I caught the  sneak-sneak peek of Sherri on Lifetime  Network.  I say sneak-sneak peek  because to my surprise, it aired at 10 a.m. this morning.  I usually catch Sopranos on A&E at 8 a.m. followed by some Frasier on Lifetime.  And so just when I rolled over to go back to  sleep, I hear Sherri Shepherd and Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s voices.  And of course I’m thinking it’s a commercial  until the scenes kept on going.  I  checked the Lifetime  Network website and they didn’t even promote this airing time which I  thought was pretty clever.

The comedy  series stars Shepherd as a single mother who splits her time between working as  a paralegal and a part-time comedienne.   She is handling a recent divorce from her cheating husband (played by  Malcolm-Jamal Warner) and is steadily inching her way back into the dating  scene.  Sherri is produced by Lifetime Television  and also is the first comedy series to be solely owned by Lifetime.  Shepherd will continue her hosting bit on  “The View” while also serving as the co-executive producer and consultant for  the show.
