CBS is turning out to be a nice landing spot for North Carolina actresses lately. Just a few weeks ago, Kinston native Jaime Pressly signed on with "How I Met Your Mother" creators for a new unnamed CBS sitcom, and now Charlotte/Raleigh native Sharon Lawrence has been cast in a new Josh Schwartz sitcom pilot for the network called "Hitched."

"Hitched" will center around a newlywed couple, played by Kristin Kreuk and Jack Carpenter, and their family and friends. Lawrence will play the "well-meaning but nosy" mother of Kreuk's character.
