Tonight ABC debuts Cougar Town, a comedy based on the media trend of older women hooking up with younger men. Building a show around the concept of “cougars” is a bold, farsighted move that guarantees the show will remain timely and relevant for years. I hereby predict that Cougar Town will have the staying power of such still-on-the-air hits as NBC’s Metrosexual City, the Christian Slater thriller My Own Worst Frenemy and, of course, Biff Masters: Yuppie P.I., currently in his 20th season of solving crime and grinding espresso beans on CBS.
