“Desperate Housewives” Spinoff Featuring Lily Tomlin Kathryn Joosten
This could be fun….
Lily Tomlin and Kathryn Joosten — who play sneaky sisters Roberta and Karen McCluskey on the television comedy Desperate Housewives are in talks to star for their own spinoff show on ABC.
The pair – who both turn 70 this year — could find themselves with a new sitcom patterned after TV’s beloved ’80s classic, The Golden Girls, about four middle-aged women sharing living together in Miami.
A production source says the network hopes to get Desperate creator March Cherry involved: “Cherry clearly knows how to write for these two actresses. And we would love to have him involved.”
