Cougar Town replaces canceled Work It
Courteney Cox will get a whole lot of love from ABC for Valentine's Day.
The third season of Cox's comedy Cougar Town will premiere on February 14 at 8:30 p.m. -- in place of the network's ill-fated cross-dressing comedy Work It.
Though Cougar Town had not yet received a season-premiere date as of late last week, the series' executive producer, Bill Lawrence, hinted at the scheduling move Friday night, tweeting, Hoping CT's premiere date will be announced Tuesday. Fingers crossed...
Work It lasted just two episodes before ABC pulled the plug. Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender groups ripped it before it even aired, saying it would hurt transgender people.
On the Cougar Town premiere -- dubbed Ain't Love Strange -- Cox's character, Jules, becomes angered when her neighbor Grayson, working under an ulterior motive, calls her predictable, while Ellie (Christa Miller) worries that her son Stan could be developing into a devil child.
