Fox is developing a half-hour comedy revolving around “American Idol” finalist Kellie Pickler, says Variety.

Pickler will play a naive small-town Southern girl — a character based on herself — who discovers that her biological father is the state’s well-respected governor. His presidential dreams are put in jeopardy, but the two form a father-daughter relationship that winds up helping his standing in the polls.

Twentieth Century Fox TV is behind the project, along with Watson Pond and “Idol” producer 19 Entertainment. Watson Pond’s Brad Johnson and 19’s Simon Fuller and Malcolm Young will executive produce.

Chris Peterson and Bryan Moore (“That ’70s Show”) will write and create the project, which has landed a script order.

Being very in touch with my own Southern roots, I have been a fan of Kellie Pickler from day one.

Personally, I think taking her naive personality and mixing it with the writers of That 70’s Show will create an awesome mix.

What can I say, I’m addicted to That 70’s Show, still!

I can hardly wait!  What about you?
