SitcomsOnline Digest: Emmy Awards Postponed to January; Norman Lear Celebrates 101st Birthday

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're seeing even more effects of the strikes going on, hearing of the death of a sitcom star, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

We could see this coming a month ago, but now, the Emmy Awards has officially been delayed until January (at least). (NPR)
Norman Lear celebrated his 101st birthday this week. (Hollywood Reporter)
Production of Days of Our Lives has been shutdown temporarily, but it has nothing to do with any strikes. (Deadline)
The writers strike has, however, affected the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions. (Yahoo!)
Inga Swenson, known for her role of Gretchen on Benson, has died at age 90. (Variety)
This is a little bit of a shocker here, the USA Network series Suits has broken a Nielsen streaming record for acquired programming, even outdoing series like The Office and Manifest when they were at their heights on streaming. (Deadline)
NBCUniversal has announced some new FAST channels, though we're not quite sure how Major Dad fits into TNBC. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (JULY 29 - AUGUST 4)

Decades has a binge of The Flip Wilson Show weekend.
The CW has some more international programming set to debut on Monday, including Run the Burbs and Bump.
Big Brother returns for a new season on Wednesday, slightly later than usual (to fill some holes in the fall lineup presumably).
