SitcomsOnline Digest: Family Guy Specials Coming to Hulu; Jimmy Kimmel Rooting for Emmy for Stephen Colbert
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! We have lots of news about late night TV, animated series, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- It isn't leaving Fox, as many speculated when Hulu aired their first Family Guy specials, but two more are coming in upcoming months. (Variety)
- Jimmy Kimmel would rather see Stephen Colbert get an Emmy than himself, and has started a campaign for such. (Variety)
- Meanwhile, Seth Meyers, whom we can probably assume will never get the chance to host The Tonight Show as one would have assumed when he initially took over a decade ago, is concerned that his show could be canceled at any time. (Deadline)
- In the ongoing saga of "streaming actually isn't forever," HBO Max has removed more Cartoon Network library series. (Deadline)
- The Flintstones turns 65 years old at the end of this month, and MeTV Toons is here to celebrate it. (Cartoon Brew)
- And then there were fewer: Spectrum, the cable company formed by the merger of Charter and Time Warner Cable (which had also been built from many, many smaller cable companies), is moving ahead in merging with Cox. (Deadline)
- The creators of South Park are putting Paramount (and incoming parent company Skydance) in a bit of a conundrum, as the show continues to bite the hand the feeds it (Paramount), it is scoring the highest ratings it has seen since 1999. (Deadline)
- The Jeffersons is about to get a new home on cable. (SitcomsOnline)
- After a 15 year "wait" (which wasn't really a wait, because we never expected it was returning), a new season of King of the Hill arrives Monday on Hulu.
- Catchy Comedy has a binge of Sanford & Son and The Royal Family (featuring all but one episode of The Royal Family) tomorrow.
- Appropriately, a new season of Wednesday comes to Netflix on Wednesday.
- It probably shouldn't even be a big deal when a new episode of a current season show airs, but after already a week off following a two year hiatus, South Park is back for a new episode on Wednesday.
