One more reason not to watch television, coming soon to a TV near you! amNewYork is reporting that "two of television's most recognizable voices (to put it very, very, very mildly and kindly) are coming together: Rosie O'Donnell and Fran Drescher."
The sitcom will be Manhattan-based and called The New Thirty; geared at the midlife crisis-set, the two will play old high school friends living in the same apartment building. Drescher described it as being similar to Sex and the City "but we ain't getting any."
Rosie hasn't been on the air since she left The View about a year ago, just after Drescher left the small screen when her show (that we just found out existed) called Living with Fran ended. If the show gets picked up, there is reportedly going to be a third cast member joining the two.

I'm trying to think of an as-objectionable third party to join the cast, but am struggling. Can Bill O'Reilly be the curmudgeonly homophobic sex-averse landlord?
Who will this show be targeted at? Older single women nostalgic for old fashioned laugh-track boring sitcoms? Isn't that what Seinfeld is for?
I would tap fran drescher.
Joan Rivers would make a nice addition to the cast.
this is too easy.
the d--e and the k--e.
Roseanne Barr for the third role?
Manhattan gives spinsterhood a bad name.
My first thought was, "This sounds like a female Odd Couple." Lo and behold, that's exactly how Drescher describes it. But even if it's good, nobody will ever be able to match the comic chemistry of Tony Randall and Jack Klugman. Just ask Ron Glass and Demond Wilson how hard it is.
shut up, the nanny was awesome
Couldn't they have called it "T-Rex And The City"?
YAY ROSIES BACK. LOVE HER. How about kathy Griffin?
