Tuesday’s TV Picks: ‘Cougar Town’
TV picks for Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013, include “Cougar Town” on TBS, “The Taste” on ABC and “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” on NBC.
‘Cougar Town’
The cul-de-sac crew has made the switch to its new network with all the wine-guzzling and penny-can playing quirkiness that has made the comedy a favorite of many (with maybe a tendency toward racier comedy — not for the kiddos). Courteney Cox, Josh Hopkins, Busy Phillipps and Ian Gomez lead a very funny ensemble. 10 p.m. Tuesday on TBS (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
