Cougar Town-The Hunky Neighbor

Bdubs — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:30:11 +0000

Instead of recapping the latest episode of Cougar Town, which opens with Jules have a sex dream about her neighbor Grayson, let’s focus on Grayson. He is such a hunky piece of man meat! Yum.

Grayson is played by Josh Hopkins. I first got my actor crush on Josh when he guest starred on Private Practice. He was a total sleaze ball then, but still hot. Now he’s kind of charming in his bachelor way in Cougar Town. He tries to pretend he loves being the sexy new divorcee, but you can tell he’s kind of lonely. I’m not sure if he’s the kind of guy you’d say yes to if he gave you certified diamonds if you know what I mean, but he is a hottie. I wonder if the writers will have Jules and Grayson hook up. I almost hope not, since he is such a playboy. Still…that would be one steamy scene wouldn’t it?

Cougar Town-Series Premiere

I am a die hard Friends fan, and I adore Courtney Cox. So I had high hopes for her new series on ABC, and Cougar Town did not disappoint. I was a bit worried that all the funny parts were in the promos, but it was pretty funny throughout the show. I found myself laughing out loud at Courtney’s character, Jules, a 40 something recent divorcee and mother to a teenage son.

Her younger friend convinces her to get back out in the dating world and get her groove back Stella style. It’s funny to watch Jules because she says everything that she thinks. “Wow, you’re really black” to the big African American bouncer. It sounds terrible, but the way she says it is just adorable, and the bouncer gives her this wink and says, “Yeah baby”, and you just crack up. I am also so guilty of blurting out things without thinking, so I can relate to her.

Even through the jokes and the silly antics, there is also a serious note to the show. Jules has this hatred for her divorced neighbor (who happens to be a total hottie) who is constantly bringing over young bimbos to have his way with. She gives him a deep speech about how hard it is to be single at 40.

Now it can’t be so hard for Courtney Cox, who looks incredible at 45. I wish I knew what fat burners exercises she does because at 45, she looks better than my 26 yr old self!

She pulls off the sexy Cougar mom thing, but the show isn’t just about sex appeal. It’s also about a mom who’s struggling with this new life, trying to maintain her friendship with her still married best friend/next door neighbor, and also trying to be a good mom to her son. I hope this show makes it, because I thought it was great!

Fall 2009 TV Season-Hurry Up!

I can’t wait for the new season of my favorite shows. It feels like it’s taking forever! Don’t get me wrong, I love my summers. But why does the programming have to be so terrible? On the weeknights after a long day of work, I like to come home and unwind for an hour or two with a little TV. Sadly in the summertime, it’s nothing but reruns or bad reality shows, like Tool Academy. Do these idiots really need their own television show??
So here’s a list of all the shows I can’t wait to see, as well as some new ones that look interesting.

How I Met Your Mother
The Office
30 Rock
Parks and Recreation
Better off Ted (if those jerks at ABC renew it!)
Grey’s Anatomy
Brothers & Sisters
Desperate Housewives
Private Practice
Mad Men
Family Guy

And for the new shows out, these look like they have potential:

Cougar Town

Community

Parenthood

Accidentally on Purpose

New shows are always hard to like, because networks are so quick to cancel them. So hopefully if any of these new shows are good, the networks will recognize that, and stop playing back to back episodes of So You Think You Can Dance. Also, thank you to all the networks for putting TV Shows online. If they didn’t, there’s no way I’d be able to keep up with all these shows.
