Podcasts continue to not only stick around, but are getting mined more and more for TV adaptations.

Elizabeth Laime has built a mini-podcast empire from The Totally Laime podcast and has now gotten to the much coveted next level with developing a show based on her audio dispatches.

Tami Sagher, who you probably saw in Don’t Think Twice this summer, will be writing the project with her and we can only hope that this makes far in the development process to offer some more contrast considering CBS’ new comedy line-up this fall is heavy on white male leads that have to put up with annoying millennials in Kevin Can Wait, The Great Indoors, and Man With a Plan.

Not only is it a sitcom following an ex-convict, but one that ends up being an in-home health aide.

The great comedic forces of Elizabeth Laime, Casey Wilson, and June Diane Raphael are coming together for an intriguing addition to ABC’s comedy development slate. Laime is writing what is called Crystal and Wilson and Raphael are attached as producers, which serves as good cause to keep a close eye on this project.

Hopefully, we won’t be getting our hopes in vain like we did when ABC had a pilot with June Diane Raphael, Kristen Schaal, and Jenny Slate.
