Found this article in the paper this morning kind of amusing. Sarasota's new name: Cougar Town? | HeraldTribune.com | Sarasota Florida | Southwest Florida's Information Leader

Guess they're going to be shooting a new comedy series in Sarasota called "Cougar Town". The co-creator of the show graduated from local Riverview High and has worked on South Park and Scrubs.

The title is a reference to “cougars,” the 40-something women who date much younger men, similar to older men who date younger women.

Who would have known-Sarasota-Cougar Town-Haha!

You gotta read the comments below. They're hysterical as well. I about fell over laughing reading this one. Maybe he/she could try for a job as a writer on the show-- "Sarasota is definitely a big cat habitat so there's no need to look further south. There is quite a range of Cougars though. You have your healthy ones on the Ringling Causeway on Saturday mornings and they're easy to spot considering they are the only ones out there with makeup on, wearing heavy doses of perfume and wearing anything that is small and contains spandex.

Then you have the Thirsty Cougars at the Gator Club spilling their Cosmos all over everyone acting like they're at a Bon Jovi concert. Then there's your Classy Cougars who are easily spotted at any charity event or gala in hopes of making it into the Observer, SRQ or Sarasota print in a brand new low cut dress. Then you've got Island Cougars who hang out in the Siesta Village waiting for their Spring Break moment while wearing their blinking promotional Bud Light necklace.

All of the above are great though considering they keep restaurants and bars in business, local boutiques, charitable organizations, fitness centers and of course the Land Rover dealership loves them as well."

Here's another comment--Wouldn't you rather been known as a Cougar Town than God's Waiting Room?.. I know I would..

I had to read the whole article; wow.

True to the story, my xh is a doctor, my bf is under 30 & I'm over 40 (however, like Courtney, don't look my age). Men have had younger women 4EVER; I"m guessing this show could be shot in a couple of FL cities (Naples, Boca, West Palm, Miami....). When I first moved to Sarasota, it was Pee Wee caught in the dark with his pants down; now almost 20 years later, it's cougars, ah the beauty of what the heat does to people down here!

You only live once....

I remember the PeeWee incident! I was working at the Sarasota Jail at the time and had to sift through miles of boxes of booking records looking for anything that mentioned his name cause he paid to get his record expunged.

Hey, Lady maybe they could make it more of a reality show and you could get a spot on the show! A real live Sarasota cougar! Go get um Lady Ya, know how they have the show Housewifes of NY or whatever it is. I can't wait for the show it's gonna be funny.
