SitcomsOnline Digest: NBC Looking to Reduce Primetime Hours; Community Movie in the Works?

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week is a slow news week, but we are learning about a major broadcast network looking at abandoning the 10 PM hour, the cancellation of a MTV series, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• As streaming media continues to overshadow broadcast networks, NBC is looking at potentially giving up on 10 PM and returning the hour back to affiliates as early as fall 2023, and they may not be the only one. (Variety)
• Whatever Floribama Shore is (we're being slightly sarcastic), MTV is done with it, presumably because the MTV lineup doesn't have enough time slots to air Ridiculousness. (Deadline)
• The studio audience is returning to America's Funniest Home Videos this fall. (Deadline)
• Could we finally be getting to the conclusion of the "six seasons and a movie" for Community? (IGN)
• ABC is preparing for their celebration of Norman Lear's 100th birthday (which has actually already happened, but the special hasn't aired yet). (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (AUGUST 27 - SEPTEMBER 2)

• Decades is doing a duo of binges this weekend, with Bridget Loves Bernie first then a marathon of the Barney Miller spinoff Fish.
• It's not exactly something we're all that interested in around here, but it does have a long history: the MTV Video Music Awards airs on Sunday.
