SitcomsOnline Digest: Remembering Betty White; Lost in Space a Hit for Netflix

Happy New Year and welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! Unfortunately, we are starting off the new year with remembering a true TV legend, as Betty White died yesterday (just a few weeks short of her 100th birthday), but we're here with the little bit of news that we do have. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• Ratings news for streaming services is a bit rare (though becoming more common now that it's actually being measured), but for anybody wondering, Netflix's Lost in Space seems to be doing well in the streaming world. (Deadline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (JANUARY 1 - JANUARY 7)
