--> Here's your chance to bring home the
hottest single mom in town! Golden Globe nominee* Courteney Cox
(Friends) stars in the hilariously sexy hit comedy Cougar Town:
The Complete First Season.
After spending the last seventeen years as a wife and mother,
recently divorced Jules (Cox) has reluctantly waded back into the
dating pool and quickly finds herself in over her head. Now
forty-something and single, Jules tackles real-life issues -
dating, parenting and friendship. It doesn't help Jules that her
two best friends can hardly stand each other, her ex-husband is
hanging around more now than he did during their marriage...and
there's that handsome divorced neighbor that Jules can't quite
get out of her head.
Created by Kevin Biegel and Bill Lawrence (Scrubs), Cougar Town
is packed with laugh-out-loud moments and features a cast of
television's brightest comedic stars. Cougar Town: The Complete
First Season struts its stuff in this DVD collection, along with
exclusive bonus features and one or two special surprises. Cougar
Town - it's more than a place, it's a state of mind.

----
Though Courteney Cox followed Friends with FX's deeply
cynical Dirt, she returns to her comedy roots with ABC's far
sunnier Cougar Town. Created by Kevin Biegel and Bill Lawrence of
Scrubs, the sitcom centers on 41-year-old Jules Cobb, a divorced
real estate agent who lives in the Florida suburbs with her
18-year-old son Travis (Dan Byrd, from CW's underrated Aliens in
America), who finds his excitable parents embarrassing. With her
form-fitting dresses and sassy gal pals, party girl Laurie (Busy
Philipps, Dawson's Creek) and bossy mom Ellie (Christa Miller,
playing a variation on her Scrubs harpy), Jules is more Desperate
Housewife than Friend, and even starts the show by having a fling
with a young hottie, though she's just as much of a perfectionist
as Monica. If Cougar Town revolves around women (and wine), the
men--Cobb's lovable loser ex Bobby (Brian Van Holt), Ellie's
goofball husband Andy (Ian Gomez, The Drew Carey Show), and bar
owner Grayson (Ally McBeal's Josh Hopkins, the Mike to her
Susan)--get plenty of face time.
The series proved a bigger hit than Dirt, but it gets off to a
bumpy start with shrill acting, lines that skew more crude than
clever, and an uny relation to body image, like the way
Jules licks chocolates before throwing them away. Fortunately,
the writing improves, the actors settle down, and chemistry of
the "cul-de-sac crew" gels as the year unfurls. Renewed for a
second season, the first features Lisa Kudrow as a catty
dermatologist, Sheryl Crow as Grayson's age-appropriate
girlfriend, and scene-stealing General Hospital vet Carolyn
Hennesy as Barb. Don't let the title fool you, this is one sex
comedy that prizes community building over bed hopping. As
Lawrence states in the featurette, "No one's ever said the word
cougar on Cougar Town." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
