SitcomsOnline Digest: CBS Series to Begin Production; Fox Eyeing X-Files as Animated Comedy

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's hard to believe, but we're already getting to the point where fall is knocking on the door, but don't expect a normal fall TV season this year. However, it does look like some shows will be ready to go into production for perhaps a late fall start! Let's get going!


HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
  • Several CBS series have been given the green light to begin production, but not exactly in time for the traditional fall season. (Deadline) 
  • Meanwhile, The Conners actually is back in production, and we've gotten our first cast photo for the series, with the cast wearing masks with the afghan pattern from the couch. (TVLine)
  • Fox is considering a version of The X-Files as an animated comedy, because it's Fox and why not? (Hollywood Reporter)
  • Joe Ruby, co-creator of Scooby Doo, has died at age 87. (Variety)
  • Young Sheldon is coming to Nick at Nite in November. (SitcomsOnline)
  • A new MeTV lineup (with minimal changes) is coming September 7. (SitcomsOnline)


WEEKLY PLANNER (AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 4)

  • A.P. Bio returns for a third season online on Peacock, on Thursday.
  • NBC has the Canadian series Transplant coming to their lineup on Tuesday.
  • Decades is doing a binge that goes a little west this weekend with Cheyenne.
