Ratings: "Cougar Town" Returns to All-Time Low
Feb 15, 2012

Can we give the "Cougar Town" crew an A for trying?
Despite the cast and producers' valiant guerrilla marketing effort for the long-delayed third season, the comedy returned Tuesday to 4.8 million viewers and a 1.8 rating in the adults 18-to-49 demo — both series lows.
The silver lining?
The show suffered relatively small drops in both measures — 4 and 10 percent, respectively — from the Season 2 finale (when it aired on Wednesdays after "Modern Family") and posted the highest retention rate out of "Last Man Standing" (82 percent) all season.
Still, "Cougar Town's" premiere numbers are below those of the timeslot's previous (and now-canceled) occupants "Man Up!" and "Work It".
