Production on the new untitled David Kohan/Max Mutchnick TV series is in full swing -- and on hand to witness the action -- none other than Hollywood legend Steven Spielberg. No, he's not producing or directing ... just watching!
Stevie was on set to lend support to his wife, Kate Capshaw, and stepdaughter Jessica Capshaw, who are starring in the new sitcom. A TMZ spy tells us that while Jessica is funny and entertaining, Kate's not so great. Sorry, mom!
Being married to a genius doesn't necessarily rub off, but in Hollywood, being related to one helps!

Britney Spears, a Louisiana native, will celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans later this month when the devastated city hopes to revive some its old partying ways.
"I am honored to be a part of the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans this year," Spears said in a statement Monday. "It is so important for this amazing city to continue its annual traditions and I am really looking forward to being involved."
The 24-year-old pop star will appear on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Feb. 28 (7 a.m EST), when the morning show reports live from New Orleans. ABC announced that Spears will bring "surprises for a group of very deserving young residents."
The Mardi Gras parade season will run from Feb. 18-28; Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras Day, is Feb. 28.
Spears grew up in Kentwood, and has participated in fundraisers for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The singer also will guest star April 13 on NBC's "Will & Grace."
Last week, photos were published of Spears driving with her 4-month-old son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap instead of being strapped to a car seat in the back seat. She first blamed pursuits by the paparazzi, but later said it was a "mistake."
On Monday, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta chided Spears as "irresponsible" for driving with her baby son on her lap and announced a new initiative to improve child car seat safety.
