Cougar Town - Pilot

Firstly, I love cougars. I think they are great (not Demi Moore she is a douche). I love how they go through a crappy divorce and go out and get onto 20 somethings and this is awesome becuase guys have been doing this since the beginning of time. I hope I do not get into the situation where I become a cougar but if it does happen I am going to have some fun!

I cant remember the last time I was this excited for a show since maybe The OC. To me that is saying a lot. I don't dislike Courtney Cox but I don't really like her at the same time. Busy Phillips on the other hand......she is awesome. I can imagine her giving the coolest birds and the bees talk without making it awkward. I just think she is cool and yes I do want to be her friend and I am still waiting for my invite to one of her cool dinner parties (I am pretty sure she has these but have no proof).

So the show. I believe all of the characters work individually but when they are in relationships with one another it just doesnt work. Courtney as the hot shrinking violet works but then when you see how she interacts with her son it just doesnt make sense, the awkward son at high school, the slutty best friend (work it Busy!), and the the douche ex husband (which is more like a really bad impersonation of Billy Madison)

I think the mum is meant to be this cool, hip mum (like Busy!) but she sort of comes across as the worst mum ever. Like when she is giving that random guy a BJ and the son walks in is probably the most painful scene of the whole show. I am guessing it took a while to shoot too as (like most of the show) it just doesn't seem to flow.

The son is meant to be in high school but why does he look like he is in uni studying some douche degree like sociology? And plus, where are his hot friends? Seriously the show is called COUGARTOWN

The dad is just plain confusing. Courtney worked really hard to put him through some sort of degree (lawyer or something - either one is not believeable)and then he screwed her over so now he is mowing the lawns at his "son's" school? Pick a back story and stick to it.

Busy is great. The End.

oh, and that random hot guy across the street that she flashes and fantasises over. Yes he is hot but he reminds me of Eddie Cibrian and he is a bit of a douche. I guess somewhere in the plot they sleep together and then rediscover love blah blah blah. He has no real relevance (I dont think to the show except to be "that hot guy" on the show. He is the Jesse Metcalfe with the shirt on).

I actually like this show and I really hope they find a flow and story lines that are not moronic.

P.S. Courtney, your Madonna crypt keeper arms are creepy and you need to Heidi Montag them stat!
