TV Season- Series Premier- Cougar Town

Another ABC comedy, Cougar Town, was one I was looking forward to also. And it was OK. While not nearly as fully realized, or as funny as Modern Family, it still could get better, there is a lot of potential.

Starring the amazingly good looking 45-year-old Courtney Cox, playing a 40 year old newly divorced mother, Jules Cobb. But she is having a tough time, feeling lonely and older, even with her thriving real estate business. So, she decides to get in the game, and at the urging of a younger friend, goes on the prowl, as only a cougar can do.

The show is a little over the top, with Cox sometimes being too loud and hysterical. But the show has some nice comedic moments, and Cox is easy on the eyes, and easy to like. Travis Cobb is quite likable also, as Jules' 17-year-old son, embarrassed by his mom. I really liked his work in Aliens in America a couple of seasons ago.

If Cox can modulate her character just a bit, this show has a real chance to be funny long term. As it is, I will be tuning in for awhile...again, she is easy on the eyes, and has a lot of scenes showing off her body...And isn't that what TV is really all about?
