SitcomsOnline Digest: Actors Join the Writers on Strike; Fox Sets Premiere Date for Krapopolis
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! News is slow at this time of the year, but we have updates on SAG-AFTRA joining the writers in being on strike, Fox finally setting a premiere date for Krapopolis, and more. Let's get going!

- Rainn Wilson has revealed that he wasn't particularly happy when he was on The Office, because he was just waiting for that big movie deal that he never got (unlike some of his co-stars). (CNN)
- A premiere date has finally been set for Krapopolis, which we assume that they had to finally put it on because episodes of the show are ready when a lot of scripted stuff for the fall is not. (Deadline)
