Reminds me of bananas...

There is one scene in Cougar Town that reminds me of bananas. That’s all I’ll say on the subject.

Aside from that, Cougar Town is the kind of show that can easily become a guilty pleasure. Starring Courtney Cox as Jules Cobb, a recently divorced 40-year-old, the show focuses on the fact that she feels that she can’t have any fun anymore because she is too old. This is exactly what her friend and (much younger) colleague Laurie (Busy Philipps) tries to disprove when she takes Jules out to a nightclub.

At first, the night doesn’t bode well for Jules. She gets flustered and spills her drink all over Matt (David Clayton Rogers), a younger guy who she ends up flirting with for the entire night. However, her drunken mind suddenly sobers up and she realizes what she’s doing. She takes a taxi home and prepares to spend the rest of the night in … until her doorbell rings, and Matt is standing on her doorstep.

It turns out that Laurie had put him there, as she did not want Jules to let “his body” go to waste. After a few awkward minutes, Jules and Matt end up having sex three times. Jules is impressed by his youth, vitality and endurance, and though she is rather appalled at herself for becoming a “cougar,” she eventually invites him back over for more.

Cougar Town is definitely something that I would call a “guilty pleasure” show. It’s not bad, but it’s not a show that will leave the viewer hanging off the edge of their seats wanting more.

Check out the preview, and decide for yourself what you think of it. Chew it over.
