SitcomsOnline Digest: Live PD Most Watched Show for 2018; Parks & Recreation and The Office Get New Homes on TV

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This is the week that we like to call "the week we tried," because it's perhaps the slowest news week of the year as we prepare for the new year. In the meantime, we do have some news about the most watched show of 2018 (it's not what you'd expect, or maybe it is) and a few new programming acquisitions for networks in 2019. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

When we think of most watched shows, something like Live PD on A&E probably doesn't come to mind, but it seems it was the most watched show of 2018, at least according to one survey. (Deadline)
