Courteney Cox, Christa Miller and Busy Phillips are really good at what they do, especially Christa Miller. This season has found the perfect mix of emotions. This show can make you laugh and cry in the same episode! Although this is just a 30-minute show, the story is well-built in the episode, but still continues the story of the whole season. This show is really underrated.… Expand

   Cougartown helped restore my faith in TV writing and will hopefully help pave the way for the return of well-written sitcoms. Its main problemCougartown helped restore my faith in TV writing and will hopefully help pave the way for the return of well-written sitcoms. Its main problem may lie in the show's misleading title, which can detract potential viewers who understandably believe that the focus lies on the cougar concept, and whatever connotations that may invoke. The show never actually even uses the term cougar, except that it is the name of the local high school football team. While the storyline initially did feature Courtney Cox's character Jules reentering the dating scene and dating younger men, it was thankfully shelved. As it turns out, the only reference to the original concept lies with the semi-regular appearances of Barb, who mainly shows up to for a cougar-related joke and disappears.
   The show actually doesn't develop its true identity until about halfway through the first season: it is an ensemble piece in which neighbors, spouses, ex-spouses, friends, etc., most of them living on one cul-de-sac, find themselves spending so much time together that they form a unique type of family.
   As skeptical as I was initially watching the show, you truly can not help but get drawn in to this assortment of characters with their comraderie, inside jokes, rapid-wit dialogue, and collective love of wine consumption (except for the underage Travis, of course). Once again, I stress...this is a character driven show; without painstakingly describing each one, let's just say you're undoubtedly going to find the ones you want to indentify with, just like the best shows. For those who love classic sitcoms with ensembles/groups of friends (including Friends, which some say this show feels like the forty-something version of), you will find yourself unexpectedly addicted. If you own the DVD, be prepared: it is extremely difficult to just watch one episode. It's very strange that Cougartown doesn't get higher ratings. It absolutely has the all the goods and Emmy potential. Don't let the name fool you.… Expand

Funny witty, dumb at times and yet emotional and deep. The cast is really good and, at least to me, you can feel the deep friendship between the characters. The production value is great. A weekly 30 minutes of fun I don't want to miss each week! I like the fact that the show and the characters evolve from one episode to the next.
   
   Ohhh yeah... Well Courteney Cox is still hot! She is truely a nice cougar!… Expand

   Thanks to Abed for constantly joking about about this show because he is the one who got me into it. (Community fans, you know what I mean)Thanks to Abed for constantly joking about about this show because he is the one who got me into it. (Community fans, you know what I mean)
   
   I'll admit, I was one of the first people to call BS on a show called "Cougar Town". Had I stopped watching after season one I probably would've upheld that belief but I'm glad I stuck with Cougar Town after a questionable start. Lawrence and the producers realized that they should just do what made Scrubs so great. Allow to show to be as goofy as it has to be and build up so many recurring jokes that every minute of every show has a laugh or two. I just hope they don't run out of funny jokes about the title in the intro.… Expand

   There are 2 sides to this show, or rather 2 types of episodes. Type 1 is the very chick-flick-y episodes with a focus on story and emotionalThere are 2 sides to this show, or rather 2 types of episodes. Type 1 is the very chick-flick-y episodes with a focus on story and emotional crap, and very few jokes. The first season consisted almost entirely of these chick flick episodes which made they show mostly popular with women and the season pretty crap. The other type of episodes are ones that are more focused on jokes and are actually funny. The 2nd season is mostly the funny type episodes, with a few short sprees of chick flick eps, so overall its quite good, but there are some themes that are overdone, mainly *Penny Can*.… Expand
