SitcomsOnline Digest: Seth Meyers Developing The Game Room for NBC; Glee Reboot Script Written
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a new NBC comedy (hopefully they can get one that'll work), a surprising cancelation at Prime Video, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- Seth Meyers is developing The Game Room, a new workplace comedy for NBC. (Deadline)
- Are we getting a Glee reboot? A script has been written and apparently the original cast is on board. (Entertainment Weekly)
- Despite being a hit, Prime Video has decided to not renew Ride or Die for a second season, but Paramount is not giving up and shopping it to other outlets (perhaps Paramount+?). (Deadline)
- There is still some uncertainty on what is going to happen with the Warner Bros. and Paramount merger, but it's entirely possible that it could be a done deal in the next few weeks, or even days, and it could also involve Comedy Central and BET being sold to another entity. (Variety)
- If you're looking for Ken Jenkins to return to Scrubs in his role as Dr. Kelso, even just for one episode, don't get your hopes up too high. (Deadline)
- For many who watch The Price is Right and remembers how elaborate the series used to be, particularly as it climbed in popularity throughout the Bob Barker years, the cheapening of the show has been evident and recent years, and for the newest season the budget cuts are impossible to ignore. (Parade)
- Netflix has a SCTV documentary coming soon. (SitcomsOnline)
- MeTV Toons has a special treat for classic sitcom fans in their new Sunday night lineup that starts tomorrow, which will feature The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, The New Adventures of Gilligan, Jeannie, and the 1973 animated series, The Addams Family.
- Saturday Night Live is back for a new season tonight with host Jalen Brunson.
- The Fox Sunday night lineup returns tomorrow night, but don't go looking for staples like Bob's Burgers, Family Guy, or even the newly returned American Dad, as The Simpsons is the only original staple coming back tomorrow night (the rest will come later in the season).
- Scrubs returns Wednesday on ABC.
