Etheridge working on sitcom

Melissa Etheridge says she's working on a sitcom.

The show, still in development is about "what my life might have been like had I not left to find my fame and fortune, and stayed in Kansas and become a teacher and been gay and dealt with life there," Etheridge told Time magazine.

Etheridge doesn't want to rely on touring to make a living, and a television show would allow her to "be home for dinner."
