"The Cougar" on TVLand is kind of creepy.
.
In it, there is a 40 year old woman, picking from a bunch of 21 - 27 year old men (the guy to her left is her father for a party).
.
So - fun but stupid premise; looks like Scooter fare.
.
Then we meet Stacy who is not only taking this way too seriously - but she has FOUR CHILDREN, the oldest daughter less than 5 years younger than the youngest guy.
.
See I don't mind creepy media-whores - but they shouldn't drag there kids into it. And then her parents joined the fame-fest to bring her a birthday cake for her 40th.
.
She is looking for her "soul mate" with 4 kids and hasn't told these young boys about her real children yet. She says "Stacey's dating experiences have led her to believe that men her age and older live under the pressure of a "ticking clock" that dampens their spontaneity and zest for life. Her personal success is based upon upbeat optimism, and she believes that younger men have a similar spirited tempo, a demeanor that Stacey finds crucial for her future love interest to possess -- a love interest that she plans to find on The Cougar."
.
I could totally get behind this. I mean Eddie was 28 when we met (although I was NOT 40). But she is a mom from Arizona. I get the whole "MLIF" thing - but your kids are watching!
.
Tasteless (and dull to boot).
