Note: This is not a review, merely our first impression of an unfinished product. A show can go through many changes between the pilot stage and its official broadcast debut.
'Cougar Town'
Premise: Recently divorced mom Jules decides to do what every other woman of a certain age is doing -- take up a younger lover -- which embarrasses her son Travis, amuses her slacker ex and gets a thumbs up from her friends.
Cast: Courteney Cox, Josh Hopkins, Christa Miller, Busy Philipps, Dan Byrd
What Works: In an ensemble filled with comedy all-stars, Cox makes us remember why she was one of the funniest 'Friends.'
What Doesn't: The physical gags were piled on a bit thick, and it's hard to believe that such a beautiful woman (even one who's "older" and divorced) would be so desperate.

I loved her in past performances but this was way out of line I have no respect for her after watching last weeks episode and I will not watch in the future

This show is really stupid and offensive. I u sed to like her on "friends", it wa a clever show. But the writer of this show seem to be juveniles. Really, really dub. Watched it once, never again.
