 HAPPY ENDINGS
Just watched the first two episodes. I thought it was going to suck but it was actually fairly amusing. I'll keep watching.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
I was pleasantly surprised. The male lead was bland and I'm not sure how much comedic material Elisha Cuthbert was really given, but I definitely liked the other four characters a lot and the jokes were pretty good.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
Yeah, I laughed. I liked the dark-haired girl and the gay guy best so far. Both were humorous.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
I was very surprised. I thought it was hilarious, especially Casey Wilson.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
I'm hoping it will last but it probably won't. Don't really think Cougar Town is a great lead-in ratings-wise.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
TV.com liked this show, and their two favorite characters are mine. We have so much in common  . http://www.tv.com/happy-endings-had-us- ... ;gumball;1

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
This show is HILARIOUS. Tonight's episodes were awesome. It does pop culture references better than so many shows on the air right now, including "Community."

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
So while watching the third episode I laughed my ass off when Penny was asking Alex would she date if she was in a trap and cougar was after her and Alex said: "That's crazy. Why would that happen...?" I missed like everything after that moment because I was laughing sooo loud, so I had to rewind to hear what they were saying after. And I was disappointed to hear that Penny killed the joke by explaining that would happen if you father was the head of an anti-terrorist agency and he had 24 hours or whatever... It was a total overkill. If people didn't get the cougar joke (it's the most infamous thing in the whole 24 series) then not even "the explanation" would help. Is a joke really a joke if you have to explain it?????

I agree be.redy. It went on too long.
Enjoyed the episodes last night though. The second was especially funny.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
Despite not having Modern Family to anchor the night and despite Cougar Town being down from last week (and tieing season low): Quote: Happy Endings recovered sharply from last week, up 17% to a 2.1 rating. Full articleBodes well for HE.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
That's great! Very encouraging. I thought for sure it was going to do poorly without new episodes of Modern Family last night.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
Awesome!  I absolutely love this show. It's hilarious. Penny's drunk Italian last night was HYSTERICAL.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
Just watched the last three episodes. This show is really funny! Like, really funny. Surprising. I hope it's renewed and once again paired with Cougar Town because their humor is similar (read: unapologetic goofiness).

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
ABC is doubling up Happy Endings again! Two episodes a week for the following three weeks...

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
The Middle/Better With You/Modern Family/Cougar Town/Happy Endings/Happy Endings... There's nothing after HE... Local news I guess.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
Enjoyed tonight's episodes. I personally can't see this show ever really catching on though. If it could get to 6 Million or above that would be great.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
Dodging bullets was awesome. And they didn't kill the Cocoon reference by explaining it!

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
I hate to say this, but I look forward to this and "Cougar Town" more than "Modern Family" at this point.

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
It's unlikely this show is going to make it. Dropped big this week. http://www.deadline.com/2011/05/ratings ... ore-128809

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
Awesome episodes tonight. Might actually be the best pair aired together yet. Please, please let this show make it!

 Re: HAPPY ENDINGS
From what I've been hearing this is looking fairly good for renewal. Apparently it has a lot of support at ABC. There just seems to be a lot of positive buzz about it. I think they'll give it another shot.
