The ABC sitcom sees Jules searching for love in a small Florida town, as she tries to get back into the dating scene.

However, Cox is far from the stereotype of an unattractive, desperate woman.

Critics have given the series mixed review, with many questioning Cox's suitability as a 'cougar'.

However Cox has revealed that she prefers her new role to the character of Monica in Friends.

She told the LA Times: 'I hope this show is a huge hit and that people love it. Because I like playing this character more than any character I've ever played.
