"Cougar Town" Moving to TBS!

So good news on the TV front! Shows like "Community" and "Parks & Recreation" are still technically on the cusp as no official word has been said about them. However, the word is that both shows will more than likely be renewed next season, but only with half season orders. And unless a miracle arises both shows will have their final seasons next year as well. It has already been confirmed that NBC comedy champ "30 Rock" has been renewed for it's 7th and final season at a 13 episode order. I personally stopped watching 30 Rock a few months ago as it had completely lost it's way for me. The ratings for the show have slipped to an all time low averaging around 3 million viewers.

But back to the good news, assuming you are a fan of ABC's "Cougar Town" of course. It was hinted at earlier this week that the cable network TBS would pick up the show for it's fourth season should ABC cancel it. Well, this was made official today. ABC has not actually cancelled the show yet, but they won't get a chance. TBS will make Cougar Town part of their original programming next year and we will see new episodes in 2013. No matter what way you look at it, for me, this is awesome news! I have been a fan of the show since day one back when it was in it's early stages of being about cougars dating their fresh meat men and tossing them to the side. But then it developed into something completely new and different almost out of nowhere. It completely threw that story to the side and molded itself into a witty, charming, and just hilarious sitcom about a group of friends. It's like "Friends" if they were drunk on wine all the time. It has such a wonderful cast led by Courtney Cox, Christa Miller, Busy Phillips, Ian Gomez, etc. etc.

The show currently airs on ABC until it's finale on May 29th which will be one hour long and will feature guest star and show producer David Arquette. Apparently Courtney and David (who were married for quite some time if you did not know) are able to continue working together with their production company as well as acting together on this show as well as Scream 4 last year. Next week we will also get an hour's worth of new episodes. It will be off the air on the 22nd because of Dancing with the Stars.

I bet Abed will be very pleased to hear this news....
