ABC has made the stupid mistake of cancelling Cougar Town, but don’t worry because the smart TBS made to decision to pick it up. Courtney Cox and her drinking buddies will move to their new cul-de-sac early next year and they have signed a two year lease with their new home.
Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) said, “Cougar Town is a smart, whimsical sitcom that draws its humor from likable, relatable characters.” Something ABC never promoted the show as. Actually they never really promoted it and that was the major problem. The other one is the show’s name. So I wonder if now that the show has a new network, if it will also get a name?
This is not the first show or person to jump from a network to the Turner cable channels, Conan O’Brien has been successful for TBS and SouthLAnd just got picked up for another season on TNT 2 seasons after NBC didn’t think it was worthy of one. So I think Cougar Town is really going to enjoy its new home and I am sure Bill Lawrence will finally get the much needed respect he deserves.
