Jennifer Aniston To Prowl Into Courteney Cox's 'Cougar Town'
Quote:
ABC has confirmed to EW.com's Michael Ausiello that Jennifer Aniston will indeed appear on former "Friends" costar Courteney Cox's series "Cougar Town." In fact, she'll have the honors of ushering in the new season, guest starring on the show's second season premiere Sept. 22.
“[Jennifer's] going to play Courteney’s shrink named Bonnie,” says "Cougar Town" executive producer Bill Lawrence. “Kind of a get-too-involved-in-her-life-type of therapist. Those guys are so close in real life they kind of do that for each other anyway. Bonnie has the life Jules wishes she has.” Am I the only one envisioning midday therapy sessions over a bottle (or two or three) of Merlot?
If you caught Jennifer's zany appearance on "30 Rock" back in 2008, you know the actress has a gift for jumping in mid-stream and providing some serious yucks. (She didn't nab an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for nothin'.) She and Courteney have had 16 years' time (and a hit series) to hone their chemistry, so it's likely she'll trump even her "30 Rock" appearance. (Is that another Emmy nomination we smell?)
For now, Jen's character is slated for just one episode, but Bill says he left the story open for a potential role reprisal. “We’re very intentionally implying that it’s a therapist Courteney has been using for a while, and we’re certainly not going to make it like they’ll never see each other again,” he says. “So I’m crossing my fingers that if she has a good time it’ll happen again.” May we suggest a group therapy session with Jules, Bonnie and Dr. Amy Evans (Lisa Kudrow's temperamental dermatologist character from last season)?
I really want to watch it as I've only seen one episode of it, but this makes me want to go back and watch Jennifer's guest appearance on "Dirt". She was great in that!
But the show has the "Friends" premise to it anyway so no complaints. 
- Desperate Housewives is not a proper comedy.
