Postcards From the Tube: Carrie Fisher, who chronicled the bellicose relationship of a mother and daughter in the novel “Postcards From the Edge,” is producing a comedy television series starring her mother, Debbie Reynolds. Fisher will produce the still-untitled series through her own production company, Deliquesce Inc. Reynolds will star as a grandmother involved in the lives of her daughter and granddaughter. Janis Hirsch, who co-produced “Anything but Love,” will be executive producer. CBS has committed to buying at least six shows. “Postcards From the Edge” was published in 1987. Fisher, who starred in the “Star Wars” trilogy, also wrote the screenplay for the 1990 film, which starred Meryl Streep as a drug-addicted actress and Shirley MacLaine as her alcoholic mother.
