• Meanwhile, the drama with the original star of Roseanne is seemingly never ending. (Washington Post)
• Fifteen years is a long time for any scripted series to be airing, especially when the network that originally aired the series (The WB) is now defunct, and now The CW series Supernatural will be coming to an end after next season. (Variety)

• That isn't all of the news that TVShowsOnDVD has for this week, they are also reporting that VEI is finally planning to release Evening Shade - The Complete Series sometime soon, though no date was given on it.

• Decades has a binge of Hunter this weekend.
• The final season of Jane the Virgin begins on Tuesday on The CW.
• The new comedy Abby's debuts Thursday night on NBC.
