Cougar Town, whose terrible name has become a running joke on the show, is far from ground-breaking television, but it is light and funny, Cox’s distracting plastic surgery aside.
And, yeah, they’ve had a lot of the more expensive Orin Swift bottles on the show, as well as Kosta Browne. (Though I’m not a Swift fan myself, I sort of smile when I see these supposedly middle class folks pounding multiple bottles of $55+ Papillon on an average Wednesday night.) But you also see cheap stuff like Layer Cake and Justin Cab.
Oddly enough, though I’d say we don’t actually watch that many shows on a regular basis, we also watch, and enjoy, Good Wife, and I watch Scandal, which is incredibly silly but also addictive, especially when binged upon with a glass or two of wine.
It is a sitcom about a neighborhood of middle-aged friends. It is ok, not great, but it is way off to call it about drug dependence and sad people. I have only watched it a few times, but wine is a pretty minor part of the ones I have watched. Seems like a lot more when you put clips together but this is from likely a large number of shows.
One of the great underrated years for CdP. But I’m guessing that, given they made up a completely unlikely name, no one is paying attention to vintage charts either.
I have watched Cougar Town from the very start, because a childhood friend of mine is one of the writers. In the first episodes, I would swear that “Big Carl” was a Riedel Sommelier Burg or similar. Later it changed to a vase or candle holder.
My guess is that the props folks had a hard time keeping real glassware clean without breaking it.
