CBS has cut a deal with "Seinfeld" star Jason Alexander for a half-hour sitcom based on the life of a married father of two. "The Simpsons" writer Jeff Martin has written the show, tentatively titled "Shut Up and Listen". "Seinfeld" director Andy Ackerman will helm the sitcom as well as produce.

Alexander will play a married television journalist raising children. "It's not trying to do something incredibly new and different," he said. "(But) I go into this saying, 'This is a good show.' It's good material and has the potential to really grow and be a lovely, funny, touching unique show."

That's some come back from the Rold Gold commericals.

I'm wondering though if he should just stick to what has worked in the past (i.e. the only show he's ever truly been excellent in). I'm sure he has lots of imagination and material, but Kastanza was hillarious.

Wha'chall' think?
