You Decide: What Should They Rename Cougar Town?

Cougar Town creator Bill Lawrence has a regret or two: "I'd like to [change the title], and the studio has been talking about it," he tells Hitfix. "It's tough, man...It's a great hindsight mistake." While it would be unusual for a major network show to change its title between seasons without a radical recasting or rejiggering as inspiration, who knows what's typical anymore in today's crazy, mixed-up world of television? We put it to you, then: if this Courteney Cox sitcom changes its title, what should they call it?

Should they leave it as is, for branding purposes? (Just think, the big-screen 3D version could be Cougar Planet. The Saturday morning version could be Cougar Babies.) Perhaps they should call it C-Town, as Lawrence once suggested to Movieline? Or is there something else that would more accurately describe the current version of the show, like Frozen Lady Faces and Shirtless Guest Stars? The floor is yours.
