Cougar Town show creator Bill Lawrence took to Twitter today to say that he is not a fan of his show’s name, so he asked “How many of you (if you like show) have had trouble getting others to watch due to crappy/lame/cheesy title? Curious.” He then posted a lot of replies from people saying that people cringe when they hear the name or don’t believe a show with that title could be funny. So after several comments, he said “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.”
He then went on to explain how Cougar Town came to be, “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.” So now that you know the back story and where the comedy is today, what do you think the new name should be? My choices are Penny Can, Wining and Dishing, Not Cougar Town, Courteney Cox and her new Friends and For the Love of Alcohol.
And in you case you were wondering if they will still make fun of the new name if ABC lets them change it, he said “Yes, 22 episodes next year, and yes: when we change the title we will still do mocking title cards.”
BTW if you are not watching this show because it is called Cougar Town, you are schmucks because it is one of the funniest shows on TV!!!
Dolly Parton is on The Ellen Degeneres Show today and the big chested singer shared with her that she almost always has her makeup on and sleeps with a wig near her bed In Case of Emergencies. So the talk show host said she came up with a solution, so that she doesn’t have to spend so much time putting on her face and her hair, and you know what it is a beautiful remedy! Especially after we see Ellen try it out!
Evander Holyfield proved to us that he can dance on Dancing with the Stars and now it is time for the man who bit his ear off to do the same. Last year Mike Tyson was on an Italian version of the show and Iron Mike has some smooth moves. Wouldn’t you watch if he did the ABC dance competition show? But we might not get our wish because he told Jimmy Kimmel Live they don’t pay enough. So I say to ABC pay up because he is worth it!
BTW I know this video is old but I just discovered yesterday when Jimmy Kimmel showed him the video during their interview.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson was on Jimmy Kimmel Live and he shared the story with him about how is outgoing message on his phone got to be. Well if it has a tale, you know it has to be good. And let me tell you after hearing the Modern Family bearded red head play the message, I have to tell you it is not only good…it’s grrrreeeeattt! Not in a Tony the Tiger type of way, but an Oprah Winfrey sort of way!!! Once you hear, don’t tell you me you don’t agree with me.
