Cougar Town
Bad title. Good comedy.
Created by Bill Lawrence, Kevin Biegel
A warm, character-driven sitcom about midlife reinvention and found family, built on affection and ensemble chemistry rather than plot mechanics.
Jules Cobb is a mom in her forties facing the often humorous challenges, pitfalls and rewards of life's next chapter. Along for the journey is her son, her ex-husband, her husband/neighbor and her friends who together make up her dysfunctional, but supportive and caring extended family... even if they have a funny way of showing it sometimes.
