Cougar Town: 40 ist das neue 20

Just rewatched the series and really enjoyed it. Funny, smart, and plenty of heartfelt moments. They do drink a lot of wine, but they have some great ideas and conversations while doing it. I have to admit that plenty of the episodes had me tearing up as well. Can't be compared with friends, but why should you?

Currently watching this on Netflix and have now watched season 1 and half way through season 2 It has its moments, not hysterically funny, more amusing, a gentle watch you could drop into anytime A collection of mainly middle aged friends, middle class living in a quiet cul de sac in a posh part of Florida Every episode seems to consist of the same thing. Courtney Cox tries to look hot and she does. Busy ( or should that be Busty) Phillips shows plenty of cleavage. Courtney's character, Jules, drinks wine, lots of it Jules wears about 5 different outfits per show and never wears the same thing twice, ever.

Best character is the ditzy and vulnerable Laurie (Busy Phillips) who has some wonderful one liners. The love/hate relationship with Jules best friend Ellie and Laurie, is the funniest part of the show.

Every episode is the title of a Tom Petty song

Worth watching but hopefully it will progress beyond the same premise

Well, I see no one else likes it. Oh well. I think its hilarious. Maybe a little much for basic television, but on cable it would be awesome. I think it's really funny. I don't think it's offensive at all. Just because we don't feel like we relate to a character doesn't mean that they are offensive. I'm from Texas. Have you ever seen how they portray us on television. They act like we are all how do I put this, "Big ol' country bumpkins that say ya'll every other word and wear cowboy hats and belt buckles as large as our state, and that every word we say has to have some southern twang to it". It's a television show. It's funny. For once can we just let one show survive at least one season. I've already lost Lipstick Jungle and Samantha Who.

For fans of Bill Lawrence (scrubs, spin city etc) this is another brilliant comedy that is goofy and light hearted but filled with heartfelt moments.

This is an underrated and under appreciated series, partly (as the writers have acknowledged themselves) due to the name. The initial premise of the show changes quite quickly in season 1 and stays this way until the end.

The casting and performances are spot on

It's like watching a bunch of friends, and I will miss them now it's over. There is something here for everyone (I'm a mid 30s fella).

Give it a chance, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Cougar town may be a chick show but that doesn't change the fact that it's still really good. It's 22 minutes of irrational normalcy that is somewhat believable but extreme. Some people may think it's too far fetched but everybody knows at least one person who is always the "dramatic attention seeking type". So I buy the craziness and I can even relate to a lot of their issues. In fact I wish I had such a tight knit crazy group of friends like they have. It looks like fun.

Aside from the craziness, the episodes focus on real life issues but with a comedic edge. It's not without its flaws but overall Cougar Town is really entertaining.
