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)
