TV Guide is reporting that Cougar Town is getting closer to finding a name. Courteney Cox and Busy Philipps are claiming they may change the name to Friends with Beverages. Courteney said, “it’s a play on ‘friends with benefits.” –DUH. Thanks for clearing that up Court, I was totally confused. I know that’s not the final title, but that’s one of the ones they’re playing with. Personally, I’m not a fan, it’s too on the nose.

And what’s the deal with trending theme titles? When Cougar Town came out, it was all about cougars everywhere. It was the joke of the hour, every TV show made a cougar joke, it was all over the internet…and now it’s all about friends with benefits. Like the movie Friends with Benefits, No Strings Attached…the list goes on. Where’s the originality, people?

If they’re taking the female demo/drunk route they should name the show: Sh*tty Kittys!

    I’m just going to believe this is a joke. I like telling people I’m watching Cougartown, what’s the big deal? The name cracks me up at this point because it is nit what the show is about at this point. Clearly, Bill Lawrence is giving into bullying. Hey Bill, it gets better

    Personally, I like “Cougar Town”, and if the people bitching actually watched the show, they would know that the town’s school mascot is the Cougar, so whatever. Friends with Beverages is probably a good route to go if they want to get a bunch of viewers to give a show a chance instead of judging it based on what they think the title means. ugh. I heart this show so much, they could call it shit town and I’d still watch it religiously.

    How about “Plastic City” or “Botoxville” cause that’s all I can think about when I see Courtney’s new face.

    I love the show too. It’s one of the funniest shows on tv (and certainly better than “The Middle,” so I don’t know why ABC is constantly beating us over the head with THAT show, even though it’s funny at times). I don’t think a name change is going to help with the ratings. And that’s not necessarily the fault of viewers — it’s ABC’s fault for shuffling it off and on the schedule. I personally like the little jokes they play during the credits about the title.

    “Friends With Beverages” is a HORRIBLE title, though. Like that other ABC series, “Suburgatory,” I would just want to avoid the show entirely simply because the title is a steaming piece of ass pie.

    I’ll still watch the show either way, but I think they should just leave it. It’ll be the third season — either people are going to watch it or not. They’re not going to gain any new viewers either way, in my opinion.

    They should steer clear of the word “friends” in the title, naturally. What could they be thinking? I think this show is hilarious and don’t mind the title!

    I LOVE seeing what “disclaimer” they put with the title each week too. That’s enough reason to leave the title alone as it is! :)

    Aw, I really enjoy “The Middle” I think it’s really good and I definitely laugh every time I watch it. It feels so wholesome, AND Jan Itor is in it so that’s a plus. Sue is super cute and I can’t stop rooting for her even though she is a spaz.

    The again, I smoke A LOT of weird so my taste is all over the place.
