SitcomsOnline Digest: The Conners Second Season Looking Likely; Apple to Produce New Peanuts Content

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a renewal of an ABC comedy, some new Peanuts content, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
  • A lot of naysayers said The Conners wouldn't make it through a full season, but it looks like ABC wants a second season of it. (Deadline) 
  • The gang from Peanuts is getting a new life from the next company that will be jumping into the streaming content business, Apple. (Rolling Stone)
  • Tisha Campbell is getting a recurring role (in yet another replacement on the series that seems to keep recasting characters) on Last Man Standing. (Deadline)
  • Love him or hate him, and to be fair he is both responsible for some of broadcast TV's biggest hits and also blamed by others for the decline of broadcast TV, Chuck Lorre is set to be honored at the Critics' Choice Awards. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • Cybill Shepherd says that her sitcom, Cybill, ended after she rejected Les Moonves' advances. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • ABC has picked up a new comedy starring Lake Bell and Dax Shepard. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (DECEMBER 15 - DECEMBER 14)
St. Elsewhere Cast
  • It sort of went under the radar when it happened (a month and a half ago), but if you want a binge of a solid quality medical drama, all six seasons of St. Elsewhere are finally available on Hulu.
  • Matt Damon, Mark Ronson, and Miley Cyrus are all part of tonight's Saturday Night Live episode, the last one before the series takes a Christmas break.
  • "Whatever will be, will be" on Decades this weekend, with a full weekend of The Doris Day Show.
  • The series finale of Timeless airs Thursday night on NBC.
  • ABC looks back at the celebrities that we've lost this year on Monday night, with 2018: In Memoriam.
