The entertainment news website Deadline.com is reporting the exciting Nickelodeon news in the following article that legendary television creator/actor/producer Garry Marshall, who ruled the sitcom world in the 1970's with hit comedies "Happy Days", "Laverne & Shirley", "Mork & Mindy" and "The Odd Couple", has teamed with prolific producer Aaron Kaplan for a currently untitled brand-new multi-camera comedy project for Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids and families!

The all-new multiple camera comedy series, based on an idea by Kaplan, will star a all-kid cast (aged between 10-to-12 years old) who will be playing grown-up characters in the vein of Alan Parker's gangster musical movie "Bugsy Malone", which starred a young Scott Baio and Jodie Foster.

Framed as a crime procedural, the sitcom centers on a male cop, his District Attorney (DA) brother and the female judge they both have a crush on. Also a corrupt mayor and the woman who runs the local "malt shoppe" who is "connected".

Marshall will co-write the script with his son, director Scott Marshall ("Keeping Up With The Steins"), and is set to direct. Garry Marshall, Scott Marshall and Kaplan will executive produce.

Kaplan and the Marshalls all have a recent history with Nickelodeon. The Kaplan-produced breakout Nick at Nite/NickMom comedy series "Instant Mom" recently had its freshman season expanded to 26 episode and was renewed for a 20-episode second season. Kaplan also produced Nick's comedy series "Wendell & Vinnie". Meanwhile, Garry Marshall recently guest starred on the hit Nick at Nite comedy series "See Dad Run", in which he was reunited with "Happy Days" star Scott Baio, in an episode that was directed by Scott Marshall. The father-son duo previously teamed to write a multi-camera project for Fox last season. Following a successful TV run, Garry Marshall segued to feature directing, helming such films as "Pretty Woman", "The Princess Diaries", "Beaches" and "Runaway Bride". Garry Marshall is repped by CAA; Scott Marshall is with Preferred Artists.

Nickelodeon has also reportedly picked up a brand-new untitled Drill Sergeant comedy project from Tia Mowry-Hardrict, star of Nick at Nite's brand-new, live-action family comedy series, "Instant Mom", and the show's executive producer Aaron Kaplan. Loosely based on Mowry-Hardrict's upbringing, the comedy will revolve around a 12-year-old girl who lives on an Army base with her drill sergeant mother. Dan Kopelman ("Rules Of Engagement") will pen the script and executive produce with Mowry-Hardrict and Kaplan through his Kapital Entertainment:

"I'm thrilled to be able to tell my Digital Spy family first officially that I'm to take part in the upcoming series of Splash! for ITV," Anna told Digital Spy.

"The training is hardcore but under the watchful eye of coach Tom Daley I'm starting to learn the art of diving. [...] It's so much harder than it looks, trust me, and the heights are petrifying!"

Anna Williamson, who is a ambassador for Mind and a key supporter and children's counsellor at children's helpline ChildLine, also told Digital Spy that her work with mental health Mind and children's charities inspired her to sign up for the show.

"As a ChildLine counsellor I work with young people on facing their fears, and helping them set personal goals," she explained.

"I've decided to practice what I preach and give Splash! a go, tackling my own fear of swimming pools and heights!"

She added: "Hopefully I don't bottle it on the live show!"

Taking to Twitter shortly after announcing her part in Splash! on Saturday 21st December 2013, she said: "Thanks for your lovely comments re @splashITV - training is hard, I have multiple bruises as proof, but enjoying it. Great bunch of peeps."

Anna is currently starring in Cinderella alongside EastEnders star Matt Lapinskas at The Churchill Theatre in Bromley. The panto will be running until 5th January 2014. The celebrity-jammed diving contest begins a day before Anna finishes her run as Cinders, leaving Anna with little time to swap her Cinderella frock for her swimming costume.
