SitcomsOnline Digest: Parks and Recreation Reunion Special to Air Thursday; HBO Max Sets Debut Slate

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we are hearing about a Parks and Recreation reunion that is coming next week, learning more about HBO Max, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
  • The cast of Parks and Recreation is getting back together (at a distance, of course), for a special on Thursday night. (Entertainment Weekly)
  • The fifth season of Superstore ended a bit earlier than planned, so it looks like some loose ends (including the departure of America Ferrera) will need to be wrapped up next season. (Deadline) 
  • We're getting close to the launch of HBO Max, and we're getting an early look at what will be on the launch for the premiere. (Deadline)
  • We missed this one a few weeks ago, but it looks like Disney+ is rebooting Doogie Howser, MD. (AV Club)
  • Nobody really knows what will be renewed or canceled for next season, particularly since the pandemic changed the dynamics of pilot season. (Deadline)
  • Tom Lester, who played Eb on Green Acres, has died at age 81. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (APRIL 25 - MAY 1)

  • Antenna TV has binges of The Partridge Family today and Three's Company tomorrow, though they have been shortened to 12-6 now.
  • Decades has a binge of Diagnosis Murder all weekend.
  • The Parks and Recreation special previously mentioned will air Thursday on NBC.
  • A new "at home" episode of Saturday Night Live will air tonight.
