TV: Accidentally on Purpose vs. Cougar Town

Both TV comedy series do focuses on a mature women falling in love (or still looking for love) from younger men.  When both series started I was curious as to what both shows offer.  Show after show, I started feeling that one of them looses my interest while the other one makes me want to watch the next episode.

Accidentally on Purpose is such a disappointment for me.  The comedy is very forgettable and the actors seemed to be lacking on something.  I started looking interest with the show.  Jenna Elfman, is a bit overacting and can only stand her for a while.  Though she tries to be child-like and immature but it’s a over-play.  And Jon Foster, who is he by the way?  No substance for me.  I particularly like Ashley Jensen from Ugly Betty but she’s not enough to make me want the show more and more, unfortunately.  Oh and Nicolas Wright is corny and predictable with his character – nothing more to expect.

Unlike Cougar Town, Courtney Cox is perfect for this role.  The comedy punch lines are in sync and she’s very amusing. Christina Miller-Lawrence and Ian Gomez are such funny actors/couple.  Busy Philipps is also one of my favorites because of her quirky antics.  One of the things I like about the show is that it covers family issues especially from a son’s point of view.  I appreciate Dan Byrd’s candor by expressing himself if he approved or otherwise on her mother’s escapades and indiscretion.  Wrong as it may seems but it’s funny just the same with the way she handles herself. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if Accidentally on Purpose will end it’s show “accidentally” or “on purpose” sooner or later.  And for Cougar Town, let the ladies roar and have fun… I know I am.
