SitcomsOnline Digest: Showtime Looking to Bring Back Two Old Favorites; Disney+ Removing Content

 Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! We're almost officially to the end of the 22-23 season (although summer is not quite the "all rerun" season it used to be), and with a writer's strike still ongoing, it's not clear when we'll see the next one... but nonetheless, we're hearing what the networks are planning for next season, with major changes coming from The CW, and some cancellations of series elsewhere. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• It feels like 2010 all over again, now that Showtime is looking to bring back both Weeds and Nurse Jackie for new episodes. (Vulture)
• With the ongoing writer's strike, there is also a looming threat to writers: artificial intelligence writing new material. (Collider)
• Nothing in permanent on streaming media, and Disney+ is proving that by removing several series and movies. (Deadline)
• Tooning Out the News and Hell of a Week with Charlamagne the God are both done at Comedy Central. (Deadline)
• It seems that animated shows last forever, but not Archer, as it will end after season 14. (TVLine)
• We told you last week that Son of a Critch was coming to The CW. Now we have the full lineup for The CW, and while we don't know what the W stands for in CW, it seems C must stand for "Canadian." (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (MAY 20 - MAY 26)

• Cheers is the Catchy Comedy binge this weekend.
• The Fox animated comedies, aside from Family Guy (which already ended the season two weeks ago), have season finales tomorrow night.
• The CBS Monday night comedies also have their season finale next week.
