SitcomsOnline Digest: A Reboot for The Office Already?; More Roseanne Reboot Updates

• It's unbelievable that they're talking about doing it so soon, but the surprise of the week this week came as we learned that NBC is looking into bringing back The Office, but with so many of the cast members having moved on to other projects, who would even be in the cast? (Hollywood Reporter)
• Meanwhile, that Roseanne reboot over at ABC seems to have gotten everybody back on board, including both actresses who played Becky, and they've got a plan to use both of them too. (Deadline)
• Elizabeth Vargas will be exiting ABC News in May. (The Hill)
• While we will be keeping you updated of premieres and such in our new feature Weekly Planner, of course, Deadline has a list of all of the midseason premiere dates that have been announced so far. (Deadline)
• Fox aired a live musical version of A Christmas Story on Sunday, and it seems to have been a disaster when it comes to ratings and reviews. (Vanity Fair)
• Murder, She Wrote is joining the WGN America lineup. (SitcomsOnline)

• Just in time for Christmas, new episodes of Fuller House are now on Netflix.
• You can catch all of your favorite Antenna TV Christmas episodes this weekend with a very long marathon that runs from 1:00pm EST today and goes until 2:00am EST on Christmas night, with a bonus two hour block of New Year's Eve themed episodes beginning at 3:00am EST on Christmas night (or the morning of December 26, however you look at it).
• The broadcast networks have gone almost completely into holiday break mode this upcoming week, but if you're really craving something new, there is a lonely new episode of Great News on NBC on Thursday night at 9:30pm EST.
• It's not exactly a sitcom or even a TV series for that matter, but TBS and TNT will be airing their annual marathon of A Christmas Story (the original holiday classic, not whatever it was that Fox aired on Sunday) beginning Sunday night.
• The 40th Annual Kennedy Center Honors will air on CBS on Tuesday, with Norman Lear among the honorees.
• The Weekend Binge on Decades this weekend is Touched by an Angel.
