    Cougar Town returns with its wit, silliness and good-heartedness fully intact.
  2. If you've given Cougar Town a real shot and found that it's not for you, fair enough; but if you already love the goofy-sweet-smart flavor of this show, you'll find a lot to like about the new season.

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

    The humor is so lighthearted, the show practically skips. [20 Feb 2012, p.48]

  1. 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!
  2. 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. Expand
  3. 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

    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. Expand
