  1. Cougar Town is funniest comedy on prime time, definitely ABC’s best show. I wish Nielsen ratings could accurately reflect how many are watching and love the show. Any fans can join our effort to spread word about the show on Facebook at Save Cougar Town. Goal is to see a 4th season. Something Big was one of my favorite episodes ever. Hilarious. Same with the week before. Bill Lawrence, the writers and cast are outdoing themselves. Thanks for the great, absurd yet warm, quotable, quirky feel good comedy.
