Would It Be Possible To Come Up With A More Ridiculous Name For A Show Than Cougar Town?

thumbnail icon: Would It Be Possible To Come Up With A More Ridiculous Name For A Show Than Cougar Town?

It's being reported today that Courteney Cox will be starring in a new show on ABC, and that show is going to be called Cougar Town. From EW:

Here's some good Dirt on Courteney Cox: The Friends actress is returning to the land of comedy with Cougar Town, an ABC pilot in which she stars as a hot 40-year-old mother who's newly single.

Whoops, ABC, you called a show that. Whoops, Courteney Cox, that's what your new show is called. Is it possible to even come up with a worse name? YES IT IS! And it has been done, after the jump.

  • Cold Vagina Mountain
  • Occasional Sex But Mostly A Lot Of Crying And The City
  • M.I.L.F.: Des Moines
  • Eagerest Beavers (UGH. Sorry. But also Cougar Town!?!)

You know what, those are all terrible titles. The difference, though, is that THOSE ARE NOT REAL. Cougar Town. Unbelievable sometimes this Hollywood.

I'm sitting here in tears laughing. This is why 30 Rock will never be as good as AD. Sure, it's got some funny lines, but really there is no comparison.

Cougar Town might be as funny, though.

Two and a Half Inch Penis. Can that be one? Charlie Sheen is already in it so they just need to rename it. The theme song can stay.

If David Arquette cameos I'm sure it will be great.
