Not Sure if this belongs here, but move it if you have to.

Don't get excited by the title, or the idea.

Will Smith is not reprising his role in 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' sitcom.

The double Academy Award nominated actor is developing a sitcom based on 'Hitch,' the 2005 hit romantic comedy in which he played a professional "date doctor."

The former hip-hop superstar turned Hollywood royalty is attached as an executive producer of the small-screen version, but will not star, The Hollywood Reporter said.




The project is expected to be pitched to the networks shortly.

'Hitch' -- the TV series -- is set up at Smith's very production company, Overbrook Entertainment. Other shows reportedly in development include: 'Uncle Rudy,' a family comedy starring Big Boi of the hip-hop duo OutKast; 'Raw Materials,' a relationship comedy for ABC; 'Almost,' a supernatural drama for A&E; and 'Gimmee Twenty,' a special starring investment guru Mellody Hobson, at ABC News.

On the big screen, look for the Philadelphia native in Warner Bros. film 'I Am Legend.

A lot of projects under their belt. I'm looking forward to film version of I Am Legend even though they've strayed from the details.

As for the TV shows... I can't imagine Mellody Hobson in a show called Gimmee Twenty. Eek.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off
