COZI TV Acquires Married... with Children and The King of Queens; The Penguin, The White Lotus, The Last of Us and More Coming to Max in 2024-2025

COZI TV, NBCUniversal Local's national multicast network that delivers TV's all-time best shows and pop culture favorites, has acquired the digital broadcast rights to a pair of iconic, award-winning comedies from Sony Pictures Television, Married... with Children and The King of Queens, which will join COZI TV's 24-hour lineup Aug. 5 and Sept. 9, respectively. Married... with Children and its acclaimed cast of Ed O’Neill, Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate and David Faustino debuted on COZI TV on Saturday (Aug. 3) with a special eight-hour, 16-episode first-season marathon from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. The hit series becomes part of COZI TV's regular lineup TODAY - Aug. 5 when it begins its regular four-episode blocks Mondays through Fridays from 4 to 6 p.m. ET.

The King of Queens brings an all-star cast, led by Kevin James and Leah Remini, to COZI TV beginning Sept. 9.

To celebrate its launch, COZI TV will air an 11-hour marathon Sept. 15, starting at 11 a.m. ET.

Married... with Children centers on the not-so-lovable family of four, the Bundys, a middle-class family in Chicago, and their neighbors, Steve and Marcy Rhoades. One of the longest-running sitcoms in American television history, Married... with Children was a departure from traditional sitcoms of the era due to its offbeat humor, unflinching honesty and unsavory characters, and strained relationships. The first primetime scripted series on the FOX broadcast network, Married... with Children originally aired from 1987 to 1997. Created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt, the 259-episode series ranked as the network’s top-rated comedy and No. 2 overall program from 1991 to 1997. The show earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Television Series, Comedy, in 1991.

The King of Queens follows working-class married couple Doug Heffernan, played by James, an amiable deliveryman, and Carrie Heffernan, a secretary played by Remini, as they navigate daily life with their friends and family in Queens, N.Y. The celebrated cast also features Jerry Stiller as Arthur Spooner, Carrie’s widowed father, and Victor Williams and Patton Oswalt as Doug’s friends. The King of Queens, created by Michael J. Weithorn and David Litt, averaged more than 10 million viewers per episode across nine seasons on CBS from 1998 to 2007. The series won 14 awards during its 207-episode original run, including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Kevin James), and two People Choice Awards nominations for Favorite TV Comedy.

Max has released a new brand spot featuring footage from highly anticipated HBO and Max Originals coming later this year and in 2025. The spot includes a look at new and returning fan-favorites, such as the third season of HBOs Industry (August 11), the fourth and final season of My Brilliant Friend, and the sports documentary series Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears. New series including the adult animated Max Original Creature Commandos, the first series out of the new DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran, Dune: The Propecy, a six-episode HBO Original drama series from the expansive universe of Dune, and The Penguin, an eight-episode HBO Original and DC Studios limited series, starring Academy Award®-nominated actor Colin Farrell, are all featured.

The spot highlights never-before-seen footage from new HBO Originals including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, an adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, It: Welcome to Derry, the prequel series to the hit films with a story by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs, the new comedy series The Franchise, from creators Sam Mendes and Armando Iannucci and writer and showrunner Jon Brown, and Wise Guy David and The Sopranos, a two-part documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Alex Gibney that delves deep into renowned director David Chase’s life, career, and creative process into his groundbreaking work on the HBO Original series The Sopranos. New footage from Max Originals The Pitt, a new drama starring and executive produced by five-time Emmy® nominee Noah Wyle with showrunner Emmy® nominee R. Scott Gemmill and the eight-episode drama series Duster, J.J. Abrams' first series at Max starring Rachel Hilson opposite Josh Holloway, can be seen in the spot.

New footage from returning series can be seen throughout including groundbreaking HBO Original drama series The Last of Us, which had the biggest debut season in HBO's history, the third season of The Gilded Age, which just received its first drama series and actor Emmy® nominations, and the upcoming third season of The White Lotus, along with the third seasons of Max Originals And Just Like That... and The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Roseanne Couch Week on COZI TV; The CW Orders Leighton Meester Series for 2025

COZI TV, NBCUniversal Local's national multicast network, is partnering with Carsey-Werner Television to shine the spotlight this year on the unheralded star of many memorable scenes from its primetime staple Roseanne – the hit sitcom's iconic couch – through a series of events and special programming, beginning this month. COZI TV today announced a comically over-sized, inflatable Roseanne couch, matching the version used on the show, will embark on a nationwide tour of GalaxyCon fan events, which are scheduled for Richmond, Va., March 15-17; Raleigh, N.C., July 25-28; San Jose, Calif., Aug. 16-18; and Miami, (date TBD).

As part of the initiative, COZI TV will present "Roseanne Couch Week," July 8-12. Comprised of 20 episodes, the multi-part marathon will begin nightly at 11 p.m./10 p.m. ET and will be hosted by an animated, crocheted, afghan-wearing talking couch. Over four episodes per night, the verbose couch will spill the stuffing on behind-the-scenes stories and favorite moments from the show, as well as photos of GalaxyCon attendees’ encounters with the colossal replica. The tour and special week of episodes come as Roseanne is transitioning from standard to high-def episodes, remastered with the use of fast-evolving AI technology that, combined with human artistry, allows studios to convert episodes from their original low-quality tape sources into HD 16x9 master materials on an ongoing basis.

The CW Network, Roku Originals and Stan have teamed up for the original scripted series Good Cop/Bad Cop starring Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl), Luke Cook (Katy Keene, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and Clancy Brown (Dexter: New Blood, Billions). Production on the eight-part procedural dramedy created by John Quaintance (Reboot, Will & Grace) and produced by Jeff Wachtel's Future Shack Entertainment and Jungle Entertainment is slated to begin later this spring in Queensland, Australia. The series is set to premiere on The CW in 2025 and will stream on The Roku Channel in the U.S. and Stan in Australia.

Good Cop/Bad Cop is a one-hour procedural dramedy centered around Lou (Leighton Meester) and Henry (Luke Cook), an odd couple sister and brother detective team in a small Pacific Northwest police force. They must contend with colorful residents, a serious lack of resources, and their very complicated dynamic with each other and with their police chief, Big Hank (Clancy Brown) - who happens to be their father.

From the inventive minds that brought us the award winning adult animation favorite Big Mouth comes the even edgier and adult-ier Human Resources. The spin-off pulls back the curtain on the daily lives of the creatures - Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, Shame Wizards and many more - that help humans journey through every aspect of life from puberty to parenthood to the twilight years. It quickly becomes clear that though the protagonists are creatures, they have a lot of humanity themselves. Featuring an all-star voice cast - including Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph and David Thewlis reprising their Big Mouth roles as well as Aidy Bryant, Brandon Kyle Goodman, Keke Palmer, and Randall Park among others - Human Resources is not your normal day at the office. The series is co-created and executive produced by Kelly Galuska, Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin.

Fox Entertainment has given an early Season Two renewal to its upcoming animated comedy Grimsburg, starring and executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Jon Hamm (Mad Men, Confess, Fletch). Wholly owned by Fox Entertainment and produced by Fox's Emmy-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment, Grimsburg centers on Marvin Flute (Hamm), who may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown and correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there's one mystery he still can't crack - himself. To do that he must return to Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, and redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow detectives, his ferocious ex-wife and his lovably unstable son. Grimsburg will premiere in 2023. The series joins Fox Entertainment's other all-new animated comedy, Krapopolis, which last week also was renewed for a second season. Both programs will be introduced to international program buyers this week at MIPCOM CANNES by Fox's recently formed content sales unit, Fox Entertainment Global.

Remembering the Legendary Angela Lansbury, COZI TV Airing Tribute Marathon; Disney Channel Orders Season 7 of Bunk'd

Actress and singer Angela Lansbury, who starred as fictional writer and sleuth Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote, has died. She died in her sleep at her home in Los Angeles, California, on the morning of October 11. Ms. Lansbury was 96.

Lansbury's early television guest appearances included Robert Montgomery Presents, The Revlon Mirror Theater, The Ford Television Theatre, Schlitz Playhouse of Stars, Lux Video Theatre, The George Gobel Show, Four Star Playhouse, The Star and the Story, Celebrity Playhouse, Studio 57, Climax!, Playhouse 90, The Eleventh Hour, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Trials of O'Brien.

Lansbury starred as Jessica Fletcher on the 1984-1996 CBS detective drama Murder, She Wrote. Jessica Fletcher is a retired school teacher from the fictional town of Cabot Cove, Maine, who became a successful detective novelist after her husband's death, also solving murders encountered during her travels. Murder, She Wrote became one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history. The series ran for twelve seasons and 264 episodes. She appeared in a crossover episode with Magnum, P.I. in 1986. CBS aired four television movies from 1997 to 2003.

She holds the record for the most Emmy nominations for outstanding lead actress in a drama series with twelve, one for each season. She never won, which is also a record. She won four Golden Globe Awards for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series – Drama 1984, 1986, 1989 in 1991. Lansbury worked as executive producer for the final four seasons. Recurring and occasional cast members included Tom Bosley (1984-1988), Michael Horton (1985-1990), William Windom (1985-1996), Richard Paul (1986-1991), Ron Masak (1989-1996), Keith Mitchell (1990-1991), James Sloyan (1990-1991), Ken Swofford (1990-1991), Hallie Todd (1990-1991) and Louis Herthum (1991-1996).

Lansbury made an appearance as a mother named Eleanor Duvall in a season six episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, for which she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in 2005. She also appeared as Eleanor Duvall in Law & Order: Trial by Jury in 2005. She played Lady Berrington in a 2002 episode of Touched by an Angel. In December 2017, she performed in her final television role as Aunt March in the BBC miniseries Little Women.

She received three Academy Awards nominations for her work in Gaslight (1944), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1955) and The Manchurian Candidate (1962). Some of her other film credits included The Harvey Girls (1946), State of the Union (1948), The Court Jester (1956), The Long, Hot Summer (1958), Blue Hawaii (1961) and Death on the Nile (1978).

Lansbury was in classic children's films such as Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), The Last Unicorn (1982), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Anastasia (1997), Fantasia 2000 (2000), Nanny McPhee (2005), The Grinch (2018) and Mary Poppins Returns (2018).

She was known for her work on stage in musicals. She was a five-time Tony winner for her work in Mame (1966), Dear World (1969), Gypsy (1975), Sweeney Todd (1979) and Blithe Spirit (2009). She received the award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre at the 75th Tony Awards in 2022.

Lansbury was interviewed for The Interviews: An Oral History of Television on September 15, 1998.

She is survived by her children, Anthony, Deirdre, and David, as well as three grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and her brother, producer Edgar Lansbury.

Ms. Lansbury was a legendary actress in films, on stage and on television. Jessica Fletcher was a loved character. She played her to perfection. Interestingly enough, Jean Stapleton was originally offered the role, but she declined it. In 1983, Lansbury had to choose between a Norman Lear sitcom opposite Charles Durning or Murder, She Wrote. Her agents had advised her to accept the sitcom role, but she clearly made the right choice with the detective drama. We thank her for the entertainment that she brought us during her long career, which spanned eight decades. She will be deeply missed.

COZI TV announced that beginning today (Wednesday, Oct. 12), it will preempt its regular programming for a four-day "Angela Lansbury Tribute Marathon" to honor the beloved television, film, and stage star, who died on Tuesday at the age of 96. The special programming, which will be presented daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET through Saturday, Oct. 15, will feature every episode from the first two seasons of Lansbury’s iconic series Murder, She Wrote. The marathon will also include select episodes from the hit drama's third season and will conclude with Season 12 series finale.

Disney Branded Television announced that a seventh season of the beloved hit comedy series Bunk'd has been given a greenlight. The seventh season renewal makes the hit series the longest-running live-action Disney Channel series. Bunk'd continues to perform for the channel as one of the top 10 live-action series among kids 6-11 years old. Series regulars Miranda May (Lou), Trevor Tordjman (Parker), Mallory James Mahoney (Destiny), Israel Johnson (Noah), Shiloh Verrico (Winnie), Luke Busey (Jake) and Alfred Lewis (Bill) are all set to return. Erin Dunlap will remain as executive producer and showrunner of the series in addition to May, who will continue her season six appointed role as executive producer while also directing select episodes.

Season six of Bunk'd: Learning the Ropes will air a holiday-themed episode on Friday, Dec. 2, with new weekly episodes returning in January 2023. Set in Dusty Tush, Wyoming, Lou, Parker, Destiny and Noah have been working double time to get the new Kikiwaka Ranch up and running, learning new ranch skills, acquainting themselves to the townsfolk and welcoming their new campers. It's been a bumpy start, but campers Bill, Winnie and Jake have loved their time at summer camp. In addition to perfecting his cowboy skills, Bill is discovering his fellow campers may be just as fun to hang out with as herding cattle. Winnie is learning to reign in her thrill-seeking needs, and Jake is realizing how exciting real-life can be away from video games. Meanwhile, counselors and campers band together to hunt for a mysterious treasure that is said to be hidden somewhere on the ranch.

COZI TV Fall 2022 Schedule; FX Announces New Drama Premiere Date for Hulu

A few weeks ago COZI TV announced their new additions for Fall, now we have the rest of the lineup that will start Monday (Oct. 3). Much of the weekday afternoon lineup has changed due to Monk and Bones being added, and Las Vegas being added in late fringe. Amen is completely off the lineup, while Gimme a Break! is now just weekdays 4-5am. Also, 3rd Rock from the Sun will now air only 3-4am, but 7 days a week. Weeknight & Sunday night primetime sitcoms stay, with Frasier from 8-10pm, followed by an hour each of Roseanne and The Nanny. Due to all the changes, Little House on the Prairie is now only on Sundays, but from 11am-4pm leading into a block of The Munsters from 4pm-8pm. And finally, Saturday nights got more better with everyone's favorite detective Columbo, now airing from 8pm-12am.

FX's Fleishman Is in Trouble, based on Taffy Brodesser-Akner's critically acclaimed, best-selling novel, will premiere Thursday, November 17 exclusively on Hulu. The premiere will feature the first two episodes of the eight-episode series. A new episode will be available each subsequent Thursday. The series will soon be available on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ under the Star banner in all other territories. Fleishman Is In Trouble is the story of recently divorced 41-year-old "Toby Fleishman" (Jesse Eisenberg), who dives into the brave new world of app-based dating with the kind of success he never had dating in his youth, before he got married at the tail end of medical school. But just at the start of his first summer of sexual freedom, his ex-wife, "Rachel" (Claire Danes), disappears, leaving him with 11-year-old "Hannah" (Meara Mahoney Gross) and 9-year-old "Solly" (Maxim Swinton) and no hint of where she is or whether she plans to return. As he balances parenting, the return of old friends "Libby" (Lizzy Caplan) and "Seth" (Adam Brody), a potential promotion at the hospital that is a long time coming - and all the eligible women that Manhattan has to offer - he realizes that he'll never be able to figure out what happened to "Rachel" until he can finally face what happened to their marriage in the first place.

SitcomsOnline Digest: Laverne Cox Comedy from Norman Lear Lands Freevee Series Order; Fox Looking Into Adult Animated Drama

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's feeling more like fall and the full-throated kickoff for the fall television season is almost here, but we're not there just yet (though a season premiere of one cable series is lingering out there this week). This week, we have news of a new Norman Lear comedy and some adult animated drama news for Fox. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• Sure, he is 100 years old, but still, Norman Lear has a new sitcom coming to Freevee starring Laverne Cox and George Wallace. (TVLine)
• It's not clear how this would even pan out, but as Fox is in negotiations for keeping their animated hits on the air (something that is far less certain now that they are Disney properties and not owned by Fox), the network is looking into adult animated dramas. (Deadline)
• In advance of the premiere of the Quantum Leap reboot, a special drive-thru experience is coming to Los Angeles. (Deadline)
• Deadline has a look at season premiere dates. (Deadline)
• Fans of Days of Our Lives (or really any daytime soap opera) have been used to unscheduled preemptions for breaking news for all of TV history, so it was only fitting that the last two episodes of the series to air on NBC before the series moves to Peacock on Monday were disrupted due to the death of Queen Elizabeth (which, oddly enough, means that the series started while she was queen and more or less ended as soon as she died). (People)
• Bernard Shaw, who was the chief anchor for CNN when it debuted, has died. (CNN)
• It looks as if COZI is moving a little further away from the truly vintage classic TV roots that it started with (though still not diving too far off course), as they'll be adding Monk, Bones, and Las Vegas to their lineup. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (SEPTEMBER 10 - SEPTEMBER 16)

• It's a bird, it's a plane... it's a weekend binge of The Adventures of Superman on Decades.
• Season 4 of Atlanta arrives on FX on Thursday.

COZI TV Acquires Monk, Bones and Las Vegas; HBO Max Renews Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

Starting Monday, October 3, COZI TV will be expanding their series catalog by adding new shows Bones, Las Vegas, and Monk to their weekly schedules. The new additions of Monk and Bones will air Monday through Friday between 2 PM and 8 PM ET and Las Vegas, a COZI TV exclusive series, will be airing seven days a week from 12 AM to 3 AM ET each morning (check local listings).

Both marathons will feature the first twelve episodes from their first seasons (check local listings).

Bones made its television series debut in 2005 on Fox and ran for more than a decade, ending after 12 seasons in 2017. The crime comedy-drama stars David Boreanaz, as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, and Emily Deschanel, as forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan. Las Vegas, originally debuting on NBC in 2003, ran for five seasons. The Montecito Casino and Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip is the backdrop of the hectic and fast lives of main characters Danny McCoy, played by Josh Duhamel, and his boss Ed Deline, played by James Caan. The show's cast features a variety of stars throughout its five seasons including Nikki Cox, James Lesure, Vanessa Marcil, Molly Sims, Marsha Thomason, and, later, Tom Selleck. Monk originally debuted in 2002 for eight seasons on USA Network. The series stars Tony Shalhoub as the lead character, Adrian Monk, a former San Francisco detective who now works as a private consultant for law enforcement while coping with his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

HBO Max has renewed the original drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin for a second season. Co-created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, the ten episode first season, which debuted in July of this year, is currently available to stream on HBO Max. Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in present day, a disparate group of teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin committed by their parents two decades ago...as well as their own. In the dark, coming-of-age, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe — in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars.

The series stars Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, Maia Reficco, Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Elena Goode, Eric Johnson, Alex Aiono and Lea Salonga.

COZI TV Celebrates Emergency! 50th Anniversary with Documentary; Kaley Cuoco Heads to Peacock for Comedic Thriller Series

Celebrating the lasting impact of one of television’s most iconic action dramas, COZI TV will premiere a special anniversary celebration documentary, Emergency! 50! The Show That Saved Your Life, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Emergency! The 60-minute special will air on Saturday, August 13 and re-air on Saturday, August 20 and Monday, September 5 (check local listings). The original COZI TV documentary will explore the long-term impact of the show and the many lives it influenced – including those inspired to enter service as a first responder.

The special will include interviews with cast members, Randy Mantooth (Johnny Gage) and Kevin Tighe (Roy DeSoto). It will also provide an insider’s look at the Los Angeles County Fire Museum, where the show’s original emergency response equipment is housed and will include interviews with from museum representatives Capt. Paul Schneider, Capt. Ernie Ramirez, Capt. Joe Woyjeck, Capt. Paul Oyler. Other guests who will share their personal Emergency! stories will be, Gary Davis, one of LA’s original paramedics; Greg Enslen, author of Emergency! A Binge Guide to the Series; Paul Bergman, UCLA Law Professor; Tim Perkins, EMT and writer; Rev. Tim Polley, a superfan and collector; Eric Wright, firefighter paramedic and collector; Elena Miranda, writer and superfan and more.

Emergency! broke new ground in both the entertainment industry and in fire and emergency services. Often referred to as the first reality-based television show, Emergency! introduced the American public, and the world, to the then-revolutionary concept of using specially trained firefighters in the field to provide advanced life-saving services. According to the Los Angeles County Fire Museum, when Emergency! debuted on January 15, 1972, only twelve paramedic squads were in service in the entire country, with eight of them located in Los Angeles County. By the end of the show’s seven-year run, paramedic services grew substantially with over half of the U.S. population located within four-to-seven minutes of advanced lifesaving care. COZI TV, the national multicast network is today's television home of Emergency!, airing weekdays at noon and Saturdays at 6:00 PM (check local listings). NBC4 was the program's original television home, which aired Saturday nights in Los Angeles and across the country from 1972 through 1977.

Peacock announced that two-time Emmy Award-nominee Kaley Cuoco (The Flight Attendant, The Big Bang Theory, 8 Simple Rules) will star in the leading role of the highly-anticipated dark comedic thriller Based on a True Story, from Emmy Award-nominated Craig Rosenberg (The Boys, LOST, Preacher). Cuoco will play a married woman named Ava Bartlett. All other details are being kept under wraps. A dark comedic thriller inspired by a bizarre true event, Based on a True Story is about a realtor, a plumber and a former tennis star whose lives unexpectedly collide, exposing America's obsession with true crime, murder and the slow close toilet seat.

Rosenberg will serve as writer, showrunner and executive producer. Jason Bateman (Ozark, The Outsider) will executive produce alongside Michael Costigan for Aggregate Films. Roxie Rodriguez serves as co-executive producer for Aggregate Films. The series will be produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. Cuoco was nominated for an Emmy award again this year (for the second year in a row) for her performance in The Flight Attendant in the category Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She is currently shooting the action-thriller Role Play.
