No More Cougars In Cougar Town Next Season!!!

Finally, executive producer Bill Lawrence is putting his foot down, and has decided that season 3 of this underrated comedy will see a new name altogether!!!

In a recent interview he had this to say:

You have no idea how much it hurts me and [executive producer] Kevin [Biegel] to see that title on the screen knowing that we had something to do with it. [Laughs] It’s such a played-out joke and we just feel dumb in retrospect. This is the same as people saying “Keri Russell’s hair killed Felicity” — if this show goes away before it’s time, it was because we were dumb enough to name it Cougar Town. And there’s nothing we can do about it. If Cougar Town stays the show’s title, we plan to mock it until the end of time because we hate it so much. It will ultimately be our Simpsons-like opening gag until, emotionally, it doesn’t hurt our souls so much.

And then he followed this up on Twitter by adding:

Screw it. I'm changing it (if Kevin's cool w it. Someone ask him for me). Seriously, we just decided. Will use fans to help w new title.

To answer many of you: Kevin and I titled the show. It helped sell it, plus we thought we'd do campy show about woman re-entering world.

Now Cougar Town is show about adult friendships and drinking. And it's called Cougar Town. I hate myself.

Yes, 22 episodes next year, and yes: when we change the title we will still do mocking title cards.

Our new title will suck and we will mock that, too…

Last year we wanted to change to "SUNSHINE STATE" or "Grown Ups" but couldn't due to TV show (Mr. Sunshine) and movie (horrifying Grown Ups)

Yay!!!!! Cougar Town is hilarious, but has nothing to do with it's title, it'll only do the show good to have a change!!!! I reckon it should be called the Culdesac Crew..... or Pounding Grape lmao!!!!
