also is working on a drama project for the studio,
on which she would executive produce and direct the pilot.

I'm a huge L&S nut, so I'm glad Penny will be back on TV! Where are Michael McKean, David Lander, Betty Garrett & Eddie Mekka when we need them?! Cindy will be on a ABC show this week! I don't know which one unless I missed it!
