I love Cougar Town! I also know it is one of those shows you love or hate there is no in between. I love Cougar Town and watch it every week and have the DVD's but I know this is defiantly going to be it's last season. When stars of one show start to make guest appearances or get recurring roles on a different show that means it's over. ABC please give us a season 4! ABC has so many bad shows cancel one of them leave Cougar Town Be At least for one more season!

I'll check out "Nashville," simply because of Jonathan Jackson.

I watched C. Town for the first time this week...terrible! I couldn't sit through the rest to the end. Sorry C. Town fans! I would not be surprised if it was canceled.

I think perhaps if you watched from the begining and got to know the characters you might have a different appreciation for the show. Do not get me wrong it is not the greatest show ever produced or very smart. It is however fun and it has quirky characters.
