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.
