SitcomsOnline Digest: Rachael Ray to End After 17 Seasons; Fox Renews Krapopolis for Third Season

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's not a very busy news week, but we have (even more) news about the changing landscape of daytime television, a third season renewal for a series that hasn't even started, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • Continuing on on-going theme of how daytime TV is completely changing, Rachael Ray is also coming to an end at the end of this season after 17 seasons (it's hard to believe it has been that long), but it is also significant because her show was the last surviving spinoff of The Oprah Winfrey Show on daytime TV. (Variety)
  • In perhaps the most bizarre renewal ever, Fox is giving a third season to Krapopolis, a series that has yet to see a single episode air, because they feel it might be the next Simpsons or Family Guy based upon "gut instict." (Deadline)
  • The Thundermans is returning to Nickelodeon. (Deadline)
  • Bebe Neuwirth will reprise her role of Lillith on the Frasier reboot. (Deadline)
  • Some programs will be excluded due to rights restrictions, but Reelz (the linear channel, not just on demand offerings) is being added to Peacock. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • A new Chuck Lorre show is headed to HBO Max, unless it gets canceled before it even airs as many HBO Max series do. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (MARCH 4 - MARCH 10)

  • Decades has a Peter Gunn binge this weekend.
  • There is a new season of The Voice on NBC on Monday.
  • The second season of Perry Mason arrives Monday on HBO.
