HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- It looks like Frasier is getting a reboot, at Paramount+. (Deadline)
- The CW has a new owner, and it looks like it may be going a whole new direction, as the new owner wants cheaper programming that will attract a slightly older audience. (Hollywood Reporter)
- An "all stars" version of America's Got Talent is coming to NBC. (Deadline)
- It had better be good, because Fox has already renewed the animated series Krapopolis (which has yet to debut). (Hollywood Reporter)
- The United States Senate race in Pennsylvania has evolved into one candidate being portrayed as a character from The Simpsons, though Disney did not authorize the use of the character. (Deadline)
- HBO Max has ordered a new sitcom from Chuck Lorre, that is, if it doesn't get cancelled before it airs like most things do on HBO Max lately. (SitcomsOnline)
WEEKLY PLANNER (OCTOBER 8 - OCTOBER 14)
- The fall premieres aren't done, as we still have a few coming from The CW next week, as well as the CBS Sunday night drama lineup.
- Get ready to "flip out" on Decades, with a binge of The Flip Wilson Show this weekend.
