Seinfeld helping to develop new sitcom

Jerry Seinfeld has had “a hand” in developing a new show for the FX channel, Lunatic Theater, the brainchild of two of his close friends, brothers Alan and Barry Marder, according to FoxNews.com’s Roger Friedman. “I’m told [Seinfeld] was very enthusiastic about the making of Lunatic Theater,” the columnist wrote, noting that the comedian lent “support and not just a few good lines” to the pilot. A spokesman for FX told Friedman that the sitcom “is one of 40 presentations we’re considering. Nothing’s been decided.”
