Maybe Jules is maturing: Courteney Cox’s new Cougar Town scratching post is the darn-close-to-age-appropriate Scott Foley. The Unit secret agent has signed on to appear in three episodes as a businessman being shown some houses — and, presumably, one bedroom in particular — by our randy realtor heroine.
How’d the casting coup come about? Well, you’ll recall that Foley was a frequent guest star on Scrubs, which just happens to be the last hitcom overseen by Cougar Town mayor Bill Lawrence. So the dots are pretty easy to connect, no?
In any case, what do you think? Is Foley a step up from Nick Zano’s Josh? Is he a believable delaying tactic until the inevitable Jules/Grayson hook-up? Sound off below. (Additional reporting by Andy Patrick)

Excellent casting — I approve!!!
Me too!
yeah. i have to say, Nick Zano may be cute and comedic, but he wasn’t right…Scott Foley is a much better fit!
I’ll miss Nick Zano..he is one to watch!
Anything with Scott Foley is a good idea. Oh how I miss The Unit…..
Agreed! As a 24-34 age female liberal, I loved the show–CBS bring it back! Ignore the stereotyped nielsen ratings!
How about a little Keith from Scrubs…?
He was on Always Sunny last night! I’m all for Courtney Cox seducing The Todd.
Yes!!
Great news! I love Scott Foley.
Yay Soley!
They were in Scream 3 together!
Cool I guess – but he’s 37 years old. I don’t really understand how he’s going to fit in a show like “Cougar Town”….
Well, the Town is still pretty Cougar-y.
He (SFoley) may act as if he is as young as he looks (mid-20s) rather than his actual age. This is where acting comes in. Cuz Courtney Cox is not 40, but her character is.
She’s 45…..
He does not look mid-20’s. He’s adorable, but he looks mid-30’s.
Oooh Fun! Although I will miss Nick Zano. No one looks better shirtless…Justin proved that last week.
I prefer they keep Nick Zano..he’s much cuter and he’s young so it makes more sense for the show.
I always wanted Elliot on Scrubs to end up with Scott Foley’s character instead of J.D. Always good news when he is on a show.
What?! Heresy! But he was the best out of the guys she dated.
Are you still a Cougar if you’re dating someone 8 years younger? (37 and 45 seems reasonable.)
Actually I think Courteney’s character Jules is suppposed to only be 40
Micheal H is right. See my other post, above.
great! i miss the unit so much. still think of it on sunday nights.
They can still keep the name if they shift focus from Jules to Barb.
YEEEESSSSS!!!!
i love scott foley – ever since felicity. im totally for this!
I haven’t watched Cougar Town at all, but I will definitely tune in when Scott is on! He is number 1 on my list!
Ohhhh yes please, thank you, Scott Foley will bring some much needed down to earth sexy intelligence tp the show! Seriously, he should be a bigger star! I think he should have his own show on HBO! Sorry Jennifer Garner, but you traded down!
Yes! Love Scott Foley. I hope he does some scenes with Javier, I mean Andy.
Ha! My husband and I keep calling Ian Gomez’s character Javie–like Ben used to!
He was absolutely hilarious in Scrubs, so this is definitely a step up from unfunny Zano.
He’ll always be Noel to me. Can’t wait to see Noel on CT.
Noel and Javier together again – yea!
JULES AND GRAYSON STAT!!!!!!
yum. scott foley’s been a fave since felicity…
The Dudemeister sucked, he should stay off TV screens. Prefer Sean/Scott.
I concur ! loving this !
little Scream 3 reunion; little Scrubs reunion…GOOD TIMES!
but ya the Jules&Grayson thing is gonna happen not just yet. also her ex-hubby clearly still has a thing for her!
I LOVE this SHOW!
I love NOEL…er…Scott. Two thumbs up! I’ll tune in.
CAN’T WAIT FOR THE COUGAR REALLY MISS THE UNIT
this has always bugged me about the show..she says she had the kid when she was 19 0r 20 and the kid is what..16 or 17 so that makes her 37 at the most and then she keeps saying she is 40…the math doesn’t add up..
That’s bothered me too. I think in one episode she said was married to her husband at 19 and had the kid at 22 or something. I love Courtney, but she looks 45. They should have made her character 45.
OMG! OMG! OMG!
Trying to rack my brain for funny things that happened between Noel and Javier…
