ABC's "Happy Endings" Discussion (2011-2013)

Trailer

It's got Elisha Cuthbert and Eliza Coupe (who's one of the funniest chicks I know) so I am in.

Have they re-casted since upfronts...I remember Knighton but I don't remember anybody else. I only remember this show because of his couch singing, lol and Damon Jr looks exactly like his old man, lol.

[Gamma_Winstead]

It's a midseason show. So, that's probably why.

As soon as I started watching the first few seconds I remembered the couch scene, but I really do not remember Eliza or Damon.

I went to prom with her in HS. She was just as funny back then.

I didn't realize she got another pilot. Great for her. She did a whole HBO mini-series and they didn't even air it.

Did you really, or is this like an IMDB forum comment?

Oh I did. I'll have to dig up the old photos. It sucked because I stepped on a drinking glass the morning of and sliced an artery in my foot. The doctor told me to stay home but I said I had a date, rented a tux etc. He asked if she was hot, I said most definitely. He replied, I would go to prom then. So I went swollen and bleeding, but still had a good time.

We were more friends than anything else since she lived across the street. We were in a lot of school plays together. I would be her father one year, and then her nephew the next. Good times, good times.

[Gamma_Winstead]

I'd be her daddy anytime.

Sounds like one town over from me, they're all their own grandpa's and uncle daddies and cousin brothers. Country life.

Ha! Sounds like Futurama, "Shut up Mr. I'm my own grandpa."

Sounds like someone over at Futurama was a Ray Stevens fan.

Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grownup daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her, and soon they too were wed

This made my Dad my son-in-law and really changed my life
For now my daughter was my mother, 'cause she was my father's wife
And to complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad
For if he were my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grownup daughter, who was of course my stepmother

Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
'Cause now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa,
I'm my own grandpa,
It sounds funny, I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

Wow, she's changed a lot, but you can still see the resemblance, especially around her eyes. I cannot comment on how much you've changed though, as this is your only photo I've seen.

Not sure this show is any good but 3 of my favourite shows are either ending or being canceled soon so running out of shows to watch. Will give it 2-3 more episodes unless the next episode flat-out sucks.

[fatediesel]

I didn't mind the first two episodes. I certainly didn't think it was great but it wasn't horrible. It's amazing how much Damon Wayans Jr. looks like his dad. I wasn't a fan of Casey Wilson's character, but didn't mind the other characters.

The show had solid ratings for the first two episodes, with the first episode getting a 2.7 rating and the second episode getting a 2.3. It's too early to judge the show's future because as the link states Happy Ending's ratings were lower than the premiere of Mr. Sunshine, which had a 3.7 rating when it premiered but fell to a 1.6 rating last week, but the show isn't DOA. There is a lot of speculation that ABC is going to add another hour of sitcom programming next season and Better With You is likely going to be canceled so the show has a chance.

I thought it was hilarious, in a dumb humor sort of way.

I was surprised I laughed as much as I did, the gay dude is hilarious, the straight gay guy, not the stereotypical ridiculously gay guy. And chicksand? AWESOME!
