Too Much Valderrama?

Wilmer Valderrama, best known as quirky foreign-exchange student Fez on That 70's Show, may be returning to Fox in the fall. The network has acquired the script for a new hour-long comedy, The Emancipation of Ernesto, with Valderrama attached as star and co-executive producer.

The show will follow Valderrama, as Ernesto, as he avoids the temptations of L.A. and searches for his father.

I love That 70's Show, and still watch the reruns all the time in syndication, but I don't know if I see Valderrama as someone you can take in hour-long doses. Especially when he's the focus of the entire show and not part of a larger ensemble. Time will tell.
