SitcomsOnline Digest: Bob Hearts Abishola Coming to an End; Only Murders in the Building Gets Limited Run on ABC

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's another slow news week, and we expect that to be the case for a few more weeks, but we have news of the cancellation of a CBS sitcom, a trailer for Ted, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

It should have been very obvious that it was coming when it was announced that most of the cast was being reduced to just a few episodes, but Bob ♥ Abishola is ending after this season on CBS. (Deadline)
Only Murders in the Building is getting a limited run on the ABC primetime lineup. (Hollywood Reporter)
Peacock has dropped a trailer for the upcoming Ted series. (Deadline)
Although it's getting more confusing what seasons and parts means (what happened to the old days when TV shows just had season numbers?) Netflix has renewed The Upshaws for season 4/part 6. (Deadline)
Felicity Huffman is breaking her silence about the college admissions scandal. (CBS News)
Antenna TV has their January lineup set, and for the first time in a very long time, they'll actually be adding something they've never shown before (though Rewind TV has been airing it): The Drew Carey Show. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (DECEMBER 2 - DECEMBER 9)

Catchy Comedy is having a weekend long binge of Petticoat Junction this weekend.
Although we aren't quite sure where My Three Sons is (it was supposed to arrive yesterday with this), 7th Heaven is now available on Amazon Prime Video.
