SitcomsOnline Digest: Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 11 Premiere Date Set; Lori Loughlin Returns to TV Role

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! We're back to the slower news weeks of fall, where everything already has or is about to premiere, so we're just sitting and waiting to see how they do in the ratings, but we have some news for you, plus plenty to watch in the next week. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • Don't worry, The Bachelor has a new host. (Deadline)
