Laff Fall 2024 Schedule with The Conners and Bob ♥ Abishola; CBS' Comfy Blue Sofa Tour

The Conners

Laff has added two new sitcoms to its comedy line-up this fall. The Conners is airing weeknights at 11pm & 11:30pm, while Bob ♥ Abishola airs weekday afternoons at 1pm & 1:30pm. They are not getting the two-hour treatment as some of their biggest hits like Last Man Standing, Home Improvement and That '70s Show. Other sitcoms on weekdays still airing (in one-hour blocks) are According to Jim, Man with a Plan, Grounded for Life and ALF. Matthew Perry's The Odd Couple is off the schedule and The Millers has moved to Sundays only. Both The Conners and Bob ♥ Abishola entered syndication this fall as well.


Comfy Blue Sofa Tour

CBS Premiere Week begins Sunday, Oct. 13 with hit series Tracker. And CBS launched its Comfy Blue Sofa Tour, an innovative and inviting way to connect with fans across the country and to celebrate the Network's imminent rollout of new - and returning-favorite - dramas, comedies and reality series. Nodding to the Network's iconic blue hue, the tour is a symbol of the comfort, joy and simple satisfaction that CBS brings into people's homes with its popular shows.

CBS' Comfy Blue Sofa Tour, in partnership with home furnishing and technology brand Lovesac, debuted with a "sit-and-repeat" press line at last night's "You're Laughing at CBS: A Night of Sit-Down Comedy" event at NeueHouse in L.A. Set to hit the road through Oct. 12 (the eve of CBS Premiere Week), CBS and Lovesac are bringing friends and families together in celebration of the CBS fall season. Along the tour, CBS is inviting fans to join them on the "Comfy Blue Sofa," otherwise known as the beloved Lovesac Sactionals, for sneak peeks of upcoming CBS shows, meet-and-greets with stars at select locations, memorable photo opportunities and giveaways. Wherever audiences see the Comfy Blue Sofa, it's a signal that CBS Premiere Week is close.

In addition to the regular-sized comfy sofas at the various tour stops, CBS is dispatching a gigantic (20 ft. long, 8 ft. high), eye-catching sofa, serving as a marquee for the Comfy Blue Sofa Tour. It will be visible as it travels on highways and through cities, towns, bodies of water and country roads across the U.S. (stopping at festivals, events and landmarks) to remind fans that the Network's "comfort TV" is just around the corner. The comfy blue sofas will also find their way onto the sets of popular CBS shows to reinforce the signal that CBS Fall is about to begin. CBS' social posts on Threads (@CBS) and Instagram Stories (@CBSTV) will alert fans to the fun, easy and unexpected places the tour will stop throughout the campaign.
