Review | Cougar Town

AIR DATE: Wednesday 11/25

Courteney Cox endears in a Thanksgiving tale that's both raucous and romantic. Hard-charging Jules (Cox) invites her ex (Brian Van Holt) and neighbor (Josh Hopkins) for dinner, paving the way for a compelling love-triangle fallout. Meanwhile, her teen son, Travis (Dan Byrd), is intent on losing his virginity, leading to a hilarious sight gag and sublime antics from ditzy pal Laurie (Busy Philipps). Throw in a warm holiday toast, and it's cheers all around! (ABC, 9:30 P.M.)
