Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about the upcoming premiere of the MacGruber series, a tribute to Dustin Diamond on the reboot of Saved by the Bell, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • Saved by the Bell paid tribute to Dustin Diamond in this past week's season premiere. (TV Line)
  • ESPN lost another 10% of their pay TV customers in the past year, which is yet another sign that the future of cable TV is looking bleak. (Deadline)
  • Anthony Anderson would officially like some more Law & Order, enough so that he is returning to the series in the reboot. (TV Insider)
  • Steve Burton, who has been a cast member on General Hospital for 3 decades, is leaving the series over his refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19. (CNN)
  • A preview of the reboot of Bel-Air, the dramatic reboot of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is now available. (TV Series Finale)

WEEKLY PLANNER (NOVEMBER 27 - DECEMBER 3)

  • Decades has a S.W.A.T. binge this weekend.
  • Coach continues all weekend long on Antenna TV.
  • You can catch some holiday Christmas classics in a curated section on Paramount+, and sister streaming service Pluto TV has several Christmas themed channels at the moment.
  • FXX is mostly animated comedy these days, but never fear, another season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a decisively not animated series, is coming Friday.
