Cougar Town is an American television
sitcom that ran for 102 episodes over six seasons, from September 23, 2009 until March 31, 2015. The first three seasons aired on
ABC, with the series moving to
TBS for the final three seasons. Set in the fictional town of Gulfhaven,
Florida, nicknamed "Cougar Town" since its high school teams are the Cougars, the series focuses on a recently
divorced woman in her 40s facing the often humorous challenges, pitfalls, and rewards of life's next chapter, along with her teenage son, her ex-husband, and her wine-loving friends who together make up her dysfunctional, but supportive and caring, extended family. The
pilot episode was broadcast after
Modern Family. ABC officially gave the series a full season pickup on October 8, 2009.
