Cougar Town Season Two, Free Falling
I’ve just started to watch Cougar Town again, and I’m sad that I’ve missed most of the season. This show is the ABC equivalent to Community on NBC, an off the wall, inside jokes kind of work that works very well. The show dealt with three main story lines in the episode, with the Travis being forced to make big choices in his life the only meaningful of the three, but none the less the show delivered on the laughs.
There were far too many jokes to get across in a review, but me try to focus on a few major joke related plot lines.
- · Jules and Bobby having an awesome handshake / celebratory parenting chant for them working together in regards to Travis. It never got old and more of these are needed (if there are more, I’ve missed out).
- · The Penny Can game that Bobby, Andy and Laurie played. Well more of the rules that went along with the game rather than the game itself, throwing a penny into a can off of Bobby’s boat. And Bobby really should cut his witch nail, because if he can flick someone and draw blood, that’s a problem.
- · Grayson and Ellie dealing with the Children of the Corn kids who do chalk drawings that are extremely disturbing in a stick figure kind of way, that also happen to be on fire and one missing a head (Oh, there it is) worked well and gave the neighborhood some mythology to it, in a crazy way.
The character that worked his way into two of the three stories and ultimately progressed the story for future episodes was Bobby. Even though he didn’t want to sell out on his Penny Can game, the money helped him move out of his boat and get an apartment. But no one told him to keep Travis out, which led to Travis living in the boat, a progression for the characters in Cougar Town. And that’s what I enjoyed the most, some satisfaction for watching the episode with a level of progression that happened for these extremely funny and interesting characters.
