Saturday, July 25, 2026

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, a media merger could be falling apart, a Paramount+ series has been canceled, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

The merger between Paramount and Warner, which the parties had hoped to finalize in the upcoming weeks, has now been postponed for several months as legal fights against it play out. (Variety)
In a world where reboots keep getting developed and falling flat on their face, things are going pretty well for King of the Hill, which has been very well received (some fans even saying it is better than it originally was), getting a good audience, and already has two more seasons under development. (Cord Cutters News)
Crutch has been canceled after just one season, though it's probably not a big deal to Tracy Morgan as he has another sitcom on the air anyway. (Variety)
The voice cast for the Family Guy spinoff Stewie has been announced. (SitcomsOnline)
