Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! Pilot season (and the new fall lineups) are literally coming up on us within days, but until then, we've got news of a new Fox series starring (not just produced by) Seth MacFarlane, renewal of a Hulu favorite, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • If you have the digital broadcast network getTV, you'll want to watch their new lineup, which adds new sitcoms and dramas that haven't been aired in several years to the daily schedule. (SitcomsOnline)

Claim to Fame: With Mad About You - The Complete Series arriving on DVD last week, we featured Helen Hunt, who was one of the stars of the series. This week, we feature the other one, Paul Reiser. Though he came to fame as a standup comedian, his first major sitcom role was in the series My Two Dads. The series was actually somewhat short-lived at only three seasons, but it left a lasting impression. His biggest role, of course, was in Mad About You. After that, he had his own sitcom, The Paul Reiser Show, which was not a hit at all, but currently he is back in action on the Amazon Prime series Red Oaks.
