  • A season two premiere date for Lopez vs Lopez has been set. (TVLine)
  • A big screen adaptation of The Office? That's Bryan Cranston's idea. (Deadline)
  • There are no plans for a fourth season of Dave on FXX, though to be fair, if analysts are to believed, there is a question of how much longer FXX will even exist. (Variety)
  • CBS is not participating in "pilot season" for the upcoming season in favor of long-term strategies and using programming that was intended to debut midseason for the fall lineup. (Deadline)
  • Antenna TV is celebrating Valentine's Day with a marathon of I Dream of Jeannie. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (JANUARY 27 - FEBRUARY 2)

  • Catchy Comedy is doing a binge of That's My Mama and The Royal Family this weekend.
