Still exceedingly self-confident, Fielding must adjust to a new boss and a new job - defending the downtrodden. And, beneath his arrogant demeanor, there is an empathetic side to Fielding that Abby is determined to unearth.

SitcomsOnline Digest: Patricia Richardson on Potential Home Improvement Reboot; Paramount+ Removes Several Nickelodeon Series

 Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a reboot that isn't happening, a new game show starring Urkel, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• Patricia Richardson recently appeared in a podcast in which she completely dismissed the idea of a Home Improvement reboot or reunion, and flat out called Tim Allen a liar for even suggesting that he'd talked to everybody, and also referred to her TV son Zachery Ty Bryan as a "felon." (Entertainment Weekly)
• Get ready for a new game show this fall with Jaleel White as host. (Deadline)
• We always mention that streaming is never permanent, and Paramount+ is proving that by removing several Nickelodeon series that were rebooted for the service, including the reboot of Rugrats. (Deadline)
• Actor Louis Gossett Jr., who appeared on many series (especially in the 1970s), has died. (AP News)
• Proving that "trash talk" TV isn't totally dead yet (though it is nothing like it was in the 90s particularly), The Steve Wilkos Show has been renewed for an 18th season. (Deadline)
• NBC News has gotten itself into a $600,000 mess after making a controversial hire that resulted in an on-air revolt (and eventual firing of the new contributor) by just about every personality at MSNBC. (Politico)
• After the release of Three's Company (and all of the spinoffs), it is probably no surprise that VEI is now releasing the complete series of Too Close for Comfort and even Check it Out on DVD, and they're both coming next week. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (MARCH 30 - APRIL 5)

• Catchy Comedy has a Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts binge this weekend.
• NBC has the second season of Lopez vs. Lopez on Tuesday night.
• Community debuts on Peacock on Monday.

Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can't help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved. Production: Scheduled to start in late March in Vancouver.
