SitcomsOnline Digest: Kelsey Grammer Ready to Do 100 Episodes of Frasier; TBS Cancels Miracle Workers
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! With this being a holiday week, the news is pretty slow, but we have a few tidbits, including the cancellation of a TBS series, some anecdotes about past seasons of Saturday Night Live, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- Kelsey Grammer is ready to do 100 episodes of the Frasier reboot, but given the longevity of reboots and the much shorter seasons of streaming series, is that even possible? (Variety)
- TBS has cancelled Miracle Workers, which is right in line with the current Warner Bros Discovery concept of "cancel anything possible." (Variety)
- Seth Meyers is talking about a movie based upon the Saturday Night Live character Stefon that was never made. (Entertainment Weekly)
- Adam Sandler says Roseanne Barr was originally supposed to perform "The Chanukah Song" on Saturday Night Live. (Deadline)
- Fox has announced their winter lineup, and one of the biggest changes is one that is giving Family Guy fans deja vu of when the show debuted (way back in the 90s, believe it or not!) and was cancelled: the series is being moved off of the Sunday night lineup for the first time in over a decade and a half.
