Lisa Kudrow joins Courteney Cox in 'Cougar Town'

The newest resident of "Cougar Town" is a pretty good Friend of Jules Cobb.

Courteney Cox's "Friends" co-star Lisa Kudrow will make a guest appearance on the ABC comedy later this season, the network confirms. Her episode will likely air in early 2010.

Kudrow will play a dermatologist that Jules (Cox) continues seeing despite the fact that "the doctor is mean to me."

"She's the best in town at what she does, and I become addicted," Cox tells TV Guide.

The "Cougar Town" guest spot will be Kudrow's first on-screen TV gig since her HBO series "The Comeback" in 2005. Her recent movie credits include "Bandslam" and "Hotel for Dogs," and she starred in and co-created an online series called "Web Therapy." She's also an executive producer of NBC's celeb-genealogy series "Who Do You Think You Are?," which is slated for later in the season.

ABC is so desperate, to take some former stars from NBC to help the messed up line up. Pathetic.

"Desperate"? Cougar Town is one of the most viewed new TV shows this season.

A sequel, even a 2-hr straight to DVD one, of THE COMEBACK is sorely needed! Either that or she needs her own show. Even if she does end up playing somebody's Aunt Sassy.

Jenifer Aniston is the real courage.
