HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • CBS is putting Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen in their post-Colbert timeslot next season... again. (Hollywood Reporter)

  • Former Simpsons music composer Alf Clausen, whom we actually interviewed nearly 20 years ago, has died. (Variety)
  • Loretta Swit, known for her role on M*A*S*H (and who played Cagney in the pilot for Cagney & Lacey, but wasn't able to play the role because she couldn't get out of her M*A*S*H contract) has died. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • We have our first look at Leanne, a Chuck Lorre sitcom coming to Netflix. (SitcomsOnline)
