SitcomsOnline Digest: grown-ish Makes Cast Changes Ahead of Fifth Season; Shout! Acquires Candid Camera

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're learning of some cancellations, a (possible) renewal, and some recasting news for grown-ish that comes with kids, well, growing. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • The thing that is difficult about a show about students at a college or high school is that you can't really keep the series going more than about four seasons without "graduating" some cast members or at least coming up with some viable explanation as to why they haven't graduated, and grown-ish is going to be going through that just before season five. (TV Insider)
  • Amazingly (for a series that doesn't get a whole lot of attention or water cooler talk), it looks like The Goldbergs may be headed for a 10th season. (Deadline)
  • Smile, Shout! Factory has acquired the rights to Candid Camera for digital streaming. (Deadline)
  • It doesn't appear that they have much (if anything) that can't be seen elsewhere, but YouTube has added 4000 free (with ads) episodes of various TV series, in an effort to compete with the other streaming giants. (Variety)
  • Although reruns will continue for at least another season (and probably far beyond that if Jerry Springer is any indication), Maury, TV's longest running paternity test, is finally ending production. (Deadline)
  • Beyond Maury, this season is turning out to be a pretty big one with lots of long-running series ending, and Deadline has a look at those in case you've lost track. (Deadline)
  • We have a date for the last episodes of Netflix's Grace and Frankie. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (MARCH 26 - APRIL 1)

  • How We Roll, a new bowling themed comedy, debuts Thursday on CBS.
  • Decades has a binge of Mannix this weekend.
  • Antenna TV has a special April Fools Day marathon on Friday.
