Carol Burnett is on the path to returning to TV.
ABC on Thursday placed a pilot order for Household Name, a multi-camera sitcom exec-produced by Amy Poehler and starring Burnett.
The potential series follows a family who can only move into their dream house if they agree to cohabitate with the actress who currently lives there (Burnett) until her death.
Michael Saltzman (Halt and Catch Fire) wrote the pilot and will EP with Poehler, Brooke Posch (Difficult People), Michael Pelmont and Dave Becky. Universal TV will produce.
Burnett, a multiple Emmy winner, is best known for leading her eponymous sketch comedy series in the 1960s and 1970s. Her 60-year career in television has included stints on All My Children, Mad About You, Glee, Hot in Cleveland and most recently Hawaii Five-0.
