SitcomsOnline Digest: Krapopolis Renewed for Fourth Season; Mindy Cohn Explains Why Facts of Life Revival Won't Happen

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about the renewal of a Fox animated comedy, why a Facts of Life revival isn't happening, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • It seems like it took an eternity for it to ever make it on the air, but at least it wasn't one of those shows that was talked about for years and only lasted a few weeks, as Krapopolis has been renewed for a fourth season. (Deadline)
  • A Facts of Life revival isn't happening, because Mindy Cohn says one of the stars that she wouldn't specifically call out (which many have narrowed down to Lisa Whelchel) is being a greedy person (though she didn't say person, and used another word that we'll avoid using here). (Entertainment Weekly)
  • We mentioned a few weeks ago that it was coming to some undisclosed streamer, but Homicide: Life on the Street is in fact coming to Peacock next month. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • Max's revival of Clone High has been cancelled. (Variety)
  • FETV has acquired the rights to Dragnet. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (JULY 27 - AUGUST 2)

  • Catchy Comedy has a binge of The Carol Burnett Show this weekend.
  • It's Bugs Bunny's 84th birthday, and MeTV Toons is celebrating with a marathon today.
  • The new season of Futurama debuts Monday on Hulu.
  • There is now a 24/7 Nash Bridges channel on Pluto TV.
