Back in October we learned from Entertainment Weekly that Lisa Kudrow, former star of Friends, would be joining her Friends compatriot Courteney Cox-Arquette on her new show Cougar Town in an upcoming new ep. Today EW bring us the first look at Lisa and Courteney together again on Cougar Town … but this time around they are far from being friends:
There will be something conspicuously missing when Friends costar Lisa Kudrow guests on Courteney Cox’s ABC sitcom, Cougar Town, on Jan. 6: friendship. “They didn’t want to play friends,” says executive producer Bill Lawrence, who quickly came up with a different role for Kudrow. “She plays a dermatologist who is a horrible, horrible person, but [Cox] goes to her because she’s the best. The [sight] of them playing people who dislike each other intensely was very funny for me to watch.”
I dunno … they still look pretty friendly to me in this photo … but I guess it would’ve been too obvious if the ladies were friendly in these new roles. As I’ve mentioned a few times already here on the blog, I am a HUGE fan of Cougar Town and I am very much looking forward to this new ep featuring Lisa Kudrow. I have a sneaking suspicion that other former Friends will be making their way to Cougar Town in the future but I’m glad that Lisa Kudrow is the first. She is really very funny and she will be a welcome addition to the already brilliant cast of Cougar Town. Woot! I cannot wait :)

LOVE that show. It’s hilarious.
I love Cougartown… but doesnt the son look like the neighbor should be his father instead of the schlub golfer?
Btw… son? Drool worthy
I am a huge fan of Cougartown and am crossing my fingers and hoping that it will find a loyal audience that will keep it running. After Eastwick was not picked up (which I was really becoming involved in) it makes me nervous when I find a show that is absolutely brilliant because I dont’ want the axe to drop!
