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.
Cougartown, as a whole, is my favorite new show this season.
Jules (Cox) is a divorced mom who lives next door to her best friend (Krista Miller), and sells real estate with her other best friend (Busy Phillips). She married young, so is just now testing her wings in the dating world and it happens to be with a younger man. Her best friends can't stand each other, but love her and are a good support system in helping her navigate this strange new world. The dialogue between the best friends is snarkiness at it's best.
Courtney Cox is brilliantly funny - I always thought she did comedy better than drama and this is a much better vehicle for her than Dirt, IMO.
In addition to our star, the show has an excellent supporting cast - Krista Miller rocks, as usual, Busy Phillips is a hoot - loved her in Freaks and Geeks, Dan Byrd (her son) is a breath of fresh air, and the rest of the men are not only hilarious, but delicious eye candy.
The writers are genius and I just hope that they can continue with this high level of hilarity through-out the season.
I can't imagine any woman 30+ who isn't going to identify with Jules & her friends.
If you haven't given it a shot, yet, I hope you make the time to do so.
