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
  • We would almost like to have a week where we aren't hearing about another reboot, but it won't be this week, as ABC is looking to reboot Greatest American Hero, with a female lead. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • The Carol Burnett Show is turning 50, and CBS is ready to celebrate in December. (Entertainment Weekly)
  • Amazon has ordered a trio of comedy pilots, and all of them are from veterans of successful comedies that we've seen in recent years. (Deadline)
  • Big Brother has been a staple of the CBS summer lineup for nearly two decades now, and this winter, they're going to do what every reality show eventually does: a celebrity version. (CNN) 
  • The Goldbergs (the ABC series, not the Gertrude Berg one of course) is headed to Nick at Nite in a little over a week. (SitcomsOnline) 

HOME MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS



TUESDAY (SEPTEMBER 12) HOME MEDIA RELEASES
The Big Bang Theory - The Complete Tenth Season (Blu-ray)
  • 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.
