I’m looking forward to seeing their relationship develop. It was easy to date Wade when he was in Afghanistan. It was also nice to see some real growth for Laurie, who finally is ready to allow herself to have a full, adult relationship.
But it did allow for Bobby and Travis to reenact the Julia Roberts giggle scene from Pretty Woman and for Bobby’s wonderful Lady and the Tramp meet-cute story with dog Travis, which might be one of my favorite Cougar Town scenes ever. And Grayson’s obsession with wishing he had a “meet cute” story with Jules wasn’t quite believable. Sometimes the show gets stuck on an idea that doesn’t quite work. I was willing to use my imagination and just think of everyone years younger. And I give credit to the show for not doing too much to make the actors look younger. Also, given that premise, we are supposed to accept that Ellie wildly changed Jules, but Jules has had little-to-no effect on Ellie.īut it will still be fun, as the title card suggested, for fans obsessed with continuity to dissect the episode. But there’s no way I believe Jules sounded like Dolly Parton and walked around barefoot. I can believe it of Bobby since he is now only a slightly more sophisticated version of his younger self. Now do I believe that in that decade that transpired since Jules went from being a redneck to who she is today? Not for a second. Judging by the age of young Travis (who totally looked like a young Dan Byrd even though I watched Any Day Now and know what a young Dan Byrd looked like), it seemed that the flashback was 10 or 11 years ago. The episode took viewers back to when Jules first met Ellie and the cul-de-sac crew was formed.
The show was clearly making nice with its loyal fans in “Flirting with Time.” What a relief! Cougar Town successfully rebounded from last week’s episode, which took the comedy to new lows.
