Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're learning more about the Frasier reboot, we're hearing what CBS is saying will NOT be happening to their 10 PM hour, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- A Frasier reboot is coming, but it will be without John Mahoney, since he died in 2018. (Deadline)
- It's looking like NBC will be abandoning the 10 PM hour and Hearst, which owns several broadcast affiliates for all of the major networks, would like to think that other networks will follow, but CBS has already given that a hard "no." (AV Club)
- We knew Trevor Noah was leaving The Daily Show, and now we have an exact date of when that will happen. (Hollywood Reporter)
- Cable and broadcast combined are still dominating TV viewership, but online streaming is becoming a bigger and bigger thing all the time. (Deadline)
- Fox seems to have a lot of confidence in their animated comedies lately, as they've now renewed another animated comedy that has yet to air a single episode for a second season. (SitcomsOnline)
WEEKLY PLANNER (OCTOBER 22 - OCTOBER 28)
- Decades has a binge of The Time Tunnel this weekend.
- A new season of Big Mouth debuts on Thursday on Netflix
