SitcomsOnline Digest: Television Academy Hall of Fame Inductees Announced; Roswell Ready for Reboot

- New inductees for the Television Academy Hall of Fame have been announced, and they include Shonda Rhimes as well as the original cast of Saturday Night Live. (Hollywood Reporter)
- NBC has canceled The Night Shift, after four seasons and 5 episodes. (Variety)
- It has been a decade since The WB and UPN merged to become The CW, and now it seems they may be having their first reboot baby, as Roswell (which originally aired on The WB before being canceled and moving to UPN) is being considered for a reboot on The CW. (Variety)
- It didn't go unnoticed a few years ago when allegations against Bill Cosby were first revealed that 30 Rock had a scene a few years earlier that made those allegations in their fictional universe, and now, it seems the same series predicted the current events involving Harvey Weinstein on two separate occasions.
