BBC Commissions Seventh Season of My Family

LONDON, August 17: DLT Entertainment has received a
commission from BBC One for a 9×30-minute seventh season of My Family, along with 50-minute Christmas special.

Through its sixth series, the sitcom regularly achieved a
viewing share of 30 percent or more in its Friday prime-time slot. Don Taffner
Jr., the president of DLT, noted, “There has been much speculation in the press
regarding the death of the traditional sitcom, and this commission is evidence
that when you get that magical combination of writing and casting right,
traditional sitcoms can still be a much loved and well received form of
comedy.”
