SitcomsOnline Digest: Tim Allen Headlining ABC Comedy Pilot; NBC Developing Bewitched Inspired Sitcom

 Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's a pretty busy week this week with news of a new Tim Allen sitcom, a NBC series under development that is inspired by a classic series (but not a reboot), a reformatting of a major cable network, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• It looks like Tim Allen is headed to ABC for his third sitcom, with Allen playing a widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop who has his estranged daughter and her teenage children move in. (Deadline)
• This isn't the Bewitched reboot that we were talking about a few weeks ago nor is it officially even connected to the series, but NBC is developing a separate series, a multi-camera comedy that has similar themes as Bewitched and will pay homage to classic sitcoms, and now they've cast the starring role. (Deadline)
• It looks like TruTV, which was originally CourtTV, is evolving again as Warner Bros. Discovery is seeking to turn it into a sports network; meanwhile, the network's one popular series, Impractical Jokers, is moving to TBS. (Cord Cutters News)
• You can now stream every episode of Grey's Anatomy on Hulu. (Variety)
