ABC Women’s Channel launched "Comedy Wednesday" (Wednesday Comedy Night) this quarter. Starting from 8pm Eastern Time, a total of five comedies have been launched in a row, all of which are new series. Now that CBS’s comedy power is extremely strong, it really requires a lot of courage to make decisions this time to launch such a 20-minute comedy in one go. These plays are in chronological order: Hank; The Middle; Modern Family; Cougar Town; Eastwick.

Among them, Cougar Town, starring Courteney Cox, has received the most attention, and of course the most highly anticipated. Monica in "Friends" left a deep impression on everyone. Some people like this little perfectionist Cox. Of course, because of her obsessive-compulsive behavior and nonsensical madness, another part of the audience is impressed. Later, I was a little bit resistant to this role. From the perspective of screenwriters, because the screenwriters of American dramas are usually composed of many people, the role positioning is actually changed from time to time as the actors improvise. "Friends" became more and more incomprehensible later, Monnie Card lost the popularity, Chanler became unflattering, Rose was still so dull, only Joey was still so cute. I believe that these regrets are the screenwriter's factor accounting for a large proportion. The last extra season was unexpected. After September 11, 2003, Americans needed entertainment, and "Friends" just added another season. In fact, after so many years, these actors have been very tired, and people have become an instinctive habit of watching "Friends", rather than his special feature.


In "Cougar Town", Cox appeared naked from the beginning. A woman who has passed her forty years, coupled with divorce, makes her life like a fire without charcoal, with enthusiasm and lack of combustibles to burn. Facing the sagging skin, the woman in this mature town—Jules Cobb—can only sigh: What the hell is that? Crap!

However, Cobb will give himself a satisfactory answer. This 19-year-old pregnant woman, now divorced, knows how to spoil herself, the neighbor on the opposite side, why the man who is also divorced in his forties is so popular, and still all day long. Dressing like a high school student to make beautiful women makes Cobb jealous. Well, she can only say with grief and anger: Stop having sex with baby. The sad subtext is: No "Baby" wanna have sex with me——forty divorced woman.

This real estate agent who is over 40 reminds me of Eddie. Mark Chery irresponsibly made Eddie disappear in Scenic View, but fortunately, also in ABC, her substitute, this year over 40 is a bit coquettish. 'S real estate agent was born in Cougar Town. In fact, from many angles, I think Eddie and Cobb are very similar. They are women who are not afraid of age and do not want to disappear into social circles prematurely. What about divorcing and having a child? Is this the reason for voluntarily giving up the right to find happiness? Women in their forties are also a safflower. Why can the 90-year-old Grandpa in this patriarchal society make girls pregnant, and divorced old women can’t die in the spring?

In the stands, Cobb was guessing with his friend Ellis what is the relationship between a woman in his forties and a boy in his early twenties: Son Or Boyfriend? Cobb guessed it eighth time: Boyfriend. This era seems to be the era of popular siblings all over the world. Sisters who are in their 30s and 40s should pay attention. Those bad old men who drive Lamborghini on weekends and wait for beauties outside the art academies are almost gone. Rich women can also show their faces in splendor. What are they afraid of? ——The age of ladies is outdated, and the age of mature women is coming.

Following this principle, Cobb found such a young man, handsome and unrestrained. Can not help but remind people of the handsome gardener John in the first season of DH. We have to wait and see how the story tells to develop.

I estimate that at most three of the five new films of Comedy Night will remain after one season. Judging from the current ratings, the chance that we will continue to see Cox is still quite high. Mature women are crazy too, let all ladies be mature! ! !
