Cougar Town Creator Wants to Change Show's Name

Cougar Town creator Bill Lawrence said an interview with HitFix that he would like to change the name of the show.

I'd like to (change it), and the studio has been talking about it for three reasons: One, partly as a result of common sense and partly from their research, they find 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." Second point is simply what you already said, which is you would be hard-pressed to watch the last three episodes of the show and asked anyone for titles - I doubt anyone would say "Cougar Town." Third, in a world where ABC and Steve are looking to promote "Modern Family" and capitalize on it to promote all their new shows next fall, anything you can do to create some kind of dialogue about your existing show is smart and savvy.

It didn't really seem like the greatest name to begin with, but the show, starring Courteney Cox, has been a hit. EW reports that an ABC rep told them there are "no immediate plans to change the name." It looks like they are stuck with Cougar Town.
