Burnett signs on for TV sitcom

Carol Burnett fans: You’d be glad to have some more time with this comedy legend. She’s likely headed back to TV in a project Amy Poehler will executive produce. Poehler publicist Lewis Kay and ABC have confirmed the project, a so-called “put pilot” deal for a multi-camera sitcom. The premise has a family buying a home, but they have to share it with the old woman who already lives there. Burnett, 83, has had a six-decade run on stage, in films and especially on television, where The Carol Burnett Show aired for 11 seasons on CBS, wrapping in 1978. She has a recurring role on Hawaii Five- O.
