Antenna TV Re-Acquires One Day at a Time and Sanford and Son; Season 2 of the Wild Series It's Florida, Man

Antenna TV is adding two iconic sitcoms to its celebrated classic television roster in 2026. Beginning Thursday, January 1, viewers can tune in for back-to-back laughs as One Day at a Time and Sanford and Son join the network's schedule.

Created by Whitney Blake and Allan Manings, One Day at a Time (1975–1984) followed Ann Romano (Bonnie Franklin), a newly divorced mother navigating life in Indianapolis with her two teenage daughters, Julie (Mackenzie Phillips) and Barbara (Valerie Bertinelli). Rounding out the cast was Pat Harrington Jr. as the unforgettable building superintendent, Dwayne Schneider. Tackling themes of independence, equality, and resilience with heart and humor, One Day at a Time redefined what it meant to be a modern TV family. The series will air weeknights at 8:00pm & 8:30pm ET/PT and Saturdays at 4:00pm & 4:30pm.

Developed by Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin, Sanford and Son (1972-1977) starred comedy legend Redd Foxx as Fred G. Sanford, a sharp-tongued junk dealer in Los Angeles’ Watts neighborhood, and Demond Wilson as his patient son, Lamont. With its biting wit, social commentary, and signature catchphrases like “You big dummy!” and “This is the big one, Elizabeth!” Sanford and Son became a pop culture phenomenon and a defining comedy of the 1970s. The series will air weeknights at 10:00pm & 10:30pm ET/PT and Saturdays at 3:00pm & 3:30pm.

Antenna TV continues to deliver a strong performance across its classic programming lineup. In 2025, the network's 34 marathons outperformed its total-day average by +30% among Adults 25–54 and +21% among total viewers. The Bewitched Halloween Marathon ranked as Antenna TV's top weekend event of the year, up +13% year-over-year, while the Johnny Carson's 100th Birthday marathon drew 137,000 total viewers, making it the network’s highest-rated Carson event yet.

Season two of the outrageous HBO Original late-night comedy series It's Florida, Man. debuts Friday, November 28 (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. New episodes of the six-episode season will debut weekly.

From Rough House Pictures and Range Studios, this outrageous late-night comedy series brings to life unbelievable ripped-from-the-headlines tales of the Sunshine State – straight from the people who live there. Featuring candid accounts from everyday Floridians playfully recreated by a rotating cast of actors and comedians, this hilarious and irreverent series sheds light on the viral, wacky, and weird. With equal parts humor and heart, It's Florida, Man. is a love letter to the beaches, backwaters, and basements of a misunderstood yet magical state.

Season 2 cast: The second season will include guest stars such as Adam DeVine, Edi Patterson, Tiffany Haddish, Haley Joel Osment, Bert Kreischer, Nick Swardson, Johnny Knoxville, Shea Whigham, Taika Waititi, Rita Ora, Holmes, David Koechner, Joel Kim Booster, Chet Hanks, Milan Carter, Nick Thune, Swoozie Kurtz, Johnny Pemberton, Ryan Mirvis, Brian Sacca, Ping Wu, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Frankie Quiñones, Hassie Harrison, Joseph Ruud, and Michael McDonald.

SitcomsOnline Digest: Tim Allen Headlining ABC Comedy Pilot; NBC Developing Bewitched Inspired Sitcom

 Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's a pretty busy week this week with news of a new Tim Allen sitcom, a NBC series under development that is inspired by a classic series (but not a reboot), a reformatting of a major cable network, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• It looks like Tim Allen is headed to ABC for his third sitcom, with Allen playing a widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop who has his estranged daughter and her teenage children move in. (Deadline)
• This isn't the Bewitched reboot that we were talking about a few weeks ago nor is it officially even connected to the series, but NBC is developing a separate series, a multi-camera comedy that has similar themes as Bewitched and will pay homage to classic sitcoms, and now they've cast the starring role. (Deadline)
• It looks like TruTV, which was originally CourtTV, is evolving again as Warner Bros. Discovery is seeking to turn it into a sports network; meanwhile, the network's one popular series, Impractical Jokers, is moving to TBS. (Cord Cutters News)
• You can now stream every episode of Grey's Anatomy on Hulu. (Variety)
• The Evansville, IN house used for exterior shots on Roseanne and The Conners is currently on the market, and in today's real estate market, it's a pretty good deal. (TV Line)
• This one is truly out of the blue and very surprising: just when you thought daytime soap operas were dead, it looks like CBS is actually developing a new one that will in fact air on CBS, and not on Paramount+. (Hollywood Reporter)
• Although there was an effort to find a new streaming service to carry it, that did not happen and Our Flag Means Death is now officially canceled. (Deadline)
• Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik are reprising their roles from The Big Bang Theory on the final episode of Young Sheldon. (SitcomsOnline)

SitcomsOnline Digest: Bewitched Reboot in the Works; Paramount+ and Peacock in Merger Talks

 Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a Bewitched reboot, a potential merger of two streaming services, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• A Bewitched reboot (or maybe reimagining is the more appropriate description) is in the works, but we don't expect it to be much like the original sitcom at all. (TV Insider)
• Peacock and Paramount+ are rumored to be in merger talks. (Variety)
• The CW wants to compete with the other major broadcast networks, but is that even realistic when they're relying so much on recycling series from other countries? (Deadline)
• Although local broadcast syndication is not even close to being the powerhouse it was even ten years ago, The Conners is set for syndication in the fall. (Variety)
• The CW is working on a Scrabble game show, which may be successful but we don't think is going to be their big hit to compete with major networks. (Deadline)
• It should come as no surprise since it is basically one of the last successful survivors of broadcast network comedies, but ABC has renewed Abbott Elementary for another season. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (FEBRUARY 17 - FEBRUARY 23)

• Catchy Comedy is having a "field day" this weekend, as they celebrate Sally Field's birthday with a binge of three of her sitcoms.

New Elizabeth Montgomery REELZ Special; Apple TV+ Renews The Big Door Prize

Elizabeth Montgomery: A Bewitched Life premieres on Sunday, April 16 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT on REELZ. Among the most enduring TV sitcoms of all time Bewitched remains treasured nearly 60 years after its debut. The star of the series Elizabeth Montgomery was a complex and strong-willed woman whose life and career became an ongoing quest for love and recognition she never received from her movie star father. Bewitched was one of the biggest hits on TV during the turbulent 1960s as the playful magic on the series served as an escape from the era’s unrest that included the JFK assassination and the Vietnam War. But despite being a comedy that brought laughter to millions it was the drama on set that began to curse the show as infidelities entangled series director Bill Asher who at the time was married to Montgomery. The slight led Montgomery herself to have an affair with another Bewitched director. Piling onto the off screen drama was a wider shift within the TV landscape as audiences were leaving fantasy hijinks behind in favor of the edgier storytelling seen in All in the Family. Following Bewitched, Montgomery unexpectedly received another wave of fame becoming the small screen's first "Queen of the TV movies" with groundbreaking movies including A Case of Rape and The Legend of Lizzie Borden. She eventually marries a fourth and final time to actor Robert Foxworth and dies at just 62 years old from colon cancer. But like Lucille Ball before her Montgomery becomes an influential Hollywood female powerhouse and trailblazer who continues to bewitch millions of TV viewers around the world.

Apple TV+ renews acclaimed comedy The Big Door Prize starring Chris O'Dowd and hailing from Emmy Award-winning creator David West Read. On the heels of last week's critically acclaimed and celebrated global premiere of The Big Door Prize, Apple TV+ today announced an early season two renewal for the new character driven comedy from Emmy Award-winning creator David West Read. Starring an ensemble cast led by Chris O'Dowd, the 10-episode half-hour comedy is now streaming on Apple TV+, and new episodes of The Big Door Prize premiere weekly, every Wednesday. Produced by Skydance Television, the second season of The Big Door Prize is now in production.

The Big Door Prize tells the story of a small town that is forever changed when a mysterious machine appears in the general store, promising to reveal each resident's true life potential. Dusty Hubbard (O'Dowd), a seemingly content, cheerful family man and high school teacher, watches everyone around him reevaluate their life choices and ambitions - based on the machine's printouts - and is forced to question whether he is truly as happy as he once thought. While he remains skeptical of the machine, his wife, Cass (Gabrielle Dennis), indulges in the dream that there's something bigger out there for her. Like many of Deerfield's residents, the couple has lived a relatively safe, uncomplicated life, until the arrival of the Morpho machine. However, all of that is about to change when the community is forced to reconcile with their unfulfilled achievements in pursuit of a better future. In addition to O'Dowd, the series stars includes Gabrielle Dennis, Ally Maki, Josh Segarra, Damon Gupton, Crystal Fox, Djouliet Amara and Sammy Fourlas.

Airing in primetime between 7pm and 9:30pm ET will be the series' Halloween episodes including "The Witches Are Out," "Trick Or Treat," "A Safe and Sane Halloween," "To Trick Or Treat" and "The Ghost Who Made A Spectre of Himself."

The comedy series is set 40 years in the future when traveling the solar system is no longer the stuff of sci-fi fantasy, but a booming, multibillion-dollar business. Avenue 5 takes us to a not-so-distant future where space tourism is a booming business. While manning a luxury spacecraft owned by Herman Judd (Josh Gad), Captain Ryan Clark (Hugh Laurie) finds himself in over his head when the ship is thrown disastrously off-course – turning what was meant to be an eight-week cruise into an eight-year journey. Picking up five months after failing to reroute the vessel, season two follows the crew – including fiery engineer Billie (Lenora Crichlow), unpredictable head of customer relations Matt (Zach Woods), and faithful right-hand Iris (Suzy Nakamura) – as they struggle to lead, calm, control, and, if need be, hide from increasingly unruly passengers. On earth, they're lauded as heroes, and in space, everyone can hear them scream.

Season two series regulars include Hugh Laurie, Josh Gad, Zach Woods, Rebecca Front, Suzy Nakamura, Lenora Crichlow, Nikki Amuka-Bird and Ethan Phillips. Guest Stars include Andy Buckley, Jessica St. Clair, Kyle Bornheimer, Adam Pålsson, Daisy May Cooper, Lucy Punch, Leila Farzad, Jonathan Aris and Arsher Ali.

HBO Max has renewed the comedy series Our Flag Means Death, from creator-showrunner David Jenkins, Emmy®-nominated executive producer and star Taika Waititi and Emmy®-nominated executive producer Garrett Basch, for a second season. Season one was (very) loosely based on the true adventures of 18th century would-be pirate Stede Bonnet, played by Rhys Darby (Wrecked). After trading in the seemingly charmed life of a gentleman for one of a swashbuckling buccaneer, Stede became captain of the pirate ship Revenge. Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede's fortunes changed after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard, played by Waititi. To their surprise, the wildly different Stede and Blackbeard found more than friendship on the high seas... they found love. Now they have to survive it. In addition to Darby and Waititi, season one starred an ensemble cast that included Nathan Foad, Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matt Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O'Neill, Guz Khan, David Fane, Rory Kinnear, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, Fred Armisen and Leslie Jones.

A Kindhearted Christmas, starring Cameron Mathison and Jennie Garth premieres Saturday, November 20 at 8pm ET/PT.

Actress Betty Lynn, who was best known for her role as Thelma Lou on The Andy Griffith Show, has died. She died on October 16 in Mount Airy, North Carolina, after a brief illness. Ms. Lynn was 95.

Lynn's first sitcom starring role was as June on the first season of the ABC sitcom Where's Raymond? from 1953 to 1954. June was the wife of Jonathan (Allyn Joslyn) and mother of Ginny (Frances Karath). The series was renamed The Ray Bolger Show for the second season. The Where's Raymond? cast included Ray Bolger, Richard Erdman and Sylvia Lewis.

She played Pearl on the short-lived 1958 ABC sitcom Love That Jill. Pearl was the secretary of Jack Gibson (Robert Sterling). The cast included Anne Jeffreys, James Lydon, Polly Rose, Barbara Nichols, Nancy Hadley and Kay Elhardt.

Lynn appeared in the recurring role as Thelma Lou, Deputy Barney Fife's (Don Knotts) girlfriend, on the CBS sitcom The Andy Griffith Show. She appeared as Barney's sweetheart in 26 episodes from 1961 to 1966. She reprised the role in the 1986 NBC TV reunion movie Return to Mayberry. The Andy Griffith Show cast included Andy Griffith, Ron Howard, Francis Bavier, Elinor Donahue (1960-1961), Jim Nabors (1963-1964), George Lindsey (1965-1968), Aneta Corsaut (1964-1968), Howard McNear, Jack Dodson (1966-1968), Hal Smith (1960-1967) and Jack Burns (1965-1966).

Some of her sitcom guest appearances included The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, The Gale Storm Show (aka Oh, Susanna), The Farmer's Daughter, The Smothers Brothers Show (aka My Brother the Angel), Family Affair (4 episodes as Miss Lee) and My Three Sons (1 episode as Lois Bradley, 6 episodes as Janet/Janice Dawson).

She appeared as Viola Slaughter on eight episodes of the ABC western Texas John Slaughter from 1959 to 1960. Some of her drama guest appearances included M Squad, Lawman, Wagon Train, Bronco, Sugarfoot, Tales of Wells Fargo, National Velvet, Mod Squad, Little House on the Prairie, Police Story, Barnaby Jones and Matlock (4 episodes as Sarah).

Lynn appeared in many films during the 1940s and 1950s. Some of her credits included Sitting Pretty (1948), June Bride (1948), Mother is a Freshman (1949), Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), Payment on Demand (1951) and Meet Me in Las Vegas (1956).

Ms. Lynn was wonderful as Thelma Lou. Thelma Lou was a sweet and kind character. It's surprising that she didn't appear in more than 26 episodes of the series. Lynn had lived in Mount Airy, the home town of Andy Griffith, since 2006. She continued to make monthly personal appearances in town at The Andy Griffith Museum, signing autographs and meeting with her fans. She will be deeply missed.
