HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- The Righteous Gemstones finally has a season 2 premiere date. (Deadline)
- This one is one that we found a bit surprising: the entire series of The Andy Griffith Show is being released on Blu-ray (as a manufacture on demand title) next month. (Blu-ray.com)
- That isn't all of the home media news, as The Trials of Rosie O'Neill - The Complete Series, an early 90s legal drama starring Sharon Gless, is coming to DVD from VEI. (VEI)
- The Wonder Years parents Alley Mills and Dan Lauria have reunited again for different roles, but only on Broadway. (Deadline)
- Even though a lot of cable operators have already dropped it anyway, ESPN Classic is officially going away for good. (CNN)
- We love a good listing of holiday programming, and Deadline has that. (Deadline)
- Although the network it airs on has undergone two name changes since it began, the network now known as Freeform is ready for the 25th anniversary of 25 Days of Christmas. (SitcomsOnline)
