SitcomsOnline Digest: NBC Plans Next Live Musical; Step by Step Finally Coming to DVD
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about NBC's next live musical, we're learning that ABC is cancelling one of their daytime series, and we're hearing about the release of the first season of a very popular sitcom from the 90s TGIF lineup on ABC. In addition, it's a holiday weekend, so we've got plenty of marathons to enjoy on TV. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- NBC has chosen their next live musical, and it will be Hair. (Hollywood Reporter)

- FX has renewed Baskets for a fourth season. (Variety)
- In perhaps another sign that physical media is in decline (we still love it around here), TVShowsOnDVD.com has officially closed this week, although the site has some yet-to-be-revealed plans to continue a presence on Facebook and Twitter. (The Digital Bits)
- As always, MeTV is bringing back their Summer of Me lineup, and The Jeffersons and Charlie's Angels will be part of that lineup this year. (SitcomsOnline)

HOME MEDIA RELEASES (MAY 29)
- Different Strokes - The Complete Final Season (DVD, $22.97): Oddly enough, with the demise of TVShowsOnDVD.com being this past week, one of our favorite sitcoms around here will be wrapping up on DVD this week.
