Cougar Town is one of the funniest comedies on television yet many people aren't watching. Why? Because of one mistake, that the creator, Bill Lawrence, will regret to his dying day - naming the show "Cougar Town". The original concept of Courtney Cox as a cougar was changed before the first season was half way over, but it was too late to change the public's perception.
Cougar Town is NOT a show about Cougars. It is a show about adult friends drinking wine and being funny. Picture Friends, a little older, with Scrubs mentality.
I saw the Cougar Town cast speak at a Panel at the Paley Center for Media NY the other day and I didn't stop laughing the entire time. Two episodes from the new season were shown and they were excellent. Cougar Town just continues to get better and better. My husband, who had not watched before because of the whole "cougar" mentality, has now become a fan after the Paley Center episodes.
How could anyone not love Cougar Town with this amazing cast:
- Courtney Cox - Monica in Friends!!!!
- Christa Miller - Jordan in Scrubs
- Busy Philipps - Kim in Freaks and Geeks
- Brian Van Holt - Butchie in John From Cincinnati
- Dan Byrd - Brandon in Easy A
- Ian Gomez - Javier in Felicity
- Josh Hopkins - Roger in Swingtown
If you are a fan of Sarah Chalke of Scrubs and Ted's girlfriend on How I Met Your Mother, you'll definitely want to tune into Cougar Town this season. And while Sarah will have a big role on the show, don't be surprised to see many cameo appearances by some of your favorite Scrubs alumni.
So what will you get from watching the new season of Cougar Town beginning tomorrow night, February 14th on ABC? You will have fun watching likable funny characters and you will laugh, a lot!
