More on Cox's "Cougar Town"

Since we noted ABC's order of "Cougar Town" yesterday, the media has been abuzz on Courteney Cox's new foray into the comedy jungle, so to speak. The media response has been all over the map and we figured we'd give all you cougars and cougar lovers a rundown - including the exclusive web news report on E! News Now - all after the jump.












Entertainment Weekly - "Courteney Cox's 'Cougar Town': Roar?"

"While the title exudes sheer desperation -- for viewers...and young men...and a giant Cosmo beheld by a cougar, because why not -- I'm psyched that Cox will head back to network primetime." -Annie Barrett

Star Magazine - "Courteney Cox to Prey on Younger Men for ABC"

"[Cox] also has experience as the older woman — since 1999 she's been married to David Arquette who is seven years her junior. Court's BFF, Jennifer Aniston, 39, also seems to have been bitten by the the cougar bug — she's been dating John Mayer, 31, off and on since the spring."

WowowoW - "Courteney Cox Sinks Her Claws into ABC's 'Cougar Town'"

"While the term 'cougar' makes some women flinch for its seemingly demeaning connotation that older women are on the prowl to find themselves male prey; others feel that the term is a symbol of empowerment. Women earned their stripes and aren’t afraid to date whomever they please. So, love the term or despise it – older women dating younger men is growing into a cultural movement."

The Real Cougar Woman - "Courteney Cox in Cougar Town"

"Next year there is going to be a onslaught of cougar reality shows coming our way.  And, in my opinion not one of them will do much to lift the image of The Real Cougar Woman.  Dating younger men is just one slice of a very large pie.  She is a complex and has a lot more on her mind than prowling in after hours haunts." - Linda Franklin

Seattle Post Intelligencer / TV Guide - "Courtney Cox Bringing Sexy Back to Cougar Town"

"After working with the actress on Friends and on a three-episode guest arc on the new season of Scrubs, [series creator Bill] Lawrence felt the 'comedically fearless' Cox, 44, will be perfect for bringing sexy back to fortysomething women, who talk 'about Botox, about having sex with the lights on and how her body is changing.'" - Joyce Eng

BuzzSugar - "Courtney Cox Heads to Cougar Town"

"After the darkness of Dirt, it should be fun to see Cox back to doing comedy. Just one thing, though: The name Cougar Town makes me cringe a little. I guess I'm just not ready to 'reclaim' the word cougar yet. Can you work on that, Bill?"

Collider - "Courteney Cox Pounces Cougar Town"

"According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cox will play "an attractive, newly-single, 40 year old mom with a 17 year old son."  At what point this 'attractive mom' starts trying to get her son's friends drunk and naked was not revealed in the article." - Nicole Pedersen

BlackBook - "Courteney Cox Gets Dirty for 'Cougar Town'"

"Taking a cue from television’s classiest cougars like Eva Longoria, Madchen Amick, and Julie Bowen, Cox is traveling to Cougar Town, a single-camera comedy helmed by Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence—who she met only recently. Lawrence aims to dismantle the misconceptions cast on our beloved cradle-robbers." - Rohin Guha

Videogum - "Would It Be Possible To Come Up With a More Ridiculous Name for a Show Than Cougar Town?"

"Cold Vagina Mountain. Occasional Sex But Mostly A Lot Of Crying And The City. M.I.L.F.: Des Moines. Eagerest Beavers (UGH. Sorry. But also Cougar Town!?!)... You know what, those are all terrible titles. The difference, though, is that THOSE ARE NOT REAL. Cougar Town. Unbelievable sometimes this Hollywood."
