Show 10.

Cougar Town


Starring Courtney Cox, Christa Miller, Busy Phillips, Dan Byrd...


Courtney Cox plays Jules Cobb, a recently divorced mother who has started dating again. Residing in an archetypal suburb, aptly named 'Cougar Town' in the state of Florida, Cobb and her friends are obsessed with looking younger and they are focused on Jules's dry sex life. The supporting cast that includes Scrubs' Christa Miller really help to flesh out the stories running throughout the series. The underlying sexual tension between Jules and neighbour Grayson (Josh Hopkins) throughout all the episodes is a great series arc. This comedy is smart, funny and an interesting insight into the slightly outdated concept of 'cougars', what it loses in up to date terminology it more than makes up for in wit and clever scripting. This show is definitely worth a watch and if you stick with it, you'll see a damn fine Courtney Cox doing something that comes surprisingly close and occasionally surpasses her portrayal of Monica Geller in 'Friends'.
