Are You Ready For A Britney Sitcom?

Did you enjoy Britney's cameo role on the US comedy 'How I Met Your Mother'? Then you could soon find yourself tuning in regularly for a whole nights worth of Miss Spears, if claims today that Brit's Dad is trying to get his daughter her own television show run true. Jamie has reportedly been hoping the Toxic singer can get a regular role on a sitcom, in a bid to get her career back on track. It's believed her latest appearance brought the show its highest ratings since it debuted in 2005, attracting 10.6 million viewers, and the singer received some critical acclaim for the brief performance. A source close to the family said:

"Britney did a great job on 'How I Met Your Mother.' She got the show its highest ratings yet, but more importantly for Jamie, he wants his daughter at a normal 9-to-5 job to keep her working and out of trouble. A sitcom would do that. So he's exploring several offers for Britney to have her own show."

Troubled Spears, 26, has also been offered a guest-starring stint on Alec Baldwin-starring sitcom, 30 Rock, the New York Post reports. And while the mother-of-two is back in the studio working on a new album, other sources believe it's Jamie's "tough love" that is getting her back on track. Picture by Splash News

Actually, Britney herself did not get the show it's highest ratings...it was a several things including Britney's appearance. People who normally watch the show tuned in, the Britney fans tuned in, the curiosity seekers tuned in and Sarah Chalke's fan following tuned in.Britney was only on as a cameo appearance and she was on screen very little. It's crazy to tout Britney as the sole factor in the show's ratings. A full sitcom or Britney? I think that would be a big mistake.
