SitcomsOnline Digest: Goldbergs Spinoff Happening After All; Grey's Anatomy Renewed for Fifteenth Season
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- Remember that spinoff of The Goldbergs that got a lot of attention over a year ago before the entire idea being aborted? It turns out that it is going to happen after all, following a positive response to airing the pilot as an episode of the series. (CinemaBlend)
- ABC has renewed Grey's Anatomy for a fifteenth season, which means The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet is being dethroned as ABC's longest running scripted sitcom. (Variety)
- We're not sure if anybody even remembered that CBS was still airing Living Biblically, but now they aren't at all, as it has been pulled from the lineup due to low ratings. (Hollywood Reporter)
- The Murphy Brown reboot has added Tyne Daly to the cast. (Deadline)
- As we await the new fall season, CBS has went ahead and renewed several series. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (APRIL 21 - APRIL 28)
