Really, TVLand? ‘The Cougar’??!

by Debbie Stoller

This Wednesday, TVLand is set to begin airing it’s new reality series, ‘The Cougar,’ hosted by Vivica A. Fox and featuring someone in their 40s who’s looking for a lover among people in their twenties.

I have only one question: hasn’t this been done before?

Strangely enough, on the preview video for TV Land’s show, you see the guys talking about why they like ‘older women,’ (like it’s a fetish). I’ve never seen them ask that question of the contestants on the above shows, though.
