The new comedy Cougar Town recently opened in Australia, winning the night's ratings. It was very heavily promoted. Obviously that had a bit to do with its success.

Still, it was up against some stiff competition, including shows that had already become established. So I think the high number of viewers watching the Courtney Cox comedy (1.3 million) was significant. It revealed that there is a widespread fascination with the whole phenomenon of "cougars". It will be interesting to see how long this lasts.
