It’s taken far, far too long, but the news that COUGAR TOWN fans have been longing for has finally arrived:  the smart, quirky, hilarious ensemble comedy that isn’t about cougars of any kind has found a home on the ABC schedule, Tuesdays at 8:30PM (thank you for dying, Work It), beginning on Valentine’s Day.

Truth be told, this still isn’t ideal–Cougar Town is a lousy fit with its lead-in, the creaky Tim Allen vehicle LAST MAN STANDING, and its season order was cut from 22 episodes to 15–but we’ll take what we can get.  A little Penny Can, anyone?
