SitcomsOnline Digest: Brooklyn Nine-Nine Comes to an End; FXX Goes Full Blown Animation Domination with New Acquisitions
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! Next week is the week we've all been waiting for, the (mostly) beginning of the fall season! But not just that, we've got news of a new home for Fox animated series (a home that has slowly been working toward becoming that), Jeopardy! news, and more. Let's get going!
