SitcomsOnline Digest: CBS Planning New Late Night Strategy; Fawlty Towers Reboot in the Works
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! Once again, we have a lot going on, with the cancellation of a late night talk show, a new comedy starring Ted Danson, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- Rather than find a replacement for James Corden, it seems CBS has decided to completely cancel The Late Late Show, and will replace it with a reboot of @midnight. (Hollywood Reporter)
- It looks like Mike Schur is trying another comedy with Ted Danson. (Deadline)
- Uncoupled is headed for a second season at Showtime (or is it Paramount+ with Showtime?), as Showtime is starting to head a different direction. (Deadline)
- You may be watching The Conners, but Roseanne is definitely not. (TVLine)
- For fans of British comedies, Fawlty Towers is apparently getting a reboot... somewhere (but not BBC). (Variety)
- Much like many of the actual reboots of series that we see on TV, the series Reboot did not survive to see a second season, even with attempts to find it a new home. (AV Club)
- Disney is at least considering selling Hulu. (Variety)
- Actor Charles Kimbrough has died, and much like when his wife (Beth Howland) died. (SitcomsOnline)
WEEKLY PLANNER (FEBRUARY 11 - FEBRUARY 17)
- Decades has something a little different for this weekend's binge, with Blondie movies, but all 26 episodes of the 1957 NBC sitcom starting Sunday at noon.
- Animal Control debuts Thursday on Fox.
- The Super Bowl may be on Sunday, but Antenna TV has an alternate option with a marathon of Designing Women.
