Murphy Brown and Rosanne came back as different shows because of the changing TV/political landscape, not because it had this cult following who want the exact same show on the air like the other shows. I didn't watch W&G or the AD reboot but 70-80% of previous Happy Endings would immediately be a top 3 network sitcom for me.

I still haven't ever seen the two-part finale.
I was sad when I realized this was an old post

I loved this show for what it was and it doesn't need to come back.

Agree, I guess, but I would LOVE an episode that recreated that table-read reunion above.

Re: Happy Endings - Season Finale - Deuce Babylove 2: Electric Babydeuce / Brothas & Sisters

The “Bitch Sesh” podcaster and “Black Monday” actor joined the Variety After-Show, presented by National Geographic, to break down the latest “Real Housewives of New York.”

Wilson rated the episode a nine out of ten, saying: “I was just laughing… I love these women. To what do we owe the pleasure that we’re back at fashion week with Beverly Hills and New York?”

After her “Happy Endings” co-star Eliza Coupe appeared in the livestream’s chat, Wilson also revealed to Variety that a charity reunion is in the works that will include new material.

“We’re going to do a little reading of something at this time,” Wilson said. “We’re gonna get together and do a little new material. Eliza and I are not going to lift one finger but the writers, they’re tapping away.”

Though there has been conversation surrounding a full reboot of the show, Wilson said that nothing has come to fruition.

“Every time we’ve tried it’s fallen apart and I’m just so upset,” Wilson said. “But then I’m like, do people want to see us at this age?”

When asked what her “Happy Endings” character, Penny Hartz, would be doing in quarantine, Wilson said that she would either be freshly broken up with or complaining about the fact that her wedding had to be canceled.

“I feel like she tried to rope a guy into quarantining with her and it didn’t work,” Wilson said.

As for what Wilson herself has been doing during this period of isolation, productivity is key. She revealed that she has been writing the movie “Theater Geek” with Mickey Rapkin, in addition to working on a book and attending to her two toddler-aged children.

The reunion will be streaming live this Monday at 7 pm EST: https://ew.com/tv/happy-endings-cast...-zoom-special/

Though I know that's pretty much the only way to do it nowadays, I'm not really a fan of the Zoom format for these reunions. But I'll take what I can get from this show. Man, it was axed way too soon.

I don't remember if I ever finished the series. I remember there was a long hiatus for the last batch of episodes.


I watched the YouTube zoom episode. Didn’t realize it would be scripted. It was ok. Apparently I haven’t watched this show since 2013, so I didn’t remember that much about the characters.

The Live Q&A talk show was “meh” - I gave up around 10 minutes. Lots of callbacks to episodes and since I didn’t remember much about the episodes, it was pointless for me.

The best way I can put it - this show is too old to remember all the plots and character personalities, but too recent to feel nostalgic about.

But great set of actors and Elisha Cuthbert has still got it

Been re-watching the series with my girlfriend over the last few months, and this reunion didn't miss a step. It was hilarious, and given the limitations of the zoom format, it still totally worked, and every character was still spot on. I loved it!

Why ABC axed 'Happy Endings'


By James Hibberd
Updated May 14, 2013 at 04:46 PM EDT



BOB D'AMICO /ABC

Happy Endings

Whhhhhhhy?

ABC’s entertainment chief Paul Lee was asked the Why? question during a conference call with reporters Tuesday morning: Why did the network dump Happy Endings? One reporter challenged the idea that the comedy wasn’t “on brand” for ABC, noting that two of the network’s newly greenlit comedies for next season, Super Fun Night and Mixology, feel like they’d be perfect companions for Happy Endings.

“I do think Happy Endings is absolutely on brand,” Lee said after the network unveiled its new fall schedule Tuesday. “What we found was it was just too narrow. It was a very hard decisions because, as you know, I love that show and I found it very hard to make that decision. On the same token, I think Super Fun Night and Mixology are broader shows that will bring in a wider audience. So: Hard decision, not happy at all to see it go, but we feel it was on brand and so is [Super Fun Night] and Mixology.”


“Too narrow” is, of course, network-speak for “low ratings.”

ABC declined to pick up the comedy for a fourth season before its upfront presentation to advertisers this week (along with some other under-performing comedies like Family Tools and Malibu Country). Happy Endings averaged 4.6 million viewers and a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 this season, though it dropped below a mere 1.0 rating in the overnights after the network moved the show to Friday nights. The show is currently being shopped to USA Network, so there’s still a possibility that it could live on.

Lee also addressed the canceling of Body of Proof, which is being shopped to cable. “We had a very strong season in terms of [new series] development,” Lee said. “I would love to see Body of Proof find a good home for itself.”

I enjoyed the reunion a lot. Pretty well done and with several very funny gags including Dave restaurant idea, the Parasite room, and Penny’s 9/11 tribute.

Terrible ratings and unowned. No other network/cable/streamer even bothered to pick it up. It was rightfully cancelled and lucky to even get a second and third season.

Re: Happy Endings - Season Finale - Deuce Babylove 2: Electric Babydeuce / Brothas & Sisters

So Happy Endings is now on HBO Max and it’s still such a joy to watch. But when I tried to watch an episode, I realized something : The order of Season One episodes is either totally wrong on VUDU or it’s totally wrong on HBO Max. It’s confusing, though I don’t know if the continuity is going to be much of an issue here. Still how are these shows numbered so differently after the Pilot?

The IMDB lists by broadcast date, and Vudu has that order.

While the continuity of Seasons 2 & 3 is much closer between the two services (though still not completely in the same order), one episode (Kickball 2 : The Kickening shows up in Season 2 on HBO Max and in Season 3 on Vudu. Thought I was missing out for a moment.

It was later revealed that the decision to air the episodes out-of-order was ultimately made by ABC.[64] The episodes later appeared in the intended order on the DVD release.[65]

The episode "Why Can't You Read Me?" was initially left unaired, however it later aired on August 24, 2011.
I remember watching it live back in the day and it was pretty jarring that it progressed up to episode 10 and then it was suddenly back to their wedding again.

ABC totally screwed the order up in S1 and that kickball episode, I thought, was reworked into S3.
