Conan Is Coming Back To TV... on TBS

The long wait is over. Right on the day that Conan O'Brien starts his cross-country tour in Oregon comes this rather large announcement: Conan is coming back to TV this November! But if you're thinking that he's going to do a late night show on FOX, you'd be mistaken. Instead, think "Very Funny."Joe Adalian at TheWrap.com (and Conan himself on Twitter) confirm that he's going to do a late night show on TBS. This is rather interesting, because everyone assumed that FOX would be the place that Conan would want to go to because they're the last "big" network where he could have a late night show. CBS and NBC already have something and while ABC was sorta mentioned in the mix, they're happy with 'Nightline' and 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'
TBS is turning a tagline into The Very Funny Show

"Very Funny" has been a tagline at TBS for a little while now. It's there to clarify for us that The Bill Engvall Show and Tyler Perry's shows are funny. And I'm glad they did, because I've caught snippets of both House of Payne and Meet the Browns and I swear I would have had no idea they were funny if TBS hadn't told me. That's a public service well appreciated.Now they're taking this one step further. TBS' The Very Funny Show will feature stand-up comedians being funny. And not just funny, but very funny. Tim Meadows who was the very funny on Saturday Night Live is pegged to host. And by very funny I mean that he was there for a long time. Actually, Tim can be funny in a stand-up environment, so he may do alright here. All of the footage for the November-bowing series will be filmed at a July event called "TBS Presents a Very Funny Festival: Just For Laughs." So at least the comedians on the very funny show will come from this very funny festival meaning it will be very, very funny. Right?
10 Items Or Less -- an early look

The label on the advance DVD copy of the new TBS sitcom 10 Items Or Less has the network's catch phrase on it: "Very Funny." I should sue them for false advertising. They should at least put a little asterisk next to it and a note at the bottom that says "Results may vary" or "Funny not included."
What is this show about? It's about 20 minutes too long (thank you folks, I'm here all week! Ba-ding bang!). Actually, it's about a guy who moves back to his Ohio hometown after his dad dies and takes over the family supermarket business. That's a great set up for a comedy, with a lot of areas for comedy, and I was really, really looking forward to this, but to quote Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda, "Disappointed!"
