We first saw a promo spot for TBS's new show My Boys last night. The premise: Single girl has only guys for best friends; hilarity ensues. It's a storyline we're nearly certain that even Metro dating columnist Julia Allison passed on. The show premieres tonight, which gives NYT ad man Stuart Elliot the timely opportunity to explain why we'll soon be able to replace Emily's Reasons Why Not as the punchline for shows that get quickly canceled.

It's all thanks to a "match" made in advertising heaven. (Forgive us that one pun.) Dating site Match.com – which is like MySpace, but with fewer hookups and a monthly fee, and owned by new CollegeHumor.com overlord Barry Diller/InterActiveCorp – has signed on for a cool $1 or $2 million to appear in all promo material about the show and, most importantly, be featured in each of the season's 13 episodes with promiment placement in two. Which means plenty of plotlines where main character PJ Franklin, a lady Chicago sportswriter, tries to find love in the bottomless pit of Craigslist missed connections that is the Internet — all of which will ultimately result in programming that doesn't have half the comedic value of Dateline's "To Catch A Predator."

Did you hear? Katie Couric's first night hosting CBS Evening News is tonight. Just in case you have been living under a bomb shelter and missed the past year's worth of coverage on this topic, here's your last chance to read about all the things people are hoping, guessing, and planning for Katie's big day.

What's left when the Couric hype clears? [USA Today]

Oh, USA Today. You so crazy. If we've learned nothing since the rumors of Katie leaving the Today show began, we've learned that the hype over Couric will never, ever clear.

It's official, folks. CBS is waving goodbye to Dan Rather after 44 years, and Sean McManus, president of CBS, made the announcement.

“Of all the famous names associated with CBS News, the biggest and brightest on the marquee are Murrow, Cronkite and Rather,” McManus said. “With the utmost respect, we mark the extraordinary and singular role Dan has played in writing the script of not only CBS News, but of broadcast journalism."

Basically, it's because Rather said certain things during the presidential election, such as "hotter than a Times Square Rolex" and "It don't mean a thing if they don't get those swings." Ok, ok, it's because Anderson Cooper and Katie Couric are pushing the old guy out.

Look for him next season co-hosting GMA with Diane Sawyer.

Yesterday, Bob Woodruff, who is still being referred to in the present tense as "ABC News anchor" visited his old New York studio for the first time since being injured during a bombing in Iraq on January 29 of this year.

Woodruff surprised his coworkers (former coworkers?) with the visit, and was greeting by lots of cheering and clapping and warm embraces.

"You could literally see the emotion in each hug. There was barely a dry eye."

Woodruff talked about his rehabilitation, how he wanted to get back to work and how wonderful it was to spend time with his four children, Banner wrote.

"There are a lot of happy faces around the newsroom today," he said.

The joyous tale ends like this:

He was World News Tonight co-anchor with Elizabeth Vargas at the time of his injury, and Charles Gibson is now the sole anchor of the broadcast.

Maybe instead of being greeting with pictures of rainbows and stuffed bunnies and sunshine, he would have preferred ABC greeting him with a job? Hmm. Maybe Elizabeth Vargas needs a manny?

Maybe you've already heard about Anderson Cooper and his wonderful experience in the mancage. But, you haven't heard about Tucker Carlson bringing the topic back to his favorite subject (sex), Bill O'Reilly profess his fear of X-Men, or Glen Beck fret over his testicles.

Thanks to Intern Wendy, who won't sleep until every cable newscaster has been stalked to the fullest, we have your very delectable cable quotables of the week.

To introduce this week's installment of Cable Quotables, we would like to use a quote from our hard at work cable watcher, Intern Wendy. "If Tucker Carlson's show ever gets cancelled, I don't know what I'll do."

Oh, Wendy, we couldn't agree more. All we know is that we hope Rebecca Dana is reading and Jon Friedman is inspired to write another "why bloggers laugh at everyone else" column.
