In this candid interview with Alan Sepinwall, co-creator Bill Lawrence talks about how the show went from its crass, high concept premise (which was, let's not forget, a premise that garnered the show a huge premiere audience) to a low concept show about just doing stupid stuff with your pals. In it, he talks about how the show's title has become an impediment to people who might like it sampling the show (and, yeah, we've made fun of the title here). Lawrence hopes he and ABC can agree to change the title, but I doubt that will happen. So consider this your official notice: Cougar Town has quietly become one of TV's best comedies, and we're going to be covering it next season. Because it's awesome.

Solid premiere tonight and yeah, sounds like a fun drinking game to try out sometime.
I also liked how they inserted "Still" in parentheses above the title during the opening sequence.

Pretty good premiere. I liked seeing Jennifer Aniston back with Cox, but her part wasn't that funny.
lol at the hug battle.

Loved the premiere, except all the scenes with Jennifer Aniston. And I'm a huge fan of hers. That wasn't a good character for her. Their reunion worked better in Dirt.
