Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – “Cougar Town” may just be getting a new name next season. Co-creator Bill Lawrence says that since the show has moved so far from its original premise, it might just undergo a name change.
Speaking to HitFix.com, the producer says that common sense is part of the reason why the studio is thinking about changing the title. They also want to attract people who normally wouldn’t watch the show because of its title.
He said that the studio found “too many instances of testing of people saying they would never watch a show called ‘Cougar Town’ – ‘I don’t want to see some show about a 40-year-old woman nailing younger guys’ – and then they screen an episode, and people go, ‘Oh, I would watch this show.’”
When asked if he has any title in mind? He joked that he wants the show to be called “Friends and Neighbors,” with the “Friends” part written in the same font as star Courteney Cox-Arquette’s old show.
“But I don’t want to put ‘em out there yet. It’s tough, man.”
