The total volume of scripted originals TV series has declined for the first time in a decade.
According to data supplied annually by Disney-owned FX, the total number of scripted original series on broadcast, cable and streaming outlets totaled 493 in 2020. That's down 7 percent from 2019's record-high of 532.
The decline is likely driven by the novel coronavirus pandemic, which halted production across the globe for a big chunk of 2020. The financial strain brought on by the pandemic also prompted a handful of scripted series to be "un-renewed" after factoring in things like filming logistics, rising costs of production and talent schedules.
ABC is officially turning back the clock to the 1960s: The Alphabet network has ordered a pilot for a reboot of The Wonder Years from executive producer Lee Daniels (Empire), TVLine has learned.
The new take on the 1988-93 series will be set during the turbulent '60s, as the original was, but this time will center on a Black middle-class family from Montgomery, Alabama, who "made sure it was The Wonder Years for them too," per the official description. Original star Fred Savage will serve as an EP along with Daniels and will also direct the pilot. Neal Marlens, who co-created the original Wonder Years with Carol Black, will serve as a consultant.
In addition, ABC ordered pilots for two more comedies for the 2021-22 TV season. The single-cam comedy Maggie, based on the short film of the same name, centers on a young woman who "tries to cope with life while coming to terms with her abilities as a psychic. She can see everyone's future, but her present is a mess." Life in Pieces veterans Maggie Mull and Justin Adler will write and serve as EPs.
The network also ordered a pilot for a untitled multi-cam comedy from Regina Hicks (Insecure, Girlfriends) that follows three sorority sisters who lost touch after college and "reunite during a pivotal point in their lives. They realize sometimes it's okay to crack, and when you do, no one will be there for you like your friends." Emmy winner Viola Davis will executive-produce, along with Larry Wilmore (Insecure, grown-ish).
Here's a look at total volume for the past decade:
2009: 210
2010: 216
2011: 266
2012: 288
2013: 349
2014: 389

2016: 454
2017: 487
2018: 495

God I can't believe I watched Once Upon a Time for half as long as I did (and I only made it like halfway through, I can't imagine the trauma people that stuck it out have). More fairy tale crap form them sounds like the least appealing thing out there.
I dont know, I thought those episode schedules is what we always see this time of year, constant random breaks from November to FebruaryI'm sure the driving reason has to do with COVID. Like with S.W.A.T., Shemar Moore contracted COVID and I am quite sure production was delayed for that. But even without anyone contracting anything, production is likely slower in general with the safety guidelines in place. Also, much more expensive. So I wouldn't anticipate as many episodes as other seasons, as well. So they are also spreading them out more. Like with NCIS (original), there are only 16 episodes scheduled for this season than the usual 24.
I completely understand with everything that has been happening, safety comes first. I just hope it doesn't become to the new norm and scheduling, and especially amount of episodes, go back to pre-COVID once this eventually passes.

Didnt even realize there was a price is right at night again, theres been what 4 or 5 so far.
the Neverland season broke me, I slowed down after that. I completely stopped watching in whatever season Elsa showed up in.God I can't believe I watched Once Upon a Time for half as long as I did (and I only made it like halfway through, I can't imagine the trauma people that stuck it out have).

Very true. Comedy shows on broadcast TV have been trending downward for a while now, and are treated mostly as disposable or bingeable. Plus, many of the better comedy shows that are popular are on cable and/or streaming now.I was surprised to see this. Seems like comedy has fallen off among broadcast/cable if SNL has the top spot and that's no shot at SNL. Just that the days of a Big Bang Theory or Modern Family putting up big numbers seem to be over.

Because new network sitcoms suck so hard right now. They can't produce even an ok one. Call me Kat, Call Your Mother ... and that kidney failure on CBS are so terrible. Seriously where all the talented writers, producers go?
Comedy is so subjective, with what people find funny it's hard to do. Yet, it's the one area I still find enjoyable shows on network, B99, Superstore, Bob's Burgers, while I haven't been hooked into a network drama (sans superheroes) in a while. I do have some hope for Debris coming up in March though.
I'm talking about this circle. B99 already on its 8 years and most of good one are on their way out. Networks have yet produced anything worthy the last few years now.
I miss the day of big and small comedies like Big Bang, Modern Family, Happy Endings, Community, Cougar Town, The Middle, Better off Ted, Galavant....

I'm still really bitter about that Sue spinoff that didn't work out.
TheNatureBoy I think you already watch it but Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is the last network hour-long to really grab me.
To the discussion of network sitcoms, I'm really surprised how much I've been enjoying Mr. Mayor. The jokes have been flying pretty fast and enjoyably and the characters are really growing on me.
On the streaming side, Never Have I Ever was one of my favorite new sitcoms in ages. Also really dug the first season of the Saved by the Bell. The whole ensemble was great and Josie Totah in particular was excellent.
Yeah, I do enjoy Zoey's - really like it, but hasn't moved into the love category yet.
I gave Mr. Mayor a few episodes but didn't click with me. I did like Never Have I Ever and the Saved by the Bell reboot is coming up on my watchlist.
I first read this as you dissing on One Day at a Time and was all "oh no U didn't". 🤣 Luckily I read Hobbun's reply to you and noticed my error.God I can't believe I watched Once Upon a Time for half as long as I did (and I only made it like halfway through, I can't imagine the trauma people that stuck it out have).

Agreed. I like it, but I wish I loved it. The music choices are always so damn pedestrian.Yeah, I do enjoy Zoey's - really like it, but hasn't moved into the love category yet.

Yes, it seems deeply unfair to the many many people involved to just burn down the whole show because of one bad person's involvement. Especially considering that said person has already resigned and apologized. Maybe they were just looking for an excuse the close up shop -- not sure how things work in Canada.That's terrible for the cast and crew, but there's really not much you can do in this situation since the whole thing is tainted now.
The article says that they spoke to everyone, so maybe everyone agreed that the entire production was tainted.Yes, it seems deeply unfair to the many many people involved to just burn down the whole show because of one bad person's involvement.
