TLC pounces on ‘Extreme Cougar’

TLC is on the prowl for more “Extreme Cougar Wives.”

The network aired a special in November featuring three women who were dating men decades younger, including one 76-year-old New Yorker who never dates men over the age of 35.

The special did so well for TLC — 1.7 million viewers — that they are exploring the idea of a full season of cougars and their cubs.

“Are you a woman over 50 with an outgoing personality and amazing energy who is happily in love with a much younger man?” reads a casting notice was recently posted on realitywanted.com.

“Do you find that men your age just can’t keep up with your lifestyle, level of maturity or libido?”

TLC might have some competition. Another casting notice on the same Web site announces, “Major cable network casting couples with big age differences for new series!!”

The ad says the production company behind Bravo’s “Miss Advised” and ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is searching for couples with an age difference of at least 20 years.
