John Amos, Ethan Suplee and Sydney Park have been added to the cast of CBS’ Martin Lawrence comedy pilot, which stars Lawrence as Ty, A widowed father of two teenagers who, after losing his job in construction, decides to become a rookie cop at age 46. Mary Tyler Moore Show alum Amos will play Captain Lorenzo, Ty’s commanding officer, an erudite, antique-collecting family man who is very tough and no-nonsense under his deceptively calm demeanor. My Name Is Earl alum Suplee will play Travis, Ty’s new partner, an earnest, exuberant, straight-shooter. Park will play Kim, Ty’s 16-year-old daughter.

This show is putting together a pretty good cast. Now please have a great script to go along with it so this show can get the green light.
I like Suplee and Amos, but enough to get me to watch a Martin Lawrence sitcom? Probably not.
This is most likely the general consensus throughout the office (I’ve certainly found it to be).
This office doesn’t seem too bright.
Can’t lose with John Amos – he can do comedy and drama. He was also, by the way, in a little show called “Good Times.”
Now I’m interested. LOVE Ethan!
John Amos and Ethan Suplee are amazing!
ethan suplee makes me laugh every time
This show sounds funny.
Just order it to series already, it’s running laps around everything else.
Amos steals every scene in Coming to America. Love that guy!
Great cast surprisingly put together so last minute. I hope the pilot turns out well.
Ok much is expected when martin lawrence is involved in comedy, hope he lives up to it, this could be a great sitcom.
It’s CBS. Just a friendly reminder.
Love Amos since “Coming to America”. Cant wait to see that
