SitcomsOnline Digest: Roku Picks Up Second Season of Chad; Bad News Bears Remake in the Works
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we've got news about Chad (we'll finally see season two!), news of a TV series remake of a movie (which already had a TV series remake over 40 years ago), and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- Chad, which TBS cancelled just hours before the scheduled season two premiere, has been picked up by Roku. (Deadline)
- CBS is looking to make a series based upon The Bad News Bears, which would actually be the second TV series remake of it following the one from 1979. (Deadline)
- Netflix has renewed The Upshaws for a third season. (Variety)
- A new dynamic that we'll probably be seeing more of as new streaming services pop up (and possibly others collapse) is the move of a series from one streaming service to another, and now, the new season of Girls5eva will air on Peacock rather than Netflix. (Deadline)
- Call Me Kat paid tribute to Leslie Jordan, who died this week while he was driving to the set for the show. (Variety)
- Once we get Halloween out of the way, we've got the big season of holidays on the way, and Antenna TV has plans for those. (SitcomsOnline)

- Meanwhile, Rewind TV has a marathon of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch on Monday.
- You'll be seeing lots of Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror" episodes on FXX this weekend, including a marathon that airs them all in reverse order on Monday.

- Blockbuster, the sitcom about the last video rental store from the chain, debuts Thursday on Netflix.
- NBC has the season premiere of Young Rock and series debut of Lopez vs. Lopez on Friday, as they attempt to make Friday night a comedy destination.

SitcomsOnline Digest: Patricia Heaton Eyes a Return to TV With CBS Sitcom; VEI Announced Bad News Bears TV Series DVD Release
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! Fall is here and in full force, but there are yet still a few more fall season premieres to come... and we'll get those this week at ABC! Meanwhile, we've got news of a possible new sitcom for Patricia Heaton (you didn't think she was going away, did you?), another cast member leaving Shameless, and news of a rare sitcom release from VEI. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- Patricia Heaton may be taking a little time off from work for now, but she's ready to jump back into action with yet another new sitcom that is in development at CBS, Carol's Second Act. (Variety)
- First, Emmy Rossum announced she was leaving Shameless, and now Cameron Monaghan has announced the same, leaving people to wonder how the show can go on with the existing characters. (Entertainment Weekly)
- Actress Peggy McCay, who is mostly known for her long-running role on Days of Our Lives but also had guest starring roles in numerous sitcoms and primetime dramas, has died at age 90. (Hollywood Reporter)
- Even if it was a memorable series that is still watched to this day, Steve Carrell says that new episodes of The Office wouldn't work in today's social climate. (Deadline)
- Late Night with Seth Meyers will be going live on election night, with MSNBC's Chris Hayes to help discuss everything. (TVLine)
- We're only barely out of the summer 2018 TV season (arguably it's still winding down as there are still a few fall series that haven't even debuted yet), but The CW is already looking ahead to next summer. (SitcomsOnline)
HOME MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS
- It's been a very long time since VEI first announced they would be releasing several series from the CBS library on DVD, but they're still chugging along and getting them out, with the short-lived The Bad News Bears - All 26 Episodes announced this week. It will be released on October 31.
WEEKLY PLANNER (OCTOBER 13 - OCTOBER 19)
- Decades continues their Halloween themed weekend binges this weekend, with a marathon of Ghost Story/Circle of Fear.
- Seth Meyers returns to his roots at Saturday Night Live tonight as the host.
- The Alec Baldwin Show will officially premiere Sunday night on ABC, with guests Robert De Niro and Taraji P. Henson.
- We're not done with fall premiere season, as the ABC Tuesday night lineup is nothing but season and series debuts, featuring The Conners, The Kids Are All Right, black-ish, Splitting Up Together, and The Rookie.
