SitcomsOnline Digest: thirtysomething Reboot in the Works; Decades Celebrates Brady Bunch 50th Anniversary

- Actress Linda Porter, who has most recently appeared in several episodes of Superstore, has died at age 86. (People)
- The Viacom cable networks have acquired the rights to air Seinfeld, although in the current era, that isn't as major news as it was when Netflix acquired the streaming rights recently. (SitcomsOnline)
WEEKLY PLANNER (SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 4)

- Saturday Night Live is back tonight, supposedly without Alec Baldwin (we'll see, he has said that before), but it'll definitely have Woody Harrelson as host.
- Decades celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Brady Bunch this weekend with a marathon that includes several Brady related TV series.
- MeTV begins airing The Flintstones on Monday.
- For those who love animated comedies, Fox's Sunday night lineup returns tomorrow with new episodes, along with a new series, Bless the Harts, and on top of that, Cartoon Network has a new season of Robot Chicken.
