Happy Endings Season 3 Episode 12 The Marry Prankster Preview I read an earlier review comparing this show to 'Friends'. They
couldn't be more wrong. Sure, its got the typical cast of 3 main female
character and 3 main male characters, some who are in relationships and
some who are single, but this seems to be the norm to most new sitcoms
(ie. How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory etc.) This show on the
other hand is quite refreshing in a way that makes it comparable to
other popular past sitcoms, yet is original and different. Flashbacks
during scenes remind you of Scrubs and Family Guy yet do it in a way
that doesn't make it seem like they're stealing that idea. You've
really got to see it to know what I mean.
So far, while writing this review only four episodes have been shown, and quite honestly, I can't wait for the next one to come out. The characters all have their own unique qualities that make them interesting and i'm sure that as the series goes on we'll get to know more about them.
In my own personal opinion I would definitely recommend Happy Ending to anyone willing to open themselves up to a new sit-com.
I was recently introduced to this show by a friend and was left wondering why I've never watched it before. It's AWESOME! As a Chicagoan, the setting has an authentic feel and while I do recognize the Friends-esque setting, the characters are refreshing to me.
My favorites are Jane, Brad and Penny and, frankly, I could happily watch a show about those three alone. I love Jane (Eliza Coupe) and Brad's (Damon Wayans, Jr.) relationship - they are hilarious individually, but there's something magical about them together. They are amazingly kooky and have their own relationship shorthand, which is endearing. I can relate to Penny (Casey Wilson) on so many levels - she's just trying to get it right and she's so optimistic, even when everything goes wrong.
Max, Alex and Dave are good, too, but they don't pop for me the way the other three do. I do love that they didn't go obvious and flamboyant with Max. All six together do have a wonderful rapport.
