SitcomsOnline Digest: Emmy Nominations Announced; Chuck Lorre to Bring Pot Comedy to Netflix
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- Emmy nominations were announced this week, and of course, there is a full list of everything that was nominated for anything. (Deadline)
- Chuck Lorre has made a name for himself as sort of the king of CBS sitcoms that people either really love or really hate over the past decade or more, but his next project brings him to Netflix, with a marijuana sitcom starring Kathy Bates. (Variety)
- ABC has relaunched their online streaming service, and it now includes vintage series from the ABC Studios library such as Felicity and Ellen. (LA Times)
- Tatyana Ali, of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air fame, is suing Warner Bros after claiming that the concept of talk show The Real was stolen from her. (Deadline)
- getTV has been working on carving a niche as a destination for rare and forgotten TV series, and this week, more of those rare and forgotten TV series were added to the lineup. (SitcomsOnline)
HOME MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS
- As we mentioned last week, Sony released Grady on DVD earlier this week, but as it turns out, it isn't quite the complete series. The release, called The Best of Grady, is actually one episode short of the full series, as the third episode of the series is missing.
TUESDAY (JULY 19) HOME MEDIA RELEASES

- Bob's Burgers - The Complete 5th Season (DVD, $29.95): The animated Fox comedy returns to DVD as a MOD release in this set.
- Sisters - Season Five (DVD, $39.93): Shout! Factory continues with this series on DVD.
