SitcomsOnline Digest: Another Addams Family Reboot in the Works?; Quibi Says Goodbye After Six Months

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a potential Addams Family reboot (why not?), a political fundraiser featuring the Happy Days cast, and more. Let's get going!


HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
  • A reboot of The Addams Family doesn't exactly sound unreasonable to us, although hopefully it'll be better than what Fox Family had in the late 90s. (Deadline)
  • COVID-19 has brought a lot of uncertainty to the TV season, but at least black-ish will have a full season. (Variety)
  • Let's Make a Deal is prepping to return to the air, with a mix of virtual and in-person contestants. (Deadline)
  • A theme in political fundraisers this year (particularly the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, for some reason) seems to be cast reunions of classic TV shows, and now a virtual one is coming up for Happy Days, although Scott Baio has expressed his dissatisfaction with this and will obviously not be participating. (The Hill)
  • It was hyped forever and had billions of dollars in financing, but nothing could save the short form series streaming service Quibi, which is now dead after six whole months. (Techcrunch)
  • MeTV is getting deeper into classic cartoons, as they have now acquired Looney Tunes. (SitcomsOnline)


WEEKLY PLANNER (OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30)

 

  • Decades has a somewhat unusual binge this weekend, with Hammer House of Horror and One Step Beyond.
  • Antenna TV has a full weekend of The Jack Benny Program this weekend to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the series.
  • Antenna TV begins to celebrate Halloween on Friday with a binge of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
  • A new season of This is Us debuts Tuesday on NBC.
  • ABC brings back American Housewife for a new season on Wednesday.
  • Superstore returns to NBC on Thursday.
