Cast and characters

Main article: Characters of Cougar Town

The series features seven main cast members, with other characters recurring.

Main

  • Courteney Cox portrays Jules Cobb, a recently divorced single mother exploring the truths about dating and aging. Jules spent her 20s raising a child and married to Bobby. She tried to relive her 20s and make up for lost time by dating younger men, but has since come to terms with the limitations of her age and has had relationships with men her age. She resides in a small town in Florida and is a real estate agent who is successful in business. Even though she has been out of the dating world for a while, Jules decides to find love again while living with her teenage son.[9]
  • Christa Miller portrays Ellie Torres, Jules' next door neighbor and best friend. Ellie is married to Andy Torres, and the two have a son named Stan. She is the sarcastic, unapologetic confidante who is often the jealous antagonist of Jules' young assistant and friend, Laurie. She also loves to gossip but feels that Jules' new lifestyle is coming between their friendship.[10]
  • Busy Philipps portrays Laurie Keller, Jules' young feisty employee who is known for her fun-loving personality. Laurie works with Jules in the same real estate office, as her assistant. She encourages Jules to get out and have some fun and tries to reacquaint her to the world of dating. She considers herself Jules' best friend, although Jules' true best friend Ellie is often jealous of their friendship. After a seemingly endless string of short-lived boyfriends and one-night stands, later episodes have her enjoying spending most of her time with a boyfriend named Smith.[11]
  • Brian Van Holt portrays Bobby Cobb, Jules' unemployed ex-husband who currently lives on his boat in a parking lot, which makes him legally homeless. Bobby is a classic under-achiever who'll test Jules' patience as they attempt to raise their teenage son, Travis. He spent most of their marriage touring as an unsuccessful golfer, and now spends his time cutting the grass at his son's high school or giving golf lessons. His only means of transportation is a well-worn golf cart. He always refers to Jules as "J-Bird".[12]
  • Dan Byrd portrays Travis Cobb, Jules' 18-year old son. He loves both of his parents although is constantly embarrassed by both of them. At school, he constantly deals with humiliation from his friends and classmates. He is generally supportive of his mother, but feels that her dating exploits cause him embarrassment. After dealing with his mom's real estate ads around town and his dad's new job as his school's grass cutter, his father helps him realize not to worry about what other people think.[13]
  • Ian Gomez portrays Andy Torres, Ellie's husband who is also Jules' next door neighbor. Andy is a devoted husband to Ellie and also a loving father to their son, Stan. He loves his coffee. He and Jules' ex-husband Bobby were best friends before the divorce, and Andy still spends a lot of time with Bobby.[14]
  • Josh Hopkins portrays Grayson Ellis, a bar owner, and Jules' other neighbor. Grayson enjoys dating younger women and rubbing it in Jules' face. Grayson, like Jules, is also newly divorced, but unlike Jules, he embraces his bachelor and single lifestyle. However, he revealed that he wanted to have kids but his wife didn't want to have children with him, a fact that becomes more painful when he learns that she and the man she left Grayson for are now expecting a child.[15] He unintentionally revealed his interest in Jules to Bobby and Andy at Thanksgiving. In Episode 21, "Letting You Go," Grayson comforts Jules as she deals with the prospect of Travis leaving for college, and the pair finally kiss. The next episode begins with the pair waking up in bed together. For this episode, they consider the notion of "friends with benefits" before deciding that they want more and finally begin officially dating.

Recurring

  • Carolyn Hennesy portrays Barb Coman, a man-hungry older cougar who works in real estate along side Jules. She usually appears briefly to deliver a lascivious one-liner. As Jules observes in one episode[16], "do you just follow me around, waiting to say things?"
  • Spencer Locke portrays Kylie, Travis' girlfriend. Travis loses his virginity to Kylie, but the two later break up after they both cheat on each other (though only by kissing other people). The couple later reconciles.[17]
  • Ryan Devlin portrays Smith Frank, a young lawyer and Laurie's boyfriend.

Guest stars and previous cast members

  • Scott Foley portrayed Jeff, a man in his thirties who seeks to buy a house from Jules and ends up in a relationship with her. As with her relationship with Josh, the relationship ended when things become too serious for Jules who is enjoying her independence and not looking for anything serious.
  • Nick Zano portrayed Josh, a younger man who had dated Jules, but who she felt wanted a more serious relationship than her. Later Jules decided to break up with him due to his desire for a serious relationship. The actor Nick Zano left the show due to his offer on Melrose Place.
  • Lisa Kudrow portrayed Dr. Amy Evans a mean dermatologist who will briefly date Bobby.
  • Sheryl Crow portrayed Grayson's girlfriend Sara, his only age-appropriate girlfriend before Jules.

Synopsis

The first season premiere episode shows Jules while she examines her naked body in the mirror for signs of aging. Jules, now divorced from her husband Bobby, tries to re-enter the dating world and relate to her young assistant Laurie. Jules' best friend and neighbor Ellie, tries to prevent her from going out while her son is constantly being embarrassed by both of his parents. Jules begins dating Josh (Nick Zano). Jules' relationship with Josh ends when he tells her that he loves her and Jules does not feel the same way. Later Jules begins a relationship with Jeff (Scott Foley) a client who infuriates Jules with his indecision. Her relationship with Jeff ends when the relationship becomes too serious for Jules who is not looking for anything too serious so soon after her divorce, whereas Jeff is ready to settle down as he has being 'playing the field' for a long time. After her relationship with Jeff ends, Jules falls into bed with ex-husband, Bobby (Brian Van Holt). This causes Bobby's feelings for Jules to stir even more and he later tells her that he wants her back. Jules, however, tells him that she loves him but 'not that way anymore' and that their happy ending is them as friends, raising their son, Travis (Dan Byrd) together. Toward the end of the season, the simmering feelings between Jules and neighbor Grayson (Josh Hopkins) boil to the surface, and the two begin a relationship.

Production

Conception

Cougar Town was created by Bill Lawrence and Kevin Biegel. Following the cancellation of Dirt, Courteney Cox wanted to return to television and do another comedy.[18] Lawrence, who is best known as the creator of Scrubs and Spin City, was approached by Cox about "wanting to do something."[18] While developing the concept of the show, Lawrence thought he would do a tryout with Cox on Scrubs,[19] by guest-starring in the first three episodes of the eighth season.[20] He wanted to see what it was like to work together (who thought that she was an easy and fun person to work with) and decided to go from there.[19] Lawrence and Biegel, who worked together writing episode on Scrubs, came up with the concept of the show with Cox as a 40-year-old, newly single woman because he thought that it was a real "zeitgeist-y topic."[20] He drew inspiration from his real-life wife, actress Christa Miller who also stars in the show as Ellie;[20][21] Miller had previously worked with Cox as part of the story-arc of the three part Scrubs try-out. Lawrence told Cox that the show could be "high-risk, high-reward," although Cox decided to go for it.[19] He added, "I rarely have this much trepidation because usually the only person I could let down is myself. I want to make it work for her."[19] In addition, Lawrence was also a staff writer on Friends during the show's first season.[20]

Before he pitched the idea to ABC, other titles for the show included 40 and Single and The Courteney Cox Show,[22] which was eventually named Cougar Town because Lawrence thought that "the title is noisy and that people will be aware of this show."[19] He felt that the risk of the title was that the audience wouldn't watch it because people would say "...the title bums me," commenting: "it's a risky roll of the dice ... We don't call women "cougars" in it. We certainly don't use the word beyond the unbelievably big cheat that the high school mascot is a cougar."[19] Lawrence believed that with the subsequent scripts they'd be doing and the re-shoots in the pilot, the show would be "creatively satisfying."[19] After he pitched the idea to ABC, they asked him to have a pilot ready to shoot by the end of January 2009.[20] Lawrence and Biegel together wrote the script with Lawrence, who has written and directed many episodes on Scrubs, directing the episode.[23] In casting beyond Cox, Lawrence created the character of Ellie for his wife, Christa Miller. Miller felt that her character started off "gleefully" and that her husband would write down little things that she would say, in which she believes is the reason her character "came out of that."[19]

Filming

The series takes place at the fictional town of Gulf Haven in Sarasota County, Florida ,[24] although it is filmed at Culver Studios in Culver City, California .[6] The pilot episode was directed and written by Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, who is married to Scrubs and Cougar Town star Christa Miller. Lawrence serves as executive producer/writer/director, Kevin Biegel as writer/co-executive producer, and Courteney Cox and David Arquette are executive producers. It is produced by Doozer Productions and Coquette Productions (headed by Cox and her husband David Arquette) and is from ABC Studios. The sitcom is filmed in the single-camera format. Cox filmed the pilot on March 19, 2009.[25]

Crew

In addition to having created the series, Bill Lawrence is the show runner, head writer, and the executive producer.[26] Courteney Cox, who also stars on the show, serves as executive producer alongside Lawrence.[26] Lawrence, the executive producer, show runner, head writer and creator of Scrubs, co-wrote and directed the pilot and wrote the second episode. He has written for other shows that include, Friends, The Nanny, and Boy Meets World as well as co-created Spin City. Kevin Biegel, co-creator, has also written episode for Scrubs. He wrote 7 episodes on Scrubs and wrote the pilot script with Lawrence.

Music

The original theme and music for Cougar Town is composed by singer-songwriter WAZ and the production team Golden-Sgro.[27] Bill Lawrence stated; "As a show composer WAZ brings something incredibly special. He has the ability to make score music sound current, like it was just lifted off the radio, and yet, it still services the show perfectly ... As a group we're confident that WAZ will be the next singer/songwriter that we try to claim credit for. He's that good."[27] Songs such as, Phoenix's "Lisztomania," Foghat's "Slow Ride," and La Roux's "Bulletproof (Remix)" were all used in the pilot episode.[27] In the second episode, Beyoncé Knowles's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and Keren DeBerg's "Today" as well as "Tell Me" were used on the show.[27]

Opening sequence

Cougar Town's opening sequence features a map of Florida showing Sarasota County, Florida.[28] The title sequence zooms in from the outline of Florida to show Sarasota with a "Welcome to Cougar Town" sign.[28] The producers wanted something different for the setting of the show and decided to include a map of the show's setting in the sequence, commenting: "Everyone's in New York or Los Angeles. I think there's a lot of fun to be had in that area and with those characters."[24] Jeanne Corcoran, the director of the Sarasota County Film commission, spoke to the show's production assistants to be able to use the locality as the setting as well as including it on the opening sequence.[28]

Episode format

All of the episodes have been named after songs by Tom Petty who happens to be from Florida. In one episode Jules describes Josh as among the top 10-15 people she has met, which includes "Tom Petty and Colonel Sanders".

Potential name change

In May 2010, it was reported that the show's producers were considering a name change because the plot had strayed so far from its initial premise. Also, research showed that many viewers who ignored the show based on its name actually enjoyed it after seeing a screening of an episode.[29]

Reception

In the USA the audience dropped from 11 million to 6 million over the 14 episode run. In Australia the audience dropped from 1.3 to 1 million in one week after the chief executive of the Australian channel showing it described it as a 'shit show' that he could get large audiences for, by promoting it.[30] In late April 2010, Cougar Town was canned in Australia[citation needed] due to poor ratings; 10 episodes had been run.

Critical reception

Metacritic gave the series 49 out of 100 based on the pilot episode, from the 21 reviews it collected, and a user score of 4.5 out of 10 based on 46 votes.[35] Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave the pilot episode a B, commenting that the show mixes "clinical realism (when did you last hear a C-section scar used as a punchline?) with ridiculous slang (a new boob job is referred to as gorilla heads), Cougar Town is so brashly vulgar, it's endearing."[36] Tucker also stated that it "is so single-minded that this obsession itself becomes funny."[36] Variety stated that the show "does feed into the dual sense of insecurity and self-empowerment that women harbor about getting older ... though, the execution here is consistently about as subtle as a kick to the groin."[37] Los Angeles Times' Mary McNamara said that the "maddening thing about Cougar Town is that it isn't completely unfunny or uncharming."[38] Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger feels that "Cougar Town is still finding itself, but it's already much better than the title would suggest [...] the show "has to walk a very careful line between making fun of the cougar concept and embracing it" although based on the two episodes "Cougar Town is self-aware enough to pull that off."[39] USA Today was also favourable saying that the show has "the right cast and good writing."[40]

Many critics have speculated that show will only have a narrow target audience: older women; with Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times stating that the show's "plot description alone could drive away male viewers"[41] while the Los Angeles Times' Mary McNamara opined that it "is fun and exciting for women over 40."[38] Despite speculation, the show has done well with young males[42] and young adults in all key demographics.[43]

In contrast, Jezebel disapproved stating, "It's clichéd, it's lame, it's undignified. It smacks of predatory desperation."[44] Ryan Brockington of New York Post compared the show to Samantha Who?.[45] The Daily News' David Hinckley opined that the show is "a waste of Cox's comic talents."[46] In the The Irish Times Kate Holmquist writes that "Cox is both a symbol and a red light warning for everything that is wrong with the Hollywood portrayal of middle-aged women, who are rarely wise or strong or naturally aged" and states that she is "the female version of the pervert in a dirty raincoat".[47]
