Courteney Cox and Busy Phillips lead the cast of the ABC half-hour comedy Cougar Town which premiered on September 23, 2009. The comedy follows a group of friends and focuses on their complex dating lives.

Courteney Cox stars as Jules, Busy Philipps is Laurie, Dan Byrd plays Travis, and Christa Miller is Ellie. Josh Hopkins plays Grayson, Ian Gomez is Andy, and Brian Van Holt stars as Bobby.

The Plot: Courteney Cox stars as Jules Cobb, a recently divorced mom in her forties facing the often humorous challenges, pitfalls and rewards of life’s next chapter. Along for the journey is her son – a college freshman, ex-husband, and friends who together make up her dysfunctional, but supportive and caring extended family… even if they have a funny way of showing it sometimes.

Jules’ circle of friends, a.k.a. “the cul de sac crew,” includes next-door neighbor Ellie (Miller), her sarcastic, unapologetic confidante; Ellie’s average, but loveable husband Andy (Gomez); Grayson, the overly flirty neighbor from across the street who’s also her “someday guy;” Laurie (Philipps), her younger, feisty protege; ex-husband Bobby (Van Holt), a classic under-achiever who tests her patience; and Travis (Dan Byrd), her dry and witty son who more often than not is the adult observer amongst the group.
