Help Me Save Cougar Town and Maybe Win $100 Amazon Gift Card

Hey friends,

I need your help.

At the top of the page you'll notice we have a banner up for the show Cougar Town.  Now, up front let me tell you I am not getting paid a dime to host that ad or for this post.  It's taking up premium ad space on the site because I want it to.  I reached out to the creators of the show and asked them for something, anything, to put on the site to show my support and appreciation for what has become one of my favorite TV comedies, and my favorite ensemble cast, on TV today.  Why?  Because I love it and I want it to stick around for as long as possible.

What does this have to do with you?

Well, I'm asking for a favor.  Watch the show.  Tuesday Nights 830pm on ABC.  Give it a chance.  I can guarantee you it is not the show you think it is.  It's not about older women after younger men.  it's about friendship and family and wine.  It's an unfortuantely titled show that you will fall in love with.

Do me a favor and help me save one of my favorite shows.  Tell your friends (especially of the Nielsen variety), watch the show a few times.  If you don't like it, you've lost what 90 minutes?  If you do like it, and I feel extremely confident that you will, keep spreading the word. 

Hell, I'll even make it a contest.  Anyone who tweets "Please Watch Cougar Town Tuesday 8:30 on ABC.  One of the Best Shows (and THE BEST Cast) on TV! #CougarTown #PCBCT" will be entered in a drawing to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card (out of my OWN POCKET.)  If I get more than 100 tweets/RTs on this AND Cougar Town ratings increase (even a little) I'll bump it up to $100.


DO NOT FORGET THE HASH TAGS or I won't know you tweeted it. UPDATE: Contest ends April 3!

That might not seem like a lot but I'm a completely independent blog and I do this for the love of doing it. 

Help me save Cougar Town and in the process you'll find a show you'll fall for too.

Game on.


THANK YOU!

DVD Review: Cougar Town The Complete Second Season

The Cul-de-sac Crew is back in the 2nd season of ABCs Cougar Town and I couldn't be happier.  I absolutely love this show.  In fact, get ready for this because it's official, I'm calling Cougar Town the best comedy on TV right now and in fact one of the best shows period.

It's fascinating to see how the show has evolved from focusing on the dating life of Courteney Cox to an ensemble show about the lives of this group of friends who have become a family.  It's an entirely different show than when it started.  You can see the evolution throughout the first season and it really comes together during season two.    22 episodes of pure hilarity and some of the best comedic writing you'll find on TV make Cougar Town a serious stand out show.

It doesn't matter how brilliant the writing is, and it is brilliant, if you don't have the right cast to bring it to life.  Thankfully, Cougar Town has that cast.  A group of perfect actors who bring these characters to life flawlessly with each episode.  As the second season progresses, it's easy to see just how comfortable they have become in these parts.  It's a shame that Modern Family (a show I also love) is stealing all the thunder because in truth Cougar Town had a much stronger second season.  It's really a travesty that they didn't get any Emmy recognition this year.  There is NO better cast on TV, period.  

As funny and zany as the show gets it has this great emotional core running through it.  You can be laughing at one thing and then a moment later you're getting choked up seeing one of these characters you love going through a bad moment.  That kind of connection to the characters is rare in TV today I think, especially in comedy.

As for the DVD release, you get all 22 episodes of season 2, and a few special features including  deleted scenes, a featurette about the shows evolution, the Andy's Dreams web series, and a woefully short outtakes feature.

Here at PCB HQ we watched the entire season in about 3 sittings, which evens out to a disc at a time and in fact have started in again so its safe to say we really do love the show.

Don't let the title fool you or put you off.  This isn't a show about cougars.  Not anymore.  It's a show about family and life and friends that will have you laughing and quoting for hours.  When you watch it, I dare you to not want to play a round of Penny Can.

Cougar Town: The Complete Second Season is available now.  Season Three begins this fall.
