Cougar is a “Bachelor”-style reality competition in which 20 younger guys compete for the affections of an older woman. TV Land has made a lot of changes in shows that makes no since at all and showing them more than they should and it should stop. I loved TV Land for yesrs now untill this happen. Shows like she's got the looks and others like that show have a station of there own and put all the old shows back in there spots. I give a rating of 1 being good and 10 poor, my rating is a 10 at this time. Go to the TV Land profile page, or see the latest Mondo Times media news & reviews.
