Cloris Leachman has agreed to
step into the middle of an untitled NBC sitcom about two brothers "on opposite sides of the law", who live
next door to each other. She'll play the mother of the law man and the con man. The brothers will be played by Eddie McClintock (Crumbs) and Craig Bierko.Leachman recently won an Emmy in 2002 as Grandma Ida on Malcolm in the Middle. And, in my humble opinion, she played a marvelous wine-soaked, ex-jazz singer in Spanglish. And, who can forget Young Frankenstein? Or Phyllis? Let's hope this new comedy gives her some good material. This lady is a comedic genius.

She is great. Hillarious on Malcolm in the Middle even during its 7th season, despite terrible writing.
