Reviews

jujii8 This is my first review ever, so please bear with me.Happy Endings was a terribly underrated and under-watched show that deserves very high praise. It blows both Friends and How I Met Your Mother completely out of the water (and trust me, I love both of those shows too). Each character was unique, well-developed, and hilarious! The show has a really distinct feeling to it. It was modern in the best kind of way. Penny, Max, Brad, and Jane were definitely standout characters for me. Alex and Dave were great too, but I have to admit they were not quite as interesting as the other four. Nevertheless, this show really let us get to know each character both individually and in the group setting. Plenty of memorable guest stars helped to round out the cast.The writing is smart and funny. There are inside jokes that are recurring throughout the series. I keep finding great jokes upon multiple viewings. It's both laugh-out-loud funny and make-you-think-a- little funny. This is the one show that I would pick if I could pick any show to come back onto the air. I would even give back season 4 of Arrested Development and the Veronica Mars movie (both of which I love) for more Happy Endings*. If you haven't seen this show, watch it right away and fall in love with this amazing group of friends like I did.*EDIT: Okay, I may have been a bit over-dramatic with that statement...
theolonius As for shows, I usually give them a lifeline of three episodes. With this particular show, it's the lowest rating I ever gave so far. Imagine a setup of any crude and original sitcom being pressed into a scheme of Cosby-humor at best. And it never got better. It has BORING written all over it. At now time, the humor/ the punchlines were hilarious, funny, original, crazy.Its a Frankenstein of jokes ripped right out of the last decades and - with a lot of force - pressed into a current show. Sorry for this rough and short review, but I was pretty shocked who disappointing this show was. If you ever have been living a regular life when you were 20-30, chances are your life was a lot more funny, ridiculous, special and noteworthy than these terrible scripts.To quote fictional Rick James, I wish I had four hands, to give this four thumbs down.
Ferenc Manfred Molnar At first, this show got my curiosity, because it's been aired right after 'HIMYM'. In Hungary, it's traditional to air 2 episodes every day, so after the first episode it was OK.BUT (!!!) even in the second episode, this show lost the main storyline. In 'HIMYM' it's working, because we see all of the side story lines of Ted's dating and friends. But in HE the main story in every episode is the bride's escape, and then there is nothing! While in 'HIMYM' there is always changing something, first Robin is the potential wife, then Stella... But there is only the main situation, and the episodes are kind of series of related scenes about 1 or 2 themes like 'Family Guy' and 'The Cleveland show'.The casts, and the dialogs sometimes embarrassing. (The last one maybe the translators mistake)
Fifi 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.Great show - I hope it's around a long time!
