McGinley, Donald Faison or Judy Reyes will be on the show this year". If that reunion episode happen, than it would mark the second time that Christa Miller and John C. McGinley worked together, as they had previously portrayed husband and wife in that show.^[7] On September 3, 2010, it was revealed that Ken Jenkins, who previously worked with the show's creator Bill Lawrence in Scrubs, will be portraying Jules father on the Halloween-themed episode, scheduled to air on October 27, 2010.^[8] On September 30, 2010, Michael Ausiello reported that Collette Wolfe is joining the series as a grad student who gets romantically involved with college freshman Travis.^[9] On October 29, 2010, it was announced by Morgan Jeffery, from Digital Spy, that Zach Braff would guest star in a upcoming episode this season where he'll appear in animated form when Laurie downloads an "appetizer app" to her cell phone that features the star offering culinary advice.^[10] On November 2, 2010 it was reported by Matt Webb Mitovich, from Fancast, that newcomer Jennifer Cortese is playing Grayson's ex wife Vivian, and her first appearance will be on the Thanksgiving episode, When the Time Comes.^[11]

Production

On January 12, 2010 Cougar Town was picked up for a second season by ABC. On May 11, 2010, the show's creator, Bill Lawrence, said that he was considering changing the series' title since the name Cougar Town wasn't well received by the viewers.^[12] However, on July 30, 2010, he said that the show would keep its original name.^[13]

It was announced by ABC that the show will be put on a major hiatus, returning on April 18, 2011 after a shortened Dancing with the Stars and return to its original timeslot on April 20, 2011^[14] as the new show Mr. Sunshine will premiere in Cougar Town's timeslot.^[15]

Reception

The second season of Cougar Town received generally favorable reviews from critics. The season currently holds an average score of 75 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 7 reviews, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.^[16] Tim Stack from Entertainment Weekly regarded the season in a positive light, citing that "very few shows can get away with genuine moments of emotion while also incorporating the phrase 'dead-baby tacos.'" Hitfix writer Alan Sepinwall also gave a positive review of the show, saying that "midway through the first season the writers realized their cast was so funny together that the wisest course was to just put everyone together as often as possible. By the end of the season, it was often funnier many weeks than the Modern Family episode leading into it. This is still the show that Cougar Town became at mid-season last year."^[17]
