SitcomsOnline Digest: IMDb TV Orders Comedy from Creator of The Good Place; ABC Gives Full Season Orders to The Wonder Years and Home Economics
Happy Halloween and welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! The news this week is even slower (there is a lot to watch though!), but this week we're hearing about a new comedy for IMDb TV from the creator of The Good Place, two full season pickups at ABC, a new animated comedy for Fox (but it won't debut for another two years), and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

WEEKLY PLANNER (OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5)
- As usual, Cozi TV will celebrate Halloween with a marathon of The Munsters, but as a twist they'll also have the feature film Munster Go Home included in that lineup this year.
- Of course, if you like the show that The Munsters is always compared to, you can always catch The Addams Family 24/7 on the dedicated channel on Pluto TV.
- Antenna TV used to feature marathons of Bewitched and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch for Halloween, but this year, they'll only have Bewitched on Sunday while new sister channel Rewind TV will feature Sabrina, the Teenage Witch all weekend long.
- The HBO Max Head of the Class reboot debuts on Thursday.
- If you're looking for a new animated adult comedy series to watch, there is Fairfax on Amazon Prime Video.
- Judge Judy is back, with Judy Justice, which will debut Monday on IMDb TV.
