Can Conan stay hip at TBS?
LOS ANGELES — Conan O'Brien is headed to basic cable. Will Hollywood's biggest stars follow?
For almost every talk show host, A-list guests set a program apart from its competition. Land the exclusive couch visit from George Clooney, and expect a flood of TV watchers to follow. Rivalries among the current crop of chatterers can be crazily competitive.
While hosting "The Tonight
Show" O'Brien didn't always draw strong ratings among TV's insomniacs, but he did collect a steady stream of pop culture luminaries, particularly among music acts and up-and-coming actors. With O'Brien moving from a big network to cable's TBS, his viewership could slip dramatically.
This year, TBS is No. 7 among cable networks, averaging 1.7 million prime-time viewers, according to Nielsen Co. figures.
NBC, on the other hand, may be last among the major networks.
Studio marketing executives say O'Brien won't necessarily enjoy the same priority he did on "The Tonight Show" and his previous talk show, "Late Night", but he could still be a key destination for younger, hipper performers.
but its audience is more than three times larger.
One executive says that if "The Night Show" suffered from poor lead-ins from NBC's anemic prime-time lineup, the situation will be even more dire at TBS, larded with reruns of shows such as "Seinfeld."

Alyssa Milano stars in stale new ABC sitcom
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
The list of flaws plaguing the new ABC sitcom, "Romantically Challenged," begins with its premise. Alyssa Milano plays Rebecca Thomas, a recently divorced mom who is struggling to make sense of the dating game.

Alyssa Milano, She's supposed to be "romantically challenged"? Sorry, we're not buying it.
That premise is the funniest thing about this show, which serves up only lukewarm laughs and feels derivative throughout.
In tonight's opener, Rebecca contemplates a one-night stand with a girl she just met. But she's never done such a thing, so she gets plenty of coaching from her single friends. There are the perfunctory jokes about dating and formicating — including a running gag about prison sex that runs on for too long.
