ABC CALLS UP STARS OF PAST FOR NEW SITCOMS
Delta Burke is back and ABC's got her. Likewise, Julie Andrews and Linda Lavin and Hal Linden, all of whom have their own sitcoms shaping up on prime-time's third-place network.
Even the "Fonz" himself, Henry Winkler, will host a "Happy Days" reunion special in March.
ABC is also bringing back the "Twin Peaks" producer team of David Lynch and Mark Frost, this time with a half-hour sitcom about the "Lester Guy Show," a fictitious live TV variety program that supposedly aired in the 1950s. The series, titled "On the Air," will debut in the spring.
But ABC does have its share of chestnuts returning to prime time one more time.
Julie Andrews, who hosted an ABC variety series in 1972, will get her own comedy series this year, tentatively titled "Julie."
"Designing Women's" Delta Burke will have her own as-yet-untitled series, beginning next fall, and Hal ("Barney Miller") Linden returns with a dramedy hour called "Jack's Place." Linda ("Alice") Lavin will also return with a half-hour mom-and-daughter comedy.
