Happy Endings -- "Like Father, Like Gun" -- 4/27/11

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Brad's uptight dad (guest star Damon Wayans) is in town for some serious health tests. When he gets an all-clear, he cuts loose with a new lease on life, something Brad has a hard time adjusting to. Meanwhile Penny meets a gorgeous Italian guy (Alex Valente); the problem is, he doesn't speak English, and Penny, who once studied in Italy, finds she can only speak the language when she's drunk.


Episode 5 of 13

I'm actually looking forward to this. The last 4 episodes have been pretty funny. Good casting choice for Brad's father

I noticed a few people commenting on the episode 3/4 thread. I know when people bump old threads, others assume those are the threads of record.

Just to let you all know, the ep 5 thread does exist. This fell to page 2. Watching this one right now.

OMG, this show is great I love it.

Penny: "OMG, He just pexted me"

Alex: "Pexted, what's that?"

Penny: "Penis Text"


Brad: "Oh no, Not in the Sex Nose"


For a show that co-stars Elisha Cuthbert, who would have thought that Casey Wilson would overshadow her in the hot department. Liked her in the little grey negligee and the hot leather mini skirt at the end. And she's hysterical too.

Loved the scene where Penny and Alex were getting wasted and Penny realized she spoke fluent Italian when wasted and Alex likes to eat ribs.

Damon Wayons was a fun guest star. I enjoyed all his scenes with Jr.

ABC made a mistake launching this in April at 10:00pm. I think this should have aired at the 8:30pm timeslot instead of Better with You or should have aired instead of Mr. Sunshine, which sucked. This cast has great chemistry.

Out of all the relationship sitcoms launched this season, this has become my favorite.

Didn't really like this episode all that much, but still enjoyed the Cuthbert scenes. Her face while eating the ribs was hilarious. And then her Mario impression was funny too.

Definitely my fav new show though.

Yeah she was.

That was great.

Penny looked quite delicious at the very end in that outfit. I am liking this show more and more with each episode. It's nothing great but it is highly watchable.

Some very good news ratings-wise.

Ratings were up at 10pm this week. 5.22M viewers and 2.1 in the demos. Up 30% from last week. Hopefully this show is catching on.

*raises hand*

Didn't care for the main storyline, but I think it's because I like Brad/Jane the least on the show. It was definitely a different feel with them in forefront for me. Loved Paul Scheer's cameo though.

Nobody does a creepy guy like Paul Scheer.

Good episode, this show is so much better than I thought it would be.

This show has definitely grown on me... and yes, I am referring to the end of the episode with Penny

Seeing Damon Wayans in this episode made me wish he was still on a tv show also..

You guys are out of your minds if you think Casey Wilson is hotter than Elisha Cuthbert. Elisha is pure perfection .

at the Wayans' in their matching track suits. Damon Wayans made for a great guest star.

Good news on the ratings front. With Traffic Light and Perfect Couples dying, it's nice to see we've got one good relationship comedy surviving.

Drav3n, Wayans is part of an upcoming pilot for CBS.

Don't remember the title, but its set in a news show atmosphere and also would star Eliza Dushku,

It's based on Colin Cowherds life, and I think that he plays Colin's character.
