Cougar Town is an American television sitcom that ran for 102 episodes over six seasons, from September 23, 2009, until March 31, 2015. The first three seasons aired on ABC, with the series moving to TBS for the remaining three seasons.[1] ABC officially gave the series a full season pickup on October 8, 2009.[2][3] On May 8, 2012, ABC canceled the series after three seasons. Two days later, TBS picked up the series for a fourth season.

The show was created by Bill Lawrence and Kevin Biegel and was produced by Doozer and Coquette Productions in association with ABC Studios. Filming took place at Culver Studios in Culver City, California.[4] The pilot episode achieved 11.28 million viewers.[5] Season 2 premiered on September 22, 2010, with 8.35 million viewers.[6] Season 3, consisting of 15 episodes, was originally slated to premiere in November 2011[7] but, because of ABC's promotion of the ill-fated Man Up!, it premiered on February 14, 2012.[8][9] Following the Season 3 finale, it was announced that TBS had purchased the rights to the series for an additional 15-episode season, to air in 2013, with options for additional seasons. On March 25, 2013, TBS renewed the series for a fifth season of 13 episodes, which premiered on January 7, 2014.[10][11] On May 10, 2014, TBS renewed Cougar Town for a sixth and final season.[12] Season six premiered on January 6, 2015,[13] and the series concluded on March 31, 2015.
