SitcomsOnline Digest: NBC Affiliates Refuse to Air 30 Rock: A One Time Special; Golden Girls House For Sale
- Did you miss 30 Rock: A One Time Special? Probably, at least if you tried to watch it on NBC, as most affiliates boycotted it and refused to show it since it was a promotional piece for Peacock (but you can watch it for free on Peacock!). (CinemaBlend)
- If you're looking for a cool new home in the Los Angeles area, you can buy the house that the Golden Girls lived in (or at least the house that has the exterior that was used for the show). (CNET)
- There will be one less talk show debuting this fall, as Nick Cannon's talk show has been "delayed" for the time being. (Vulture)
- Jeopardy! is airing four weeks of specially themed weeks. (Deadline)
- Chuck Woolery, best known for hosting Wheel of Fortune, Love Connection, Scrabble, and gold commercials, found himself in the news this week after calling COVID-19 a hoax and deleting his Twitter account in the aftermath. (CNN)
- Dancing with the Stars has a reputation of being known as the reality show that old people watch, so ABC is looking to change things up with Tyra Banks in the hosting spot. (SitcomsOnline)
WEEKLY PLANNER (JULY 18 - JULY 24)

- There's lots to watch on Peacock now that it's available to everybody, and here is a list.
- Decades has a binge of Early Edition this weekend.
- As previously mentioned, Jeopardy! is airing some special episodes from the past over the next four weeks, beginning with episodes from the 80s this coming week.
