And even other times, other people might be suggesting you change in a way you don’t really want to. Other times, you might need a bit of push to get there. Sometimes, those changes come all on your own, through hard work, resolve, etc. But despite that inherent pressure to not change on the framework of the series, episodes like this one do a nice job of presenting at least the possibility of change.

The main appeal of the series is how insanely wacky they can act, and I cannot imagine that shifting in the future. These aren’t people who are going to dramatically change, develop or grow up.
In any event, this week’s second episode did a nice job of suggesting small steps of maturity in all of its stories, leading to an effort that might have been a bit less funny than Monday’s ‘Walls,’but is ultimately a better episode altogether. Clearly, the Cobb marriage was a dysfunctional one. Meanwhile, the more ‘adult’characters like Jules spend a lot of time acting like insane people, as if they’re letting loose after the hard knock life that was late 20s and early 30s. The characters stuck in a perpetual state of immaturity (Bobby in particular) often discuss what it means to grow up or change their ways, whether they actually do that or not is not necessary.
The folks that occupy the world of Cougar Town most certainly fit this arrested development sort of vibe, and even though most the episodes deal with Jules and company acting like complete fools, there’s still an underlying sense of maturation, particularly with a few characters. This is especially true for television comedy characters, who are often broad, wacky versions of people who probably wouldn’t exist in the real world. And even though we tend to look at adulthood in a specific sort of way in this culture, people can still have a lot of growing up to do well into their 40s.
