Bob Saget, once known as the warm and welcoming Danny Tanner on Full House, could be returning to the network that made him a star. Saget plays the lead in the series Surviving Suburbia, which was supposed to air on the CW this year, but after the CW decided to change up its Sunday programming, the show was orphaned β and now ABC might want it.
According to Variety, the production company behind the show kept working on it even after the CW turned it down, and so now it has 13 episodes done and ready for some network to buy. ABC apparently wants to get some more traditional comedies, and Surviving Suburbia sounds like just that: The show centers on a suburban family whose lives are turned upside down by some new neighbors who move in next door.
Ever since Full House, Saget's probably become better known for his raunchy standup, so I'm wondering: Could you take him seriously these days as a sweet surburban dad? To check out a video of him talking about Surviving Suburbia βΒ along with a number of the other shows that were supposed to air Sundays on the CW β just read more.

Hmm wonder how that's going to work since he's on CBS for HIMYM
1I like the idea for the show so I'd definitely check it out.
2Yes, I'd LOVE to watch him in a sitcom again! He did a shortlived one in early 2000's with Kat Dennings called "Raising Dad". It was on about the same time as the Gina Davis sitcom and some other horrible ones, so it never got a good time slot, but it was actually a pretty good show.
Bob Saget is perfectly capable of being normal when he needs to be. I mean, look at Chris Rock! He does some REALLY raunchy stand up, but his sitcom seems to be pretty popular. I've never watched a single episode of it, but I'm assuming it's not a blue comedy.
3I'll give it a chance because I'm a fan of the anti-Danny Tanner Bob Saget and I think he's a neat guy. But, if it gets in the way of his HIMYM voiceover work, I might have objections. Priorities must be held.
4I remember Raising Dad; it was pretty funny. I would watch the show. It seems like it could be pretty funny.
5well i'd be interested in seeing him in a new show - it could be good for him - so we'll see if the network picks it up and airs it. we can all hope right? after seeing him on Entourage, i guess we can assume that he really wants to get back on TV
6should be good bob is an edgy stand up guy.Sitcoms are underrated.lots of law stuff,sitcoms have to be exceptional to get on the air and stay there,these days it takes real comedians (it's easier to be dramatic,reality "shows" jersey shore and on & and on)the osbornes were the first and last,Howards idea (with no creds given.Comercial tv is doing a few good sitcoms these days.They finally are getting it and hiring stand ups in front of camera,writing etc.i appreciate some good comedy,there is enough real on,news shows with more news scrolling under the other depressing 1000th the time i heard it story (and i pay for cable?,should pay me,more shows,less taste)spingsteen song 150 channels and nothing to watch,still true)we all know there are a few educational channels nat.geo etc.(the exceptions).real sitcoms-comedy rules!and getting better!not dark enough,what the hell do you want........
