    I like Cougar Town. Sometimes I even love it. Great characters, great chemistry. But sometimes, especially last season, the writers got too wrapped up in gimmicks like penny can, instead of the real relationships between their characters. Don't get me wrong, Penny Can was great, then they overdid it and ruined it. At least for me. This first episode of season three promises to get us back to stories about the characters. The first ten minutes fell a little flat for me, but it picked up from there. I'm definitely going to keep watching.… Expand

    I quite liked the first 2 seasons of this show but now it is starting to wear thin. Ellie's meanness used to be amusing but now it just feels nasty and desperate. Jules' quirky sweetness used to be endearing and entertaining but now it just feels forced. On top of this - Christa Miller and Courtney Cox's faces can't make expressions anymore. I find myself facially emoting while I am watching them - like I am subconsciously willing their stone masks into some kind of animation. It was fun for a while but now I'll be moving on.… Expand

    This is the best season of the show so far. For anyone still not watching please get on board. Lawrence and his team have crafted a gem of a show that encompasses everything about daily life into a sitcom. The characters are fun and lovable, and with both guy and girl dynamics it appeals to everyone. Forget the title and keep enjoying the best writing on TV.

    So far, the show is great. What can i say? If you loved the show from the very first episode (or two), you DEFINITELY won't be disappointed!

    This is the worst season yet for me. It lacks the quick wit of the first two seasons, and has been just downright awful. Still, it is better than most sitcoms out there, and I have faith its next season will be better than this one.

    This is definitely one of the best sitcoms i have watched recently. Their first season got off with a shaky start due to the slight controversy of it's title. But if you just get past that, you will find yourself watching a tv show about friendship through every situation and loving these hilarious, well balanced and dynamic characters. Every single one of this characters has their own role on the show, and each adds a different twist with their own specific humours, that somehow manages to appeal to everyone. I strongly recommend it, it's abnormally funny. I just wish i had these kind of friends!… Expand

    Terrible show. There is no sense of humor and there is no proper story involved. The writers have to think about a good story and progress in the proper direction. Try HIMYM, or BigBang Theory.

    There's times of joy but, in the big picture, Cougar Town lacks of good - or even medium - writing. There is no development of characters or plots in this season, leaving it with just a boring scenario of jokes and situations.

    Cox remains a very engaging lead, and her supporting cast is rock solid.

    Witty and wacky--but emphasizing the wacky above all--this sharp-tongued, sweet-souled sitcom picks up without losing a (heart)beat.

    Cougar Town returns with its wit, silliness and good-heartedness fully intact.
