Conan to make TBS his new home...

[Cane]

Good news for Coco but if its not on HULU or some website I won't be watching the show. Busy timeslot. Hopefully Andy Richter is left in the dust since imo he hurts the show more than helps it (bring back Joel and more Max please).

Leno left and came back to the exact same show. There is a difference.

Actually, Coco was going to to keep TNS just at a later time. Leno would've had a half hour show.

Not true, actually Lopez called Conan to come to TBS. So Lopez probably didn't mind going to a later time.

It actually helps out George Lopez. Conan will provide a nice lead in for him so he should see a ratings boost.

The George Lopez show is actually not that bad. I was surprised at how entertaining it was.

Nobody in Conan's demographic watches the local news.

Daily Show and Colbert, on the other hand... but that's where DVR will come in handy.

I did think about that. Isn't/shouldn't he be trying to expand his demographic? I mean he must be somewhat interested in those people. He fought tooth and nail to keep Tonight from being bumped to 11C 12E/P just so he would HAVE local news as a lead in.

This TBS thing just seems weak. He'd have been better served, if he was jumping into the cable realm, to go with CC or HBO.

I still won't watch.

I'll check it out. Yeah, the George Lopez show ain't bad.

LOL

Conan now bumping Lopez, irony

I think he had an affinity for The Tonight Show, and there's still a larger (and broader) audience on Broadcast vs. Cable.

But in the last ten years, TV viewership has been quickly migrating to cable. I think this move is evidence of that. The ratings by program are still higher on cable, but as far as total TV viewership, the majority of time spent watching TV is now on cable.

TBS still beats Comedy Central in the ratings, and absolutely kills pay cable. Aside from FOX, I think this might be the best possible spot for him.

Damn, he's going to get half his shows bumped for ing Braves games.
