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)
