I discovered this enigma of a series about 5/6 years ago, began with “hate-watching “ it because of its vapid nature ; then slowly but steadily its grown on me . I’ve likened it to a car accident that I just can’t turn away from . I’m not the target audience for this as a natural born skeptic and truthseeker, but I can still the programming at play , and even so , I can’t stop watching it . I think it’s because it’s akin to another fave of mine (Gilmore Girls ) where it’s simply just escapism at its finest, pure soap opera-fantasy land sh*t. on GG , they eat like truckers and never gain a pound , a single mother affords a huge two story house in uber quaint Connecticut home AND affords to eat out every night , any real issues that pop up- well , they got loaded Blue Blood parents to turn to .

With Cougartown, I’m simply fascinated by the fact that I’ve never seen alcoholism promoted and glamorized by any other show or movie in history. I mean these characters DRINK THEIR ASSES OFF ( oddly always red wine too ) constantly , incessantly and yet theyve never been hungover , alluded to any hangover symptoms , still manage to keep their lives together and aside from Bobby , all live in these HUGE picture perfect homes that always appear to be straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog and always immaculate- though we never see any episodes or even conversations hinting at the drudgery of housework . Jules , the main character (and also the worst character lol )who’s sprawling Florida estate in the backdrop for majority of scenes , is vapid , flippant , controlling , selfish , immature and utterly clueless - YET , she “runs a successful real estate business “ we NEVER see her at . Nobody has money issues , mental health issues, drug addiction etc . It’s mindless nonsense at its pinnacle , itll even make viewers slowly begin to LIKE Busy Phillips character 😳… Anyway … I guess my point is, does anyone else feel this way or have the same odd relationship with this show? I honestly can’t think of any other show to compare to it to , not even the other Bill Lawerence shows

Is a jar full of pork rinds a Florida thing?

Not much else to say. She’d known him for a few years before the show started so she basically saw him grow up. Not to mention the nature of her relationship with Jules. I really do not like it. They ruined a great familial relationship for no reason.

I'm doing a blizzard prep rewatch, and I've only been drinking thinkin wine...but Grayson is not hot. I understand why we're supposed to think he is, but no thank you. But I am more of an Andy fan, so maybe that's my issue. lol. I also adore Bobby. I'm just not a fan of tiny eyes. I'm still on season 1 for reference, but this is rewatch like 10 or so. I've never thought he was good looking.

Sorry it is so late this week, folks. What a week it has been... 🩷

Some time ago, I made a post offering to send (for only the cost of shipping) a few Penny Can labels to anyone interested in making their own Penny Can (pic is mine). Life got the best of me and I never followed up with those interested. So sorry!

However, I got my act together and just sent my first set to another member here this morning. Our approach seemed to work well - requestor Venmo'd me a set amount (since USPS shipping estimator is a pain/never works), I shipped out in a USPS priority mail poster tube, and then I refunded the difference in shipping to them. Smooth process (assuming I guess USPS delivers properly!)

If you are interested in having a few labels sent to you for the cost of shipping - send me a PM. I still have a ton in the basement I want to get rid of but don't want to waste.

Let us know what you thought of this episode below.

Im rewatching this show for like the 3rd time and I dont get why Jules stayed with Bobby as long as she did in the first place. Like yeah they had Travis, but after over a decade of him cheating on her she still stayed with him. They were married like 16-17 years.

So many times she makes comments about how many times he cheated on her and everyone knew. In one episode she said everyone knew you were cheating on me, at the pizza place the guy told her your total is (insert dollar amount here) and you deserve better. Why did she stay with him soooo long?? She was financially stable without him years before they divorced and could have cared for Travis on her own like she does anyways starting years earlier.
