A divorced mother must face the harsh realities of dating and aging in a youth- and beauty-obsessed culture. Having spent her 20s tackling the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood, she finds that her 40s are a journey of self-discovery amid friends, family and an ex-husband who all offer advice. Members of her dysfunctional but supportive extended family, "the cul-de-sac crew," include sarcastic confidante Ellie, across-the-street neighbor Grayson, feisty protege Laurie and witty son Travis.

Critics Consensus

Cougar Town no longer resembles its inciting premise, but the pivot pays off with a series that is now funnier, kinder, and downright lovable.

Willa Paskin New York Magazine/Vulture Cougar Town may have an unfortunate name, but it has become a truly wonderful, hilarious television show that everyone who likes funny TV shows should be watching. Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Emily St. James AV Club Once you get into its loopy vibe, there are few funnier shows on TV. The touching stuff? That's just the cherry on top. Rated: A- Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix It's become one of my favorite comedies. Sep 22, 2010 Full Review Dani Bradford TV Equals Jules is a lot less forced and crazed and actually a bit funny now. The cast also seems to meld well. Maybe it is the familiarity and the knowledge that they are still on the air or maybe it is better writing, but I am enjoying the show more now. Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Jeffrey Kirkpatrick TV Fanatic If I could bottle up the feeling I get when I watch Cougar Town and sell it on the street I'd either become a millionaire, or get arrested for selling an extremely potent narcotic. Rated: 4/5 Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine What we have is a light, fast show about friends and couples who hang together, banter together and drink together. But there's a screwball brightness that's exaggerated... Cox, in particular, pounces too hard on her lines. Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Test T I watched this on DVD recently. I ended up loving season 1, so I hoped this would be just as good. The 6 episodes on disc 1 were ok but I thought the writing had taken a dip again. Courtney Cox and the gang are still fun, but the stories seem weak, like they did on disc 2 of season 1. When this happens the show regresses into sketch show mode where individual scenes are good but the episodes go nowhere with the story. Furtunately this improved as I progressed through the later episodes, with the final two part double episode set in Hawaii closing the series on a high, which I doubt will ever be surpassed. With Cougar town, the actors are superb, and are capable of handling almost anything they are asked to do. However, the script writers are less reliable, and make the difference between a good episode, and a great one. I find that the writing is always entertaining, but sometimes lacking in story depth. Overall, I enjoyed season 2 and look forward to watching season 3 soon. Highly recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Nick S Getting a bit more predictable with less originality and funny jokes but still enjoyable and watchable. I'd recommend it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 2 was funnier than season 1 with a coherent story line but the writing was still terrible, it's just not my kind of humour.
