SitcomsOnline Digest: Law & Order: Organized Crime Ending After Five Seasons; Price Is Right to Get Live Primetime Episode in December
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's not a big news week this week, but we do have news of a cancellation of a Law & Order series, an update on CBS late night programming, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- You'd be forgiven if you have Law & Order fatigue and weren't aware that it was a series, but Law & Order: Organized Crime has, indeed, been a thing for five seasons, but there won't be a sixth. (Variety)
- CBS is planning the first ever live primetime edition of The Price Is Right for December, though Bill Cullen, who pretty much always did it live when he hosted the old version, might dispute it being the first. (Variety)
- Despite leasing the time slot out to reruns syndicated comedy slop from Byron Allen that you're probably not going to laugh at, CBS says they're exploring "other ideas" for the time slot beyond the upcoming season. (Entertainment Weekly)
- Nobody is shopping through TV anymore, and QVC is filing for bankruptcy because of it. (Deadline)
- Sid Krofft, who was half of the duo that made NBC Saturday mornings what they were in the 70s, has died at age 96. (Hollywood Reporter)
- You may have noticed media mergers are going wild lately, but it doesn't look like the merger between Nexstar and Tegna (which would create a local broadcast TV company that would reach 80% of the US) is going as planned. (NPR)
- FETV has acquired Car 54, Where Are You?, and will begin airing it on May 5. (SitcomsOnline)
- Great Entertainment Television is airing Community, starting today.
- Kevin, a new adult animated series from Aubrey Plaza and Joe Wengert, premieres Monday on Prime Video.

SitcomsOnline Digest: CBS Sets Plans for Final Episode of The Neighborhood; ABC Pulls The Bachelorette
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're learning about the finale for The Neighborhood, the last-minute cancellation of an ABC reality show, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- CBS has set plans for the final episode of The Neighborhood. (Deadline)
- ABC has pulled the new season of The Bachelorette at the very last minute following domestic abuse allegations involving the star. (Variety)
- In the major media consolidation that has been happening in the past few years, a huge local TV one happened this week as Tegna merged with Nexstar, giving them reach of 80% of the country (far above the 39% cap that is allowed), and now eight states are suing to block the merger. (CNN)
- Chuck Norris, best known as Walker, Texas Ranger, has died at age 86. (Variety)
- Ed Bernard, known for his roles in The White Shadow and Police Woman, has died, also at age 86. (Hollywood Reporter)
- Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood is getting a YouTube Channel. (Deadline)
- Netflix has revealed the cast for an upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo series. (SitcomsOnline)
- It took eleven years in between seasons (more than the nine years it took between the first two), but The Comeback is back for another season tomorrow night on HBO.
- Saturday Night Live UK launches tonight (which would be about 5 PM for those in the Eastern time zone in the US), but if you want to watch it in the US, you're in luck as Peacock will stream it the next day in the US.
