- ABC's Thursday night TGIT lineup is preparing for a crossover event next month. (Deadline)
- Once Upon a Time will be coming to an end after the current season is over. (Variety)
- It may have not gotten all of the attention that the other reality music competition series got, but Fox's The Four: Battle for Stardom performed well enough in the ratings to justify a second season, which will air in the summer. (TVLine)
- Character actor Mickey Jones, who appeared in the recurring role of construction worker Pete on Home Improvement (among other series), died this week at age 76. (Variety)
