SitcomsOnline Digest: Night Court a Success for NBC; South Park Season 26 Premiere Date Set

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a ratings success for NBC, a premiere date for an adult animated favorite, and a new syndicated talk show for a previous network late night talk show host. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • It remains to be seen if it will hold, but the debut of Night Court on NBC was a solid performer in ratings. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • Peacock has not yet found a big signature hit, as two more series are being cancelled. (Deadline)
  • However, one (sort of) bright spot for Peacock is Bel-Air, and Tatyana Ali (from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) will have a recurring role in season 2. (Deadline)
  • South Park has a premiere date for season 26, and it'll be here in less than three weeks. (IGN)
  • Boy meets Congress? That's what Ben Savage has in mind, as he is considering running for a US House seat in California. (ABC News)
  • Craig Ferguson is looking to return to late night talk, with a new syndicated series. (Deadline)
  • Magnum P.I. arrives on getTV next month, and we have more details now. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (JANUARY 21 - JANUARY 27)

  • Decades has a binge of a forgotten 80s series this week, Crazy Like a Fox (and all 35 episodes will air).
  • American Auto returns Tuesday on NBC.
  • Hulu has a new season of How I Met Your Father on Tuesday as well.
  • Saturday Night Live returns tonight after a month off, with Aubrey Plaza as host.
