SitcomsOnline Digest: Daytime TV Changes Again with Cancellation of Two Long-Running Judge Shows; Arrested Development Leaving Netflix

  Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we have more on the rapidly changing landscape of daytime TV (including the cancellation of the last two remaining major judge shows from the 90s), news of a new cohost for Kelly Ripa, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • A Starsky & Hutch remake at Fox? It is under development at the moment. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • We have been talking about how daytime TV, which hasn't really had a whole lot of changes in decades, has been changing a lot lately, and now can officially say that the final vestiges of 90s daytime TV glory are gone, as Warner has canceled both Judge Mathis and The People's Court. (Variety)
  • Meanwhile, even though the show has come a long way from where it started as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, Live with Kelly and Ryan is going through some changes too, as Ryan Seacrest is out and Ripa's husband, Mark Conseulos, will be replacing him. (Variety)
  • Since Warner Bros. Discovery is too cheap to make anything new, they're going to try edited reruns of Silicon Valley and True Blood on TBS and TNT, starting today. (Deadline)
  • Although the seasons fans truly liked will remain on Hulu, Arrested Development is leaving Netflix in March, and it is unclear what will happen with the seasons that were produced by and exclusive to Netflix. (Deadline)
  • Amber Ruffin is headed to the NBC primetime lineup. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (FEBRUARY 18 - FEBRUARY 24)

  • Decades is having a "Field Day" this weekend with marathons of Sally Field series from the Screen Gems era, including Gidget, The Flying Nun, and The Girl with Something Extra.
  • Magnum P.I. is back with a new network (NBC) tomorrow night.
  • A new season of Bel-Air arrives Thursday on Peacock.
  • Starz brings back Party Down on Friday.
