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.
