Sorry. Just another Friends rip-off, including the pilot. Doesn't anyone remember that Friends began with Rachel's aborted wedding?
Nothing new or original there. Oh, yeah. One of the six is black and another is gay. That's enough to differentiate it from Friends? (Which got a lot of criticism in its day for having no black characters; it did have a gay one in the form of Ross's ex-wife). Easy to skip, in other words, you won't miss anything. BTW you left out "Mr. Sunshine" -- which had its moments, meaning a few flashes of originality. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2011 8:42 PM To: TVorNotTV Subject: [TV orNotTV] Re: Happy Endings Insofar as I have a rooting interest in what sitcoms make the fall schedule (and actually read every sitcom pilot script in one network's development slate), I went into this with a chip on my shoulder. (Damning-with-faint-praise alert!) I found it much better and funnier than "Mad Love" (despite my misguided love of Sarah Chalke and righteous love of Judy Greer). Watched both eps, back to back, and thought it had great promise. Not quite HIMYM, but less stagey and broad. Outlook: Promising.
