Sitcoms Storm the Fall Network schedules. Cougar Bite Me!

After tallying the nets' fall programming announcements, it looks like comedy is king... again.  The nets are trying to get us all laughing after a trying and not so funny fall of '08.  Ten new sitcoms will grace the net schedules featuring stars such as - Kelsey Grammer, Chevy Chase, Jenna Elfman and my personal favorite - the 'high concept' show, COUGAR TOWN, starring good old Courtney Cox. The single camera comedy (as opposed to three-camera studio based shows) is one of four new comedies to join the ABC roster this fall.  Cougar Town will explore "the honest truths about dating and aging in our beauty and youth obsessed culture," according to ABC.  Cougars are hot... but don't forget about panthers and snow leopards (the oldest of the pride - the ones with white hair)?   So that's your cat fact for the day.  Now check out the ABC trailer for Cougar Town.

Poking fun at Greenies. New ABC Animated series: The Goodes

Here's a clever animated comedy series ABC is launching in the end of May.  Perhaps it's too clever, you decide.  Pokes fun at all things green by showing a liberal suburban family trying to do all 'PC/Green things' in their world.  A funny juxtaposition of characters.  The creator is Mike Judge who brought the world Beavis and Butthead.  Must miss tv.  The promotion itself is a field day for Judge and his co-creators because they get to explain the motivation of their characters, and make you laugh.  These guys don't often get to tell the story behind the story, so it's fun to watch them reveling in their creation.  Show looks like it'll be fun to watch... at least I'll give it a try.
