Think of it as "Chris Rock Me, Baby." Or, better yet, don't. UPN has greenlit a semi-autobiographical comedy from Chris Rock.

"Everybody Hates Chris" was originally developed by FOX as a possible late pilot addition last spring when it was a 20th Century Fox TV production. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the single-camera comedy has been moved to Paramount Network TV, where it will still be executive produced by Rock and Ali LeRoi along with Michael Rotenberg and Dave Becky of 3 Arts Entertainment.

The series is described as a coming-of-age comedy about the eldest of three African-American children raised by a strict family and attending a mostly white Brooklyn school in the 1980s. It's based on Rock's own experiences and the comic will reportedly narrate the pilot.

Rock recently completed an exhaustively hyped appearance as host of ABC's Oscar telecast. Rock is also a three-time Emmy winner, picking up trophies for his HBO special "Bring the Pain" as well as his regular HBO show. A cast member on both "Saturday Night Live" and "In Living Color," Rock's other credits include "New Jack City," "Bad Company" and the upcoming remake of "The Longest Yard."
