A divorced mother must face the harsh realities of dating and aging in a youth- and beauty-obsessed culture. Having spent her 20s tackling the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood, she finds that her 40s are a journey of self-discovery amid friends, family and an ex-husband who all offer advice. Members of her dysfunctional but supportive extended family, "the cul-de-sac crew," include sarcastic confidante Ellie, across-the-street neighbor Grayson, feisty protege Laurie and witty son Travis.

Cougar Town is an open house where the wine flows freely and even Tom, the weirdest guy on the cul-de-sac will (eventually) be (provisionally) accepted. Go to Full Review Katie Heaney New York Magazine/Vulture 01/10/2019

We'll see what the Ric Swartzlander-run version of "Cougar Town" looks like, but the Biegel/Lawrence incarnation came to a splendid end. Let's drink to that. Go to Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine 01/10/2019

Test T @TestTest1 12/14/2024 I've been watching this on DVD recently, after watching the first two seasons previously. Despite having fewer episodes, I'm finding this season to be starting off very well. There is some really good writing here, creating some great comedy. Jules now has a shrink, who she takes her friends to see when they upset her, which I find a very amusing addition. There's also a delightful opening to one of the episodes where Travis allows the a capella group he befriended in Hawii to stay with Jules for a week which I thought was absolute comedy genius. One of Grayson's ex-flings is now on the scene with his infant son which also adds plenty of comedic oppotunities. Sadly, as the season reaches it's conclusion the writers choose to focus several episodes on Jules' and Grayson's wedding which weakened the entertainment value, and I was dissappointed by the final double episode. although the wedding was well presented when it finally happened. I'd still highly recommend this season although the quality of story and script is patchy in some episodes. See more Nick S @NickSpecter 02/13/2023 Still okay and watchable even though the show completely pivoted from its original premise. They do keep finding ways to keep it enjoyable however. See more 07/08/2015 Season 3 of Cougar Town was significantly better than the first two seasons, however I still find the jokes unfunny. Nicole Sullivan was a great asset to the show though. See more 04/01/2014 One of the funniest, most underrated sitcoms on TV. There's not a bad episode in season 3 and I laughed out loud multiple times each episode. See more Read all reviews
