Some shows have greater longevity than others, though, as certain ones get canceled after only a few seasons for one reason or another. You may not believe it, but there are a number of funny and very well-known series that didn’t get 100 episodes under their belts before they concluded. On that note, let’s discuss some really famous situation comedies that were unable to hit that milestone.</p><figure class="van-image-figure inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="tpFDtD3auJVYE93gYPQMcK" name="Teen Romance TV Shows-7.jpg" alt="Tiffani Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselaar in Saved by the Bell" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/tpFDtD3auJVYE93gYPQMcK.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: NBC)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="saved-by-the-bell-86-episodes-2">Saved By The Bell (86 Episodes)</h2><p>It would be an understatement to say <em>Saved by the Bell</em> is one of the most <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/great-tv-comedies-set-in-schools-and-how-to-watch-them"><u>recognizable school-set sitcoms</u></a> of all time.

The House of Mouse found itself engaged in a carrier dispute with Charter Communications – the operator the Spectrum TV. Said dispute led to about 15 million customers being left without ESPN, Disney Channel and other networks owned by the entertainment conglomerate. Amid the situation <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/disney-response-charter-dispute-spectrum-customers-without-espn-and-more"><u>Disney also shared a blistering take</u></a> on the disagreement. Now, the business squabble has been resolved and, in the aftermath, <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/bob-iger">Bob Iger</a> released a statement that was far less harsh. </p><p>News of the updated deal between the companies was reported on Monday, and both sides are apparently satisfied with the manner in which the proceedings shook out. At least, that’s the feeling one gets by what was said by the heads of the companies. Disney CEO Bob Iger released a joint statement with Charter’s head honcho, Chris Winfrey. The two execs discussed their shared desire to have an “innovative” approach to their business dealings moving forward. They also touched on what this agreement represents in their eyes: </p><figure><blockquote><p>Our collective goal has always been to build an innovative model for the future. This deal recognizes both the continued value of linear television and the growing popularity of streaming services while addressing the evolving needs of our consumers. We also want to thank our mutual customers for their patience this past week and are pleased that Spectrum viewers once again have access to Disney’s high-quality sports, news and entertainment programming, in time for Monday Night Football.</p></blockquote></figure><p>This statement, which was shared with <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/disney-spectrum-new-carriage-deal-espn-abc-return-to-lineups-1235580344/"><u>The Hollywood Reporter</u></a>, is vastly different in tone from what’s been said by both companies as of late. Spectrum accused Disney of ignoring its proposals for new deals while simultaneously only seeking to raise costs for carrying its content. As mentioned by the trade, one of the most significant points of contention revolving around Charter Communications wanting more flexibility when it comes to the channels it offers customers. Additionally, it also wanted permission to offer the entertainment titan’s streaming services. </p><p>Charter may now find itself in a prime position to attract prospective (or even existing) <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2492773/how-to-best-use-disney-tips-to-get-the-most-out-of-the-streaming-service"><u>Disney+ subscribers</u></a>. A “wholesale agreement” now allows select Spectrum TV customers to have access to the ad-based tier of the flagship streaming platform. Those who partake in the carrier’s Select TV Plus service can also gain access to ESPN+. So Monday Night Football fans should be pleased, for the most part. However, several networks -- like FreeForm and FXX -- are no longer available to those customers because of the revised charter, according to <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://tvline.com/news/freeform-missing-spectrum-cable-disney-junior-channels-1235041332/#recipient_hashed=6b7762fe83914e693efec540ae1f3e1027f860643711df57075f6a098cfd7825&recipient_salt=8ee83c123beccaa01e5d25141155db8ab2bb165cfcbac0943f4f25e190724b38">TVLine</a>.</p><p>Before both sides signed on the dotted line though, the two corporations shared some blunt thoughts on the state of affairs. Disney, in particular, didn’t hold back. The corporate entity expressed interest in resuming talks with Spectrum amid the dispute. But simultaneously, it told consumers that “they have many options today and can choose from competing pay TV providers that offer Disney’s entire portfolio of networks and programming.” It also accused Charter of making this past Labor Day weekend “stressful” for viewers due to the standstill. In a subsequent message, the House of Mouse further recommended that those wishing to have their content direct themselves to Hulu + Live TV, per <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/disney-encourages-spectrum-customers-move-hulu-live-tv-charter-dispute"><u>Fox Business</u></a>. All in all, it goes without saying that this message is a lot softer than those previous ones. </p><p>This is just one of the business matters Bob Iger has had to contend with since he returned to The Walt Disney Company in November 2022 and <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/theme-parks/bob-iger-is-already-making-big-changes-at-disney-but-theres-one-more-chapek-decision-thing-that-needs-to-be-undone-now"><u>began making big changes</u></a>.

All of that aside though, Iger and his colleagues can at least, breathe a sigh of relief over the fact that the company’s relationship with Charter and Spectrum has been smoothed over.</p> ]]></dc:content> <link>https://www.cinemablend.com/television/bob-iger-spoke-out-after-disney-settled-dispute-with-spectrum</link> <description> <![CDATA[ Bob Iger shared a statement after Disney and Spectrum settled their carrier dispute, and it's much softer than his company's previous sentiments. ]]> </description> <guid isPermaLink="false">9k8PCtfJNiqbRJVRJy96jV</guid> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/doxrQGKxCc75AsAESJfhaL.jpeg" type="image/jpeg" length="0"></enclosure> <pubDate>Mon, 11 Sep 2023 19:34:49 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Television]]></category> <media:content type="image/jpeg" url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/doxrQGKxCc75AsAESJfhaL.jpeg"> <media:credit><![CDATA[AppleTV+]]></media:credit> <media:text><![CDATA[Bob Iger on The Problem with Jon Stewart]]></media:text> <media:title type="plain"><![CDATA[Bob Iger on The Problem with Jon Stewart]]></media:title> </media:content> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[ Lou Grant And Mary Tyler Moore Show Icon Ed Asner Is Dead At 91 ]]></title> <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>Ed Asner, the veteran actor known for his extensive work, including his roles on <em>Lou Grant</em> and <em>The Mary Tyler Moore Show</em> has passed away. Asner’s family confirmed that he passed away Sunday morning. The TV legend was 91 at the time of his passing.</p><p>The Asner family did not confirm a cause of death when they confirmed their patriarch’s passing via <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://twitter.com/TheOnlyEdAsner/status/1432034864384000007">Twitter</a>. However, his passing is sure to come as a surprise to many, considering that the actor was still incredibly spry and lively. His family paid tribute to him with this brief statement:</p><figure><blockquote><p>We are sorry to say that our beloved patriarch passed away this morning peacefully. Words cannot express the sadness we feel. With a kiss on your head- Goodnight dad. We love you.</p></blockquote></figure><p>Very few actors have been privileged enough to have a career as extensive as Ed Asner’s. Then again, not too many actors have the distinct skills and on-screen presence the actor possessed. For years, Anser entered avid TV viewers’ homes via their TV and delighted them with his witty, tough guy persona, which only masked his soft side.</p><p>Ed Asner was born in Kansas City, Missouri on November 15 to immigrant parents. After graduating from college, the young Asner would serve his country as a member of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. During his service, he would star in plays that toured army camps across Europe and, after his military tenure was finished, he truly caught the acting bug and joined Playwrights Theatre Company in Chicago before heading to New York.</p><p>After a stint <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2552629/as-broadway-and-stages-are-dark-hamiltons-anthony-ramos-talks-missing-the-stage" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2552629/as-broadway-and-stages-are-dark-hamiltons-anthony-ramos-talks-missing-the-stage">on Broadway</a> in the early ‘60s, Ed Asner began to pick up roles in both movies and TV shows. But it would ultimately be the latter that would allow him to make his mark on pop culture. After working through the ‘60s, Asner landed a role <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2550533/mary-tyler-moore-fascinating-facts-about-the-tv-and-film-star" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2550533/mary-tyler-moore-fascinating-facts-about-the-tv-and-film-star">alongside Mary Tyler Moore</a> in CBS’ <em>The Mary Tyler Moore</em> Show in 1970. Asner played Lou Grant, a veteran journalist, who served as the news director of the fictional WJM-TV in Minneapolis. Grant usually served as the straight man to Moore’s Mary Richard’s and her TV co-workers but would show that he cared for his colleagues on many occasions.</p><p>Ed Asner earned critical acclaim for his role as Grant and earned three Emmy awards for his performance during the show’s seven-season run. The character actually proved to be so popular that after <em>TMTMS</em> ended its run in 1977, Asner was tapped to headline the spinoff series <em>Lou Grant</em>. While its predecessor was a half-hour sitcom, <em>Lou Grant</em> was an hour-long drama that tackled the issues of the day. Asner would achieve even more recognition, with an additional two Emmy wins. With these wins, he’s only one of two actors (the other <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2569220/uzo-aduba-what-to-watch-if-you-love-the-orange-is-the-new-black-star" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2569220/uzo-aduba-what-to-watch-if-you-love-the-orange-is-the-new-black-star">being Uzo Aduba</a>) to win comedy and drama Emmys for playing the same character.</p><p>In the years following his time as Lou Grant, Ed Asner continued to work consistently. During the later years in which he played Grant, he starred in the short-lived series <em>Rich Man, Poor Man</em> and the acclaimed miniseries <em>Roots</em>, both of which earned him Emmy wins. Throughout the next few decades, he also guest starred in various shows like <em>Mad About You</em>, <em>The X-Files</em> and <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2564312/cobra-kai-actor-thought-their-role-was-a-one-and-done-before-season-3-return" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2564312/cobra-kai-actor-thought-their-role-was-a-one-and-done-before-season-3-return">even Netflix's <em>Cobra Kai</em></a>.
