SitcomsOnline Digest: Greatest American Hero Reboot for ABC?; One Day at a Time Complete Series DVD Release On the Way

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This weekend, we're getting ready for the new fall season of television, but also looking well beyond that with more reboot news of yet another series, a celebration for the 50th anniversary of a CBS classic, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

HOME MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS

We didn't quite see this one coming, but One Day at a Time is not only being continued on DVD, but we'll see the entire series in one big swoop, with One Day at a Time - The Complete Series, set for a release on December 5 from Shout! Factory.
Shout! Factory is also releasing Police Woman - Season Three, on December 19.

TUESDAY (SEPTEMBER 12) HOME MEDIA RELEASES

The Big Bang Theory - The Complete Tenth Season (DVD, $44.98; Blu-ray, $49.99): It's hard to believe they're already finished with the tenth season, but it arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in this release.
The Goldbergs - The Complete Third Season (DVD, $26.99); The Goldbergs - The Complete Fourth Season (DVD, $26.99): Just ahead of the fifth season, Sony brings the fourth season (as well as the third season that they somehow failed to release a year ago as they normally would) of the series to DVD in two separate releases.
