TBS Rescues ‘Cougar Town’

Cable net orders 15 episodes of Courteney Cox comedy

After being unceremoniously dumped by ABC, Cougar Town has been fetched from the ashes by cable network TBS.

The Turner network ordered a fourth season of 15 episodes, with an eye toward a premiere in early 2013. In addition to the new batch, TBS has also picked up the off-network rights to the 61 episodes that were shot for ABC.

Cougar Town is a smart, whimsical sitcom that draws its humor from likable, relatable characters,” said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies, by way of announcing the acquisition.
