HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
  • If you're a fan of British shows, HBO Max will have several of those when it launches as they will be the exclusive home for the BBC library, including the original UK version of The Office. (Entertainment Weekly) 
  • Here's something that actually won't be rebooted: Dawson's Creek. (Entertainment Weekly)
