Uhm WHY?

The BV Newswire has learned that the former Public Enemy hype-man turned reality TV sensation is set to make his sitcom acting debut in the new half-hour series 'Under One Roof.'

Flavor Flav (real name: William Jonathan Drayton, Jr.) plays Calvester Hill, an ex-convict that moves in with his wealthy, conservative brother, Walter (played by Kelly Perine).

Calvester subsequently turns the Hill family's life upside down, parading his old prison cronies through the house; teaching his nephew Walter Jr. to be a gangsta rapper; and butting heads with Walter's snooty wife, Ashley.

The MyNetworkTV network is banking on the show, directed by Brian Roberts and written by Danielle Quarles and Gelila Asres, and has ordered 13 episodes of it.

According to network spokesperson, 'Under One Roof' is scheduled to debut this spring."I am real excited," Flavor Flav said about the series. "I want to thank MyNetworkTV for believing in your boy because we are about to blow this out of the water. I am about to take MyNetworkTV and make it MY network."
Okay.

My Network President called the series "a classic fish out of water story" and said he was "thrilled: to be working with the rap pioneer.

Produced by C To The B Productions and Qtopia Entertainment, the show is currently in production in Toronto.

For those who don't know, MyNetworkTV is a primetime general entertainment broadcast television network, reaching over 97% of the country. Targeted to Adults 18-49, MyNetworkTV provides its affiliates 12 hours of diverse programming Monday through Saturday.

Since launching in September 2006 -- on many former UPN channels -- MyNetwork has aired a reality show on called 'Decision House,' starring Judge Lynn Toler ('Divorce Court') and daily nightime dramas 'Saints & Sinners' (starring Robin Givens) and 'Wicked Wicked Ways' (featuring Kim Porter).
