SitcomsOnline Digest: Creative Team Put in Place for Big Bang Theory Spinoff; Girls5eva Canceled at Netflix
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's a slow pre-Christmas week, but we've got news about The Big Bang Theory (times two!), the cancelation of a Netflix series, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- We are one step closer to a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory on Max. (Deadline)
- Girls5eva has been canceled (again). (Deadline)
- It seems like a mostly inconsequential story for our sitcom fans, but Hallmark+ is changing their strategy for streaming movies that launch on Hallmark Channel to a "next day" strategy as opposed to "some point in the future," another sign that cable TV may be dying. (Cord Cutters News)
- Cable news ratings, particularly at CNN, have been awful post-election, and given that the way younger audiences consume news is changing and relies a whole lot less upon cable TV, there are serious questions about the future of cable news. (Cord Cutters News)
- Deborah Norville has been selected to host a new game show. (Deadline)
- Nick at Nite and MTV (which we're amazed has found any space on their lineup bin the middle of their five year long marathon of Ridiculousness) are both adding The Big Bang Theory to their lineup, starting next week. (SitcomsOnline)
WEEKLY PLANNER (DECEMBER 21 - DECEMBER 27)
- It's a "Christmas Carol" binge of Carol Burnett and Friends on Catchy Comedy this weekend.
- As previously mentioned, The Big Bang Theory is headed to Nick at Nite, starting Tuesday.
- There will be plenty of Christmas marathons (too many to mention here!) next week, but for fans of classic sitcoms, the most comprehensive one will be Antenna TV's Classic Christmas Collection, which will air on Tuesday, and their Christmas Through the Years marathon on Wednesday.
