And I’m not talking ’bout the dog. Yep, sounds like the Cougar Town plan this coming season is for Jules’ little (college) boy to get a roommate. Check out the spoilers on that, and more, below:
Is Travis really going to go away to college on Cougar Town? — Joshua
MICKEY: He is, unless Jules shrinks him down so small that he can live inside her blood! Trav marks his first days as a college man similarly attached to his mama, much to the amusement of his roommate (producers are seeking a Quinton Aaron type), who bestows upon Trav a series of nicknames, each more humiliating than the last.Question: I’m still really bummed about the Emmys snubbing Cougar Town—especially Busy Philipps for supporting actress! Can you give me some scoop to ease my pain? —Ed
Ausiello: This next piece of news should leave you feeling both happy and a little gay: Exec producer Bill Lawrence hints that Travis will make a gay friend in season 2. “One of the reasons Travis is going to college,” says Lawrence, “is to expand our world a little bit.” In possibly related news, Cougar Town is casting the role of Travis’ “enormous jock-y college roommate” named Kevin. Think Quinton Aaron from The Blind Side—only with better fashion sense. (That last part is purely speculative.)In its second season, Cougar Town will be looking for a “name” actor to play a parent of Courteney Cox’s Jules Cobb. And contrary to reports, Jennifer Aniston’s cameo on the show may not happen. While creator Bill Lawrence would obviously love to broker a deal to nab one of the Friends, he acknowledges that Aniston is one of Hollywood’s busiest and most in-demand stars.
Who else can’t wait to get a load of Travis’ college buddy? Taking casting guesses in the comments!
