SitcomsOnline Digest: NBC Affiliates Refuse to Air 30 Rock: A One Time Special; Golden Girls House For Sale

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's a slow news week, but we're here with news about the 30 Rock reunion that probably didn't air on NBC in your city, news of the Golden Girls house being for sale, and more. Let's get going!
