SitcomsOnline Digest: Frasier Reboot Canceled at Paramount+; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coming to MeTV Toons
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! After a few slow news weeks, we have more than we can even fit in here this week, including the cancelation of a reboot, a spinoff of a popular CBS show, and more. Let's get going!
