More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Cougar Town Season 1 All Critics (32) | Top Critics (22) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (17) A title that the capable executive producer, Bill Lawrence, acknowledges might turn some people off. He needn't worry. The show itself has more than enough power to do that. Jan 10, 2019 | Full Review… Jonathan Storm Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic Cougar Town's stabs at edgy verbal humor rely on subjuvenile lines about reproductive anatomy. Sep 23, 2009 | Full Review… Troy Patterson Slate Top Critic Cougar Town is more amusing than it might sound here, with Cox's comedic timing a considerable plus. Sep 23, 2009 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Cougar Town is downright unwatchable, an agonizingly unfunny gutter-ball that will almost certainly be the first of the new season's shows to be canceled. Sep 23, 2009 | Full Review… Glenn Garvin Miami Herald Top Critic If there's anything here, it must be encoded and invisible to the naked eye. Sep 23, 2009 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic As the woebegone divorcee with an antic streak and a full-blown need to get down, Cox is not believable. Sep 23, 2009 | Rating: D | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic The show is still too inconsistent to stand with the best comedies on television and it really paled in comparison to its freshman classmates of the form last year in "Glee," "Modern Family," and "Community," but there's a lot to like here. Jan 10, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com Cox sucks you in so sweetly, who wouldn't swing along for the ride? Jan 10, 2019 | Full Review… Keith Watson Metro (UK) We know the rest of the web seems to disagree, but we really think that Cougar Town, like wine and its gorgeous star, has been getting better with age. Jan 10, 2019 | Full Review… Eric Hochberger TV Fanatic How good can a show called Cougar Town be? Well, not great at first. I didn't like the pilot much at all... [But] as I (and the writers) got to know the characters better, the show became infinitely more enjoyable. Jan 10, 2019 | Full Review… Brendan Bettinger Collider View All Critic Reviews (32) Audience Reviews for Cougar Town: Season 1 Tried to hard to make it work. Cougar Town season 1 was a disaster with stereotypical stock characters and unbelievable dialogues. Did not laugh at all for the entire duration of the season. Courtney Cox tried and failed.
