We've been saying almost weekly that the current season is shaping up to be monumental in terms of the number of long-running daytime TV shows that are being canceled, and the latest one (the 7th among those that have been on five or more years by our count) to go is The Real. (Variety)
Discovery is now the official parent of Warner Bros., ending the AT&T ownership era. (CNN)

Netflix has ordered a new scripted comedy Unstable, with Rob Lowe and his son, but if his history of leaving series as soon as he gets bored with them continues, we imagine Rob Lowe won't want to stay on there long. (SitcomsOnline)

The new Craig Robinson comedy Killing It arrives on Peacock on Thursday.
Decades has a binge of Hawaiian Eye this weekend.
It's not exactly news (since it is what they do every weekend, though changing out series occasionally), but GAC Family has Full House all day today and Who's the Boss? all day tomorrow.
