SitcomsOnline Digest: South Park (or South America?) Returns September 16; City of Los Angeles Prepared for Second Season of Baywatch Reboot

 Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! We're coming up on a busy "fall premiere" week (the bigger one comes week after this coming week), but also a little news about the return of South Park (America?), a hope for renewal for the reboot of Baywatch (that hasn't even premiered yet) and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• South Park is coming back in just a few days, and it seems (we're not really sure, the creators sometimes follow through on things like this and sometimes don't) that it'll be renamed South America, a reference to places on the map being renamed by executive order in the past few years. (Hollywood Reporter)
• We haven't even seen the first season of Fox's Baywatch reboot, but the city of Los Angeles is already preparing for a season two. (Deadline)
• The New York Post reported earlier this week that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be canceled at the end of this season, but it seems that ABC and Kimmel are renegotiating a contract. (Deadline)
• Judge Judy is retiring, at least from being on-screen. (TV Insider)
• Disclosure Day has a release date on Peacock. (Variety)
• Rob Reiner has won a posthumous Emmy for his role in The Bear. (Variety)

SitcomsOnline Digest: Jon Stewart Set to Return to The Daily Show Once a Week; Ted McGinley to Star in Prime Video Series

  Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we are hearing about Jon Stewart's return to The Daily Show, we're learning about a new Prime Video series, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• Jon Stewart is returning to The Daily Show, at least once a week for the next few months, but given that the show itself is a long way from finding a permanent host and that the best option is to apparently bring back the "fresh face" from 1999, it has people wondering what the future of late night talk actually is. (Time)
• Prime Video has acquired a series called The Baxters, which will star Roma Downey and Ted McGinley. (Deadline)
• The Golden Bachelor is turning out to be rather successful for ABC. (Deadline)
• Judy Justice is coming to local syndication in the fall. (Variety)
• Jaleel White is set to host a new game show this fall. (Deadline)
• Antenna TV is having another Super Belle Sunday featuring Designing Women on the day of "the big game." (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (JANUARY 27 - FEBRUARY 2)

• Catchy Comedy has a very special binge this weekend featuring some short-lived sitcoms, including Brooklyn Bridge, the sitcom adaptation of Ferris Bueller, and Square Pegs.
• We've been talking about it for months, and for a while we thought we were just being trolled, but every season of My Three Sons has finally arrived on Prime Video.
