Entertainment WeeklyKen Tucker
There are moments of low-down fun, and host Vivica A. Fox adds some genial energy. Let's see where this goes.

It's a well-made show with a proven template, but others including "Ivana Young Man" and "Age of Love" have trod this road before.

Sure, The Cougar is idiotic--these shows always are. That's a large part of their appeal. But casting fouled up here.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
TV Land has made a concerted push to achieve a younger profile with original reality shows, but The Cougar manages to feel neither original nor real.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeJoanna Weiss
By rights, given all of this material, "The Cougar" should be hilarious. But the show takes itself so seriously that, instead, it feels impossibly sad.
Read Full Review >SlateTroy Patterson
The Cougar defeated my efforts to pay attention to it. I made four honest efforts to contemplate, or even to notice, what was happening in the pilot, and the show kept sliding right off my cerebral cortex.
Read Full Review >PopMattersTodd R. Ramlow
The Cougar is not only oogy and repetitive, but also as behind the curve as TV Land‘s usual rerun fare.
Read Full Review >New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Dating shows tend to be bottom feeders in the "reality" game, but not even the oiliest episodes of "The Bachelor" have ever felt as creepy as "The Cougar."
Read Full Review >New York PostLinda Stasi
It's a horrifyingly embarrassing low-rent dating show in which a 40-year-old woman must choose one young cheeseball from among a batch of 20 spoiled curds.

This is so lame it isn't funny! Who wants to see someone chase their mother? To top it off, what in the world is it doing on a Classics TV channel which is aimed at family viewing? Viacom should put this one on another channel!
dlmviewer gave it a1:
This show seems geared towards young men who wish to be with older women with more experience in alot of areas.
Rick M gave it a1:
Most ridiculous show TVLAND ever had. Stacey is a slut and the guys aqll are so desperate to be on TV.
