SitcomsOnline Digest: Vicki Lawrence to Guest Star in Call Me Kat; Grey's Anatomy Gets a Little Less Grey

  Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about how a Fox series will pay tribute to a cast member who recently died, the evolution of a long-running ABC drama, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • Vicki Lawrence has been cast to play the role of the mother of Leslie Jordan's character on Call Me Kat, as the series gives him a final farewell. (Deadline)
  • When a show stays on the air for almost two full decades, it is inevitable that the premise of the series may evolve, and now Grey's Anatomy is losing the character the series is named after. (Deadline)
  • The CBS Entertainment President, Amy Reisenbach, is declaring that broadcast TV is not dead. (Variety)
  • Krapopolis, the new Fox animated comedy that already got a season two renewal, will not be airing a special preview of the first season on November 27 as planned. (TVLine)
  • Candace Cameron Bure has stepped into a bit of controversy regarding her move from Hallmark to Great American Family, as she told a Wall Street Journal reporter in an interview that she felt her new network would keep "traditional marriage" at the core. (TVInsider)
  • It's almost Christmas, so of course we have some Christmas programming on the way from MeTV. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (NOVEMBER 19 - NOVEMBER 25)

  • MeTV is celebrating Thanksgiving with special Thanksgiving episodes on Sunday, but lets face it, the only one most of us remember is the one from WKRP in Cincinnati (which is included!)
  • There is a binge of Highway Patrol on Decades this weekend.
  • Wednesday, the Addams Family inspired series Wednesday, debuts on... Wednesday... on Netflix.
  • Antenna TV is taking a slightly different approach for a Thanksgiving marathon this weekend, with one featuring every episode of Soap.
