Critic Reviews

Ken Tucker

There are moments of low-down fun, and host Vivica A. Fox adds some genial energy. Let's see where this goes. Read full review

Randee Dawn

It's a well-made show with a proven template, but others including "Ivana Young Man" and "Age of Love" have trod this road before. Read full review

Verne Gay

Sure, The Cougar is idiotic--these shows always are. That's a large part of their appeal. But casting fouled up here. Read full review

Brian Lowry

TV Land has made a concerted push to achieve a younger profile with original reality shows, but The Cougar manages to feel neither original nor real. Read full review

Troy Patterson

The Cougar defeated my efforts to pay attention to it. I made four honest efforts to contemplate, or even to notice, what was happening in the pilot, and the show kept sliding right off my cerebral cortex. Read full review

Todd R. Ramlow

The Cougar is not only oogy and repetitive, but also as behind the curve as TV Land‘s usual rerun fare. Read full review

Linda Stasi

It's a horrifyingly embarrassing low-rent dating show in which a 40-year-old woman must choose one young cheeseball from among a batch of 20 spoiled curds. Read full review

Most ridiculous show TVLAND ever had. Stacey is a slut and the guys aqll are so desperate to be on TV.

This is so lame it isn't funny! Who wants to see someone chase their mother? To top it off, what in the world is it doing on a Classics TV channel which is aimed at family viewing? Viacom should put this one on another channel!
