New sitcom for Tom Arnold

NEW YORK, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Tom Arnold is set for a new sitcom based loosely on his experience as stepfather to Roseanne's three children.

Arnold, currently co-host of Fox Sports Net work's "The Best Damn Sports Show Period," was married to Roseanne for four years.

But in the new project, he will star as a single man who lives next door to a mother with three kids and winds up taking care of the children, the New York Post said.

ABC has ordered a script from writer-producers Josh Sternin and Jeff Ventimilia of Fox's "That '70s Show."
