Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Cougar Town is a TBS sitcom, starring Friends' Courteney Cox. Previously, it ran for three seasons on ABC.The show initially centered around Jules Cobb (Cox), a newly divorced 40-year-old mother who tries to get back into the dating game after being out of it for 18 years. However, after roughly five or six episodes, this premise was dropped. Since then, the show has mostly focused on the various shenanigans Jules, Ellie (her snarky best friend and neighbor), Laurie (her ditzy younger colleague), Bobby (her ex-husband), Grayson (UST -ridden single neighbor), Andy (Ellie's husband and Bobby's bromantic best friend), and Travis (her 18 year-old son, the Only Sane Man) involve themselves in, ranging from morning drinking, to the glorious game of Penny Can, to a massive drop-everything $2,000 balloon chase that spans multiple episodes. Can be considered a bit of a Spiritual Successor to Scrubs, in overall tone, humor, and penchant for amazing musical selections. This isn't surprising- it has the same creator and executive producer, and also features his wife.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Each episode has two or three plots and sub-plots, some only given 2 minutes or so. While it is surrounded with tropes, the "deadbeat dad" tends to be rather wise (and credited by the other characters as a better parent, currently than the over-involved mom) and the loser son also is not that much of a loser.TBS picked up the show for a fourth (and later fifth) season shortly after ABC cancelled it, moving to the former network—and cable—in 2013. On May 10, 2014, it was announced that TBS renewed the show for a final sixth season. They now apologize for the title. | |

The Cameo | |
Cougar Town / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: In the second season finale, one of the people in the background on the bar terrace is played by Danny Pudi. That is, until you notice him acting strange and realize (if you also watch Community) that it's not Danny Pudi but Abed in a brilliant, subtle piece of cross-referencing (specifically, it refers to a possibly made-up story Abed tells in "Critical Film Studies"). Also a case of Breaking the Fourth Wall. Both Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston, Cox's former female co-stars in Friends, appear in an episode each. Another Friends co-star, Matthew Perry, appeared in a season 5 episode. Moving on to someone who never appearednote but was mentioned on Friends, in the final season's "Yer So Bad" Andy and Ellie try to guess who Tom's celebrity patient is; it's Cindy Crawford, who appears As Herself in the final scene. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Cougar Town / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: An entire episode has references to Scrubs. This is even lampshaded by the subtitle. In the episode "Saving Grace," Jules mentions Ted Danson as an example of something cool, (incorrectly) commenting that he appears on a dance show called "Can't Stop Dancin'/Danson." Bill Lawrence, between Scrubs and Cougar Town developed a pilot for a show called Nobody's Watching, where the idea was brought up to give Ted Danson a show with that same title. The fact that Ellie asserts that the show doesn't exist might be a little Take That Me about Nobody's Watching not getting picked up. | |

Funny Background Event: The seagulls on "Saving Grace". They even appear indoors on some scenes. Abed's cameo has him looking around and eventually running off, which is noticed by the characters. In "Stop Dragging My Heart Around", at one point Travis is talking to Jules and Bobby, and when the camera pans to them, you can see that the TV in the background that's on is currently showing an episode of Scrubs. | |

Artifact Title | |
Cougar Town / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: Even the show knows this. The title gag on a Christmas Episode? "All I want for Christmas is a new title". Shortly followed in their episode after New Years with the resolutions "Embrace our stupid title & lose six pounds". And shortly followed after that in "Lost Children", in which Barb stops Jules and comments that she use to be one of them (a cougar). Jules replies that that's not her any more and dryly snarks that maybe she should just change her name. Same episode then has the title gag be "Do we have to do this joke forever?" In Season 2's finale, the title lasted twice as long, shooting through Florida, over California, and to Hawaii, where the line was "We'll never stop making fun of the name-" Season 3 begins with: "It's still called" above Cougar Town followed with "Yeah, we're not happy about it either." below. In the season 3 episode "Ways To Be Wicked" when Travis and his housemate Sig wonder why there is a statue of a cougar at their college ("nothing around here has anything to do with cougars!") The first episode has the local highschool mascot as a cougar and the football team bursts through a paper banner which reads: Welcome to Cougartown. Other than the initial intention for Jules to be a cougar prowling for younger men, this seems to be the only connection left (not that it ever comes up again). The title finally gets changed to Sunshine State... on the last episode of the show. | |

Made extra funny as the announcement that the show is moving to TBS (having 2 new seasons each lasting 15 episodes) happened just a few days before. The season 4 premiere has Jules noticing how great it is to share her stories with the world again... having gone out a few minutes ago for an errand. | |

The most recent being the third season finale, in which she clearly has an emotional affair with another man IN FRONT OF ANDY, which is painted as acceptable. | |

Authority in Name Only: Andy when he becomes mayor. Aside from attending a meeting every six months, he does nothing except cut the ribbon at openings (his first is for a bicycle rack). Taken to such an extreme that he doesn't even realize he won the mayoral race for about a month until a random side character mentions it to him. His campaigning for mayor could also count as an Aborted Arc, it's a big deal to him for all of one episode (mainly because Jules needed him to win so he could authorize a permit for her) then it isn't mentioned again until he finds out he already won. | |

Cougar Town / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catch-Phrase: Andy's "COME ON!" PENNY-CAAAAAAN! Laurie uses "What what!" in the first couple seasons, but it slowly phases out as her Character Development moves beyond just a party girl. Arguably Laurie's "LAUGH!" (because she's self-conscious about her real laugh) In universe, Andy when he was a stand-up comic in college: "Bitches be loco!" "Change approved!" | |

Tom is the only one of them who lives nearby, whom almost everyone dislikes at first, and whose house nobody hangs out at. | |

Incest Subtext | |
Cougar Town / int_bdc453a0 | comment |
Incest Subtext: It's brought up one time with Jules towards Travis. Both are squicked by this, although Jules ever so slightly less than Travis. That Jules not only loves her son, but is "in love" with him is something of a running gag. Pushed right up to the edge of truly squicky territory and certainly far enough to constantly embarrass him (like when she snuck into his apartment at 3am and spooned with him until his roommates found them… again). At one point, her boyfriend role-plays as Travis to help her get ready for a difficult conversation with him. They work through the issue, say the love each other, and then start making out. In season two, Kirsten notices that Travis' celebrity crush, Megan Fox, has long black hair and likes wearing tight jeans. Just like Jules. In season six, Jules' dad sleepwalks naked to their bed and mounts Greyson. Ellie comments that she thought if Jules ever had a threesome with a fmily member it would be Travis, Jules agrees looking disturbingly non disturbed by the idea. | |

Grayson, before getting together with Jules, had a parade of bimbos (as Jules put it) in and out of his house. Ellie, before she married Andy. Bobby kept sleeping around with waitresses. That's... everyone but Andy and Travis. | |

Shout-Out | |
Cougar Town / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the thanksgiving episode, Andy eats a hamburger before Thanksgiving dinner and says that it's like stretching — this was taken almost verbatim from an episode of Friends. In any other case, it would look like a complete rip off, but since Courtney Cox's the lead, we're all good. In the thirteenth epsiode of season one, Jules and Bobby can be seen watching an episode of Scrubs. In a seventh episode of the second season, Travis and Bobby share a montage to Enrique Iglesias's "Hero." The song was used for a different purpose on Scrubs. Andy is compared to Keyser Soze for his skill at manipulating women, with the episode's plot leading quite naturally to his shedding a limp at the end. In the same episode, Ellie refers to Andy as a "sensie," a term introduced on Scrubs to describe an overly-emotionally sensitive man. Ted shows up in the Season 2 Finale, and reveals that Hooch is still crazy. Wait, if they're in the Scrubs universe, does that mean that Jules' father is Bob Kelso's identical twin? And what about Ellie? Or Dr. Maddox played by Courteney Cox in the first few episodes of season 8? And Doctor John Dorian looks surprisingly like Zach Braff? Ted is worried about that, too. Really, it only way it makes sense at this point is to just theorise that Cougar Town exists all within Ted's mind, having finally jumped off of the roof after Gooch left him for Hooch. And in an episode's tag, everyone gets into a fake gun fight, with Travis groaning "I love Spaced!" as he "dies." The title gag for the Season 3 episode Down South is "I didn't know it was back on either." -Abed. The following episode Square One has the title "Welcome to Cougarton Abbey". Season 6 episode 5, Even the Losers, ends with Andy and Ellie holding hands as they stand watching their vandalism fireworks go off. Andy looks at Ellie and says, "thank you for helping me through a very strange time in my life." | |

Attending Your Own Funeral | |
Cougar Town / int_e4c89b67 | comment |
Attending Your Own Funeral: Laurie fakes her death and attends a candlelight tribute her erstwhile sorority stages. Except she accidentally yells at one of them out loud and has to run away. In "Last Dance With Mary Jane" this is Jules' birthday wish, to be at her own funeral and hear what her friends really think of her. Grayson engineers a plot to have Jules think everyone's leaving and have them say how they feel about her, thus getting her wish without the funeral part. | |

Flanderization | |
Cougar Town / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: It didn't take long for Jules to become Monica from Friends. Jules started off as a smart working mother who was somewhat insecure about getting back into the dating scene. By the end of the first season she became a neurotic control freak who treats Grayson with the same condescending "I'm right about everything and your arguments are invalid" type of attitude that Monica displayed towards Chandler. A personality trait that she didn't exhibit with her previous boyfriends. | |

Crossover Punchline | |
Cougar Town / int_eb766e13 | comment |
Crossover Punchline: The second episode featuring the character Ted (from Scrubs) had him noting, in the sting, how many people around town look exactly like people he used to know (including a few other guest stars that were around that episode). When the actor who played Dr. Kelso shows up (playing Jules' dad), Ted freaks out and runs into a glass door trying to escape. Then Zach Braff shows up to deliver a pizza, and the Todd even shows up and offers him a high five. | |

AntiClimax | |
Cougar Town / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: Typically, shows will end with some sort of confrontation or right in the midst of that season's climax. Very few follow this series style of resolving every single major conflict and leaving no unanswered questions for next season... Series Fauxnale: A possible example–what with the series' relative obscurity, it was somewhat up in the air as to whether or not it would be renewed. | |

Product Placement | |
Cougar Town / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Almost insultingly obvious at certain points: The entire cast spends the first five minutes of an episode gushing about Slankets… which they are all wearing. Grayson and Bobby have a discussion about how it's OK for guys to like Grey's Anatomy, another show on ABC. "No Reason to Cry" — which contained a three minute discussion on the Diet Dr Pepper logo being on a golf outfit — featured Diet Dr Pepper ads in the show as well as the promos earlier in the night ("Tonight's all new Cougar Town is surprisingly refreshing ... just like Diet Dr Pepper!"). Unlike many other instances this is justified as Bobby is a pro golfer. It is also lampshaded early on in the discussion as Travis makes an aside, saying "Is anyone filming this?". DDP cans are seen in later episodes. Subway starts being featured a lot, too. Travis actually said he could "eat for several months with the $12 in his pocket" (paraphrased) - couldn't have been more obvious. Bobby and Travis spend an entire episode on vacation. In Target. Where Travis gushes about all the crap you can buy at Target. As part of Andy's welcoming Bobby from his golf tournament in season 6, they go buying Go Pro cameras at Best Buy. | |

RunningGag | |
Cougar Town / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: "Isn't her name 'Tampa'?" Jules changing the meaning of phrases (for example, "Junk in the trunk" now means emotional baggage) and Ellie approving the change ("Change approved!"), with either Travis or Grayson protesting the change. Once a season, Jules' favorite drinking glass breaks. The group give it a funeral (with Grayson again pointing out how ridiculous it is) and then present Jules with a replacement. On the sixth season Jules breaks the glass herself because she's overwhelmed that everyone she cares about is (she thinks) moving away. | |

Comically Missing the Point: No one gets it when Ellie, to compliment someone, gives them the tip of an imaginary hat. Jules also usually doesn't get it when someone plays a little game. Also, she really can't play the portmanteau movie game (teens trapped on an island find pirate treasure: Blue LaGoonies). | |

Brick Joke: A staple of the show's humor. Some span a single episode, some come back a few later. One spanned several seasons: During season 1 there is an episode where the cul-de-sac is practically overrun by loose dogs with no explanation. Three seasons later Laurie and Jules reminisce about the time they lived out their favorite song lyrics including "letting all those dogs out" | |
