TV NEWS SEPTEMBER 21

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2013/09/digital-digest-television-without-pity.html

Welcome to Digital Digest! We're on the last day of summer and fall is mere hours away, but for all four seasons, we're here with all of your news, reviews, and more, including a review this week of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - The Thirteenth Season. Let's get going!


DIGITAL NEWS

An annual tradition for the past decade at the website Television Without Pity has been their Tubey Awards, where fans get to honor the best (and worst) of television. This week, the winners of the 2013 Tubey Awards have been announced. Among highlights in the sitcom world, Parks & Recreationwon the award for Best Comedy (both among fans and the TWoP staff), New Girl won the award for Best Broadcast Network Series among fans, Two and a Half Men and Glee won for Worst Returning Series (and that isn't the only depressing award it earned), and Community won for Most Disappointing Season of a Previously Awesome Show. You can check out the complete list of winners (or losers, in some cases) in over 100 categories, including seeing what fans really think about Snooki, Jwoww, and Honey Boo Boo, by checking out the page for the Tubey Awards.

We've known that we would be seeing more of The Carol Burnett Show on DVD in the form of StarVista's upcoming release of The Carol Burnett Show - Christmas with Carol, but it appears that there will be a slight delay in the release. According to TVShowsOnDVD.com, the release will be coming on November 12. Of course, this release will be available on store shelves, and we hope to have a review of it once it is available.

We normally wouldn't cover a whole lot of dramas here, much less teen dramas, but sometimes exceptions have to be made, especially when it is an older one that many people remember and it hasn't been seen much at all in recent years. This week, we stumbled upon an interesting new addition to Hulu for those who grew up watching Nickelodeon (or perhaps YTV in Canada) in the early '90s. It appears that the series Fifteen (called Hillside in Canada) is now available to stream for free on the service. The series followed a group of high school students at the fictional Hillside High School as they dealt with very difficult issues in their lives. There were 65 episodes, and oddly enough, the first fifteen are available on Netflix, as part of their collection of series from the Peter Rodger Organization.
