SitcomsOnline Digest: New Netflix Series to Include Full House Reboot; More Lucy on Blu-ray; Mill Creek Wrapping Up Married... with Children
- Even though we've been talking about it for months, we sort of thought it was only a joke that would never come to fruition, but amazingly, it looks as if Fuller House is a real thing that is coming to Netflix. (TV.com)
- Aziz Ansari is getting a new comedy series on Netflix as well, it seems. (Time)
- Grey's Anatomy fans are incredibly upset after the developments on Thursday night's episode (don't click on this link if you don't know why). (New York Post)
- Friday night has typically been described as a time slot where things go to die, but don't tell that to the 16.9 million Americans who watched Diane Sawyer's interview with Bruce Jenner. (LA Times)
- Sawyer Sweeten, who played the role of one of the twins on Everybody Loves Raymond, died this week at the age of 19. (New York Times)
- Even if we don't know if they want to live in the Fuller House yet, Nickelodeon is getting a whole lot of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. (SitcomsOnline)
HOME MEDIA HIGHLIGHT
- It seemed a bit uncertain whether or not CBS was going to move ahead with more I Love Lucy on Blu-ray, but now we know that I Love Lucy - Ultimate Season 2 will be coming to Blu-ray on July 14. While it comes at a $129.99 MSRP, it is worth noting that the first season was released at a similar MSRP and now sells for about 1/3 that amount.
- We can't seem to find a preorder link for it just yet, but Mill Creek's website isn't going to leave Married... with Children fans without the final season, as they will release Married... with Children - Season 11 on July 7.
APRIL 28 HOME MEDIA RELEASES
- I Love Lucy - I Love Mom Edition (DVD, $16.98): CBS puts together some of the best mom-centric episodes of the series in this single disc release.
- The Jeffersons - Season 7 (DVD, $24.97): Shout! Factory isn't forgetting about those fans of the series who did not purchase the complete series of this series, as they continue individual seasons of the series.
- Mama's Family - Mama's Favorites: Season 5 (DVD, $12.95): StarVista puts this value--priced collection together for those who just want "the best of" the Vicki Lawrence sitcom.
- Sgt. Bilko (The Phil Silvers Show) - The Second Season (DVD, $34.93): Shout! brings a season of another series that was previously released as a complete series to DVD.
