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)
