Sunset and New Beginnings (Cougar Town s03e1415 Season Finale Episode Review)

Sayonara, ABC! Hello, TBS!

ABC's Cougar Town has recently concluded its third run with a one hour finale bonanza.

Oh, and David Arquette was in the episode too.

Cul De Sac Crew off to TBS?

ABC's not-so-hit-with-the-ratings sitcom "Cougar Town" is reportedly being transferred to TBS if (and only if) ABC decided to cancel the show.

The sitcom featuring FRIENDS' Courteney Cox has been trying to regain its strength, ratings wise, due to the repetitive benching of the show in the network's TV line up. The creator, Bill Lawrence, desperately campaigns for the survival of the said sitcom in his Twitter account since its February season 3 premiere. Furthermore, Cougar Town has been cut down to only 15 episodes (with original 23).

According to Deadline.com and TVline.com, TBS execs has neither confirmed nor denied the rumour. But for fans like me of Jules and her gang, wherever they want to put CT, we will still watch and support them (but of course, it's better if they remain in ABC).


*****UPDATE*****

On May 10, 2012, Creator Bill Lawrence confirmed that Cougar Town is picked up by TBS for 2 seasons.

Scrubs in Cougar Town

The latest episode of Cougar Town (s03e05) featured a lot of casts from Bill Lawrence's sitcom Scrubs (2001-2010). Sarah Chalke had already appeared last episode as the new love interest for Bobby, and Ken Jenkins in a recurring role as Jules' father. 

On the last scene of the said episode, Zach Braff, Robert Maschio, Sam Llyod, Sarah Chalke, and Ken Jenkins Scrubs appeared (although some for only 5 seconds). I think it was hilarious! Just seeing the casts all over again is amazing.

Bye Cougar Town?!

Last February 14, 2012, ABC's Cougar Town returned for its 3rd season after being on hiatus and being shelved for 9 months (supposed to premiere on Nov 2011) by its network. Also, the show was cut down to 15 episodes instead of 22 due to the low ratings it received from the sitcom's second season (filming of current season was finished last month).

Although many assume that its return would entice the viewers to watch Cougar Town,  the first few episodes of the 3rd season did poorly - at least, ratings wise. I'm always active on twitter and I am following all the 7 main actors of the show and one of its creators, Bill Lawrence. And recently, Lawrence's tweets about Cougar Town showed his desperation and willingness to make the show have its fourth season. (PS. Read it starting from the bottom tweet upwards to fully understand it)
