SitcomsOnline Digest: Saturday Night Live to Air SNL at Home Tonight; Friends Reunion Delayed

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a Saturday Night Live "at home" episode that will air tonight, a delay of the Friends reunion, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
  • With all of these series being produced at home, we never expected Saturday Night Live to try it, but they will tonight. (Vulture)
  • A Friends reunion was supposed to be a major feature of the HBO Max launch, but now that it can't be produced right now, it looks like it'll come a little later. (Variety)
  • TV production is shutdown because of coronavirus, of course, but there is also a writer's strike looming and it could be damaging to the linear TV industry.  (Deadline)
  • The Grey's Anatomy season finale didn't get to have the kind of bang it would normally have. (Deadline)
  • MeTV is featuring a month of Mayberry next month. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (APRIL 11 - APRIL 17)

  • Matt Houston is the binge on Decades this weekend.
  • For kids who are missing school, Head of the Class and Welcome Back, Kotter are on Antenna TV all day this weekend.
  • Decades is featuring The Love Boat this weekend as their binge.
  • HBO is streaming several series for free right now without a subscription while people are at home, all you have to do is go to HBO Now or HBO Go.
  • There is a new Maggie Simpson animated short on Disney+.
  • As previously mentioned, Saturday Night Live returns tonight for a new episode, though we aren't sure how that is going to work just yet.
