The Story in Brief
Jamie Lee Curtis returns to sitcoms as producer and star of NBC's "Newlyweds", premiering in October. The comedy follows a middle-aged couple, played by real-life spouses Tea Leoni and Tim Daly, who marry after just days together. Curtis, playing the ex-wife, said she had "begged" agents for a sitcom role and wanted to be "the boss" as a producer.
The show was announced at NBCUniversal's Los Angeles presentation, which also teased the "Friday the 13th" prequel "Crystal Lake" starring Linda Cardellini. Curtis called the multi-camera format her "favourite job" for its rehearsal rhythm and live audience energy.
The Indian Opinion
The common narrative that Hollywood royalty can pick any project ignores that Curtis had to create this sitcom herself after years of waiting. While multi-camera comedies are often written off as formulaic, the craft of live audience timing is rare. The real test will come in October: how many viewers still tune in for a traditional laugh-track show in the streaming age?
