"Welcome to The Captain" (previously known as "The Captain") is an American television comedy created, executive produced and directed by John Hamburg. Andrew Reich and Ted Cohen also serve as executive producers. The show is about a young writer (Fran Kranz) whose life changes when he moves into a legendary old Hollywood apartment building.

Produced by CBS Paramount Network Television and John & Anders, the series was greenlit and given a six-episode order in June 2007. ["DEVELOPMENT UPDATE: WEEK OF JUNE 4-8", [http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=7405 The Futon Critic] ]

["Welcome to The Captain" at [http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch.aspx?id=captain The Futon Critic] ] , but the show was halted after its fifth episode aired due to poor ratings. The final nail in the coffin for the show was when Fran Kranz signed on to the upcoming FOX series, Dollhouse, effectively canceling the CBS sitcom.
