SitcomsOnline Digest: Patricia Richardson on Potential Home Improvement Reboot; Paramount+ Removes Several Nickelodeon Series
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a reboot that isn't happening, a new game show starring Urkel, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- Patricia Richardson recently appeared in a podcast in which she completely dismissed the idea of a Home Improvement reboot or reunion, and flat out called Tim Allen a liar for even suggesting that he'd talked to everybody, and also referred to her TV son Zachery Ty Bryan as a "felon." (Entertainment Weekly)
- Get ready for a new game show this fall with Jaleel White as host. (Deadline)
- We always mention that streaming is never permanent, and Paramount+ is proving that by removing several Nickelodeon series that were rebooted for the service, including the reboot of Rugrats. (Deadline)
- Actor Louis Gossett Jr., who appeared on many series (especially in the 1970s), has died. (AP News)
- Proving that "trash talk" TV isn't totally dead yet (though it is nothing like it was in the 90s particularly), The Steve Wilkos Show has been renewed for an 18th season. (Deadline)
- NBC News has gotten itself into a $600,000 mess after making a controversial hire that resulted in an on-air revolt (and eventual firing of the new contributor) by just about every personality at MSNBC. (Politico)
- After the release of Three's Company (and all of the spinoffs), it is probably no surprise that VEI is now releasing the complete series of Too Close for Comfort and even Check it Out on DVD, and they're both coming next week. (SitcomsOnline)
WEEKLY PLANNER (MARCH 30 - APRIL 5)
- Catchy Comedy has a Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts binge this weekend.
- NBC has the second season of Lopez vs. Lopez on Tuesday night.
- Community debuts on Peacock on Monday.

Netflix's Good Times Animated Comedy Trailer; Too Close for Comfort and Check It Out! Complete Series on DVD
Good Times is back...now as an animated series! In this irreverent reimagining of the TV classic, a new generation of the Evans family keeps their heads above water in a Chicago housing project. An unfiltered adult comedy with the voices of Yvette Nicole Brown, J.B. Smoove, Wanda Sykes, Jay Pharoah, Marsai Martin and more. Add Good Times to your MyList here. From Showrunner Ranada Shepard and Executive Producers Stephen Curry, Norman Lear and Seth MacFarlane, the animated comedy drops on Netflix on Friday, April 12. No word yet on how many episodes will drop.
'80s sitcom Too Close for Comfort will be out with a Complete Series DVD set on April 3 with all 6 seasons consisting of 129 episodes from VEI (Visual Entertainment Inc.) for just $39.99. Just like fellow DLT Entertainment sitcom Three's Company earlier this year. Cartoonist Henry Rush (Ted Knight) and his loving wife, Muriel (Nancy Dussault), have just hit upon a surefire plan to keep their maturing family intact. Daughters Jackie (Deborah Van Valkenburgh) and Sara (Lydia Cornell) may be all grown up, but that doesn't mean these proud parents are ready to sit back and watch them venture out into the big, bad world on their own. Not by a long shot! So when an apartment unexpectedly opens up in their San Francisco row house, logic dictates that they lease it to those that they want to hold dear-and, most importantly-near! But with a sexy blonde bombshell for one daughter and a smart and sassy brunette for the other, the Rushes might be getting far more than they bargained for. Never mind the wacky, ever-present social misfit that they soon have to contend with Monroe Ficus (Jim J. Bullock). Why, it's enough to drive any parent crazy! And though it may have once innocently seemed like a sound solution, this upstairs-downstairs living arrangement may quickly prove that for all involved it's far too easy to be, well, perhaps just a little...Too Close for Comfort!
Purchase Too Close for Comfort - The Complete Series on DVD on Amazon.com or VEI.
In addition, another fellow '80s sitcom Check It Out! from DLT Entertainment will be out with a complete series DVD set from VEI with all 3 seasons (66 episodes) on April 8. Check It Out! takes viewers on a riotous romp through Cobbs, a supermarket where Howard Bannister, played by the iconic Don Adams, battles to maintain order amidst the chaos. Alongside him is Edna Moseley (Dinah Christie), his trusty sidekick and love interest, as they face the daily challenges brought on by a cast of quirky characters. From the endearing yet clueless stockboy to the consistently grumpy cashier, each member of the Cobbs team adds to the mayhem with their antics. Filmed in front of a live studio audience, the show delivers a relentless stream of slapstick comedy, witty one-liners, and an abundance of puns that keep the laughs rolling. Inspired by the British sitcom Tripper's Day from comedy writer Brian Cooke, Check It Out! brings its own unique flair to the supermarket setting. Cooke's expertise, honed from his work on US hits like Three's Company and Too Close For Comfort, lays the foundation for this uproarious comedy.
Purchase Check It Out! - The Complete Series on DVD on Amazon.com or VEI.

Shout! TV Celebrates 25 Years of Farscape; AMC Acquires Snowpiercer
Shout! TV will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the cult-classic television series Farscape (Sci-Fi Channel from 1999-2003) with a marathon airing on Tuesday, March 19 on Shout! TV and the 24/7 Farscape channel beginning at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET. The marathon will feature an exclusive introduction from executive producer Brian Henson and include all-new interview segments with Farscape stars Ben Browder (John Crichton) and Gigi Edgley (Chiana). The marathon will air classic and fan-favorite episodes of the series curated by Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley. Additionally, Shout! TV will be introducing new commercial break interstitials to the Farscape channel in celebration of the anniversary, including trivia, production memories, and more featuring Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley. Farscape follows astronaut John Crichton as a freak accident during an experimental space mission catapults him across a thousand galaxies to an alien battlefield. Suddenly, he’s trapped among alien creatures wielding deadly technology – a battle that 20th century sci-fi pop culture never prepared him for. Hunted by a merciless military race, Crichton begins his quest for home from a galaxy far, far away...
AMC Networks announced that it has acquired the exclusive U.S. linear and streaming rights to all four seasons of the post-apocalyptic drama series Snowpiercer, formerly aired on TNT. The first three seasons of the critically acclaimed drama will stream on AMC+ later this year leading up to the series' season four premiere on AMC and AMC+ in early 2025. Set more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, Snowpiercer centers on the remnants of humanity who inhabit a perpetually moving train, with 1001 cars, that circles the globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out in this riveting television adaptation based on the graphic novel series by Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette, and the film from Oscar(R)-winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite). The action-packed finale of season three left a split of the train with Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) leading the Eternal Engine and those passengers who chose to stay aboard Snowpiercer for relative safety, and Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) leading the others on Big Alice who chose to adventure to the unknown, outside world of New Eden.
Snowpiercer stars Oscar(R) winner Jennifer Connelly, GRAMMY(R) and Tony(R) Award-winner Daveed Diggs, Sean Bean, Rowan Blanchard, Emmy(R) nominee Alison Wright, Mickey Sumner, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Tony(R) Award-winner and GRAMMY(R) nominee Lena Hall, Sam Otto, Chelsea Harris, Mike O'Malley, Roberto Urbina and Sheila Vand.
