SitcomsOnline Digest: NBC Mulls Airing The Paper on Primetime Lineup; Fox Revives Baywatch Reboot Talk
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's a bit of a busy week, so let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- It isn't clear if it is a sign that it's actually really good, or if it is a sign that NBC is very desperate, but apparently NBC is considering giving The Paper (the follow-up series to The Office) a broadcast run after it premieres on Peacock. (Deadline)
- After being previously abandoned, it looks like the Baywatch reboot may be back in contention at Fox. (Deadline)
- If you're wondering why Erik Per Sullivan isn't returning for the Malcolm in the Middle reboot, it's because he is at Harvard. (Entertainment Weekly)
- Do you think that the "cable TV is dying" reporters were exaggerated? The percentage of Americans who subscribe to liner pay TV (including services like Sling and YouTube TV) has hit levels not seen since 1987. (Deadline)
- Like many media mergers, Warner Bros. Discovery wasn't meant to be, and now the merger is getting a divorce. (Variety)
- On a related note, remember back in the 90s when cable companies advertised all of the different HBO and Cinemax channels you could get in one package? Well, now Warner Bros. Discovery is quietly shutting down some of those channels. (Variety)
