Courteney Cox's "Family Matter" Shuts Down Cougar Town

Cougar Town fans are waiting with bated breath to find out if Jules Cobb can lock down a younger man. But some real-life drama involving star Courteney Cox is going to keep that cliffhanger hanging a little longer.

"We can confirm production on Cougar Town has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter," ABC said in a statement Saturday.

A network rep declined to elaborate, and there was no immediate word on the nature of the problem from Cox's personal publicist.
