'Cougar Town' returns: Now on TBS, still without cougars

"Cougar Town" returns to television tonight, not on ABC, where it was born in 2009, but on TBS, which acquired it after ABC (whose ABC Studios remains involved) decided that 3 million viewers and change was not enough to be going on with. And that is a lesson in the economics of broadcast network television.
