SitcomsOnline Digest: CSI Limited Series for the 20th Anniversary?; ABC Orders Comedy Pilots

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's a bit of a slow news week as pilots (many of which we'll never see make it to air) and casting for them are coming together, but we do have some news about some of those pilots for ABC, news of a limited series revival of something that dominated CBS in the first decade of the century, and more. Let's get going!
