OK, everyone, I hope you're sitting down for this one.
Stacey Anderson, an actual 40-year-old (I know, and it gets worse) and Mother! Of! Four! (SEE?!?) is seeking to "make a connection" with men more than a decade younger than her on the new TV Land series "The Cougar."
Although, as the Arizona Republic helpfully explains, there's "a certain 'ick' factor" about a woman dating men who are, biologically speaking, young enough to be her children, I, for one, am confident that a show with a name like "The Cougar" will be a thoughtful, sensitive exploration of female sexuality at every stage of life, even (I know, but try to keep an open mind here) the advanced age of 40.
And followed, no doubt, by "The Panther": A show about a 40-year-old man just looking to make a connection in the unlikeliest of places: Among women in their late 20s.
