pilot for the new eliza coupe vehicle on usa, a law/career woman comedy

COUPE!

And with Michaela Watkins writing! Should be good.

the Happy Endings cast member sitcom diaspora and the Women Lorne Michaels Did Not Like As Much As Kristen Wiig sitcom diaspora keep overlapping and doing good work

lol

Coupe was best thing about this show

The best thing about this show was everyone

Except Dave. I know Dave had to be there in order for the show to function, but I never liked him.

that's so Dave!

Dave won me over sometime around when the show started being consistently great... probably just after the beginning of season 2

V necks

Dave (and Dave Sr.) was (are) responsible for one of my top 5 Happy Endings things - the "Mr. Rose was the name of my father." "But... that's me." bit.

Dave's dance at the start of the very last episode, when everyone disappears from the kitchen, is amazing

ok i've been out of the loop with this show (and happy endings) ... am i the only one more than a little FREAKED OUT at how much wayans jr takes after his dad?? holy moly. at first i was like dang damon wayans is looking good these days. i mean obviously i am an idiot. but really. it is astonishing.

Dude's funnier than his dad.

his dad maybe a little more earnest? but they have really similar timing.

ok i have now confirmed via the internet that that is the general consensus. apologies for bringing such a tired observation to the table.

anyway, thank you thread for alerting me to his, and this show's existence

yeah Dave started out being the archetypal Male Sitcom Lead Who Is Not Actually Funny and then got really really funny, partly because they played off of how lame he is so well

AKA The Britta track

Haha, yeah sorta. Except I still don't like Dave most of the time except for the odd gag.

Dave's 1/16th Navajo schtick during the Thanksgiving episode was amazing

Ross was a crap character in Friends until they made his inherent lameness the joke in later seasons. See Dave as kind of the same

If you want to hear COUPE! talk about shit for half an hour (and do it hilariously), here's the podcast episode for you: http://doodiecallswithdougmand.libsyn.com/doodie-calls-eliza-coupe

Also, Adam Pally (but I haven't listened to this one yet): http://doodiecallswithdougmand.libsyn.com/doodie-calls-with-doug-mand-adam-pally

The Pally one is one of the funniest ever iirc.

It was quite good. I was trying not to just completely lose it at my desk.

Watched the first two episodes of Benched. Coupe is as lovely as ever but it's got that familiar USA veneer of mediocrity. Hope it gets better and they give Maria Bamford more to do.
Marry Me pilot was a better start, glad it's doing OK ratings-wise for NBC.

omg what does this meeeeeaaaaannnnn https://twitter.com/happywrites/status/563844694820405248

like, half of the Happy Endings cast have left their post-HE shows (Wayans, Pally) or their shows have been cancelled (Coupe)

though there's still the other three, but honestly save Wilson, who I also liked, the other two who have work lined up were the weakest so I'm fine with a new, streamlined Happy Endings with just Wayans, Coupe, and Pally

I realize I'm getting far too ahead of myself here

If anyone thinks that series Elisha Cuthbert is on will last beyond a few airings, they're mistaken. And I haven't been following Marry Me at all, but I'd have to think Casey Wilson could pull double duty since her husband's the boss and also created Happy Endings.

I haven't seen Zachery Knighton since the last episode of Happy Endings.

As one commenter pointed out, this might just be the day that Happy Endings shows up on streaming platforms.

It warms my heart to think that Wayans and Pally left their much more successful shows to do Happy Endings again

As for the show appearing on streaming platforms, it is, or was, on Netflix, at least here in Canada. I know because I tried to convert some friends with a few episodes, they weren't into it :((((

shoot, didn't know Wayans Jr. was leaving New Girl again. bummer.

Pally was one of the few revolving door supporting players on The Mindy Project who really fit into the show and was used well, shame to see him go. and New Girl w/ Wayans is so great, bummed that he's doing too. they better both be doing lots of good shit in the near future to justify all this.

this was truly a great tv show

weird loners is really good

Is it? I haven't watched (and neither has America, it appears).

watched it last night; I loved it, my wife hated it

i thought the pilot was all right. forgot about the show though, i should catch up

Umm, so I liked Marry Me more than most people (which is to say I liked it just fine, and most people I think just hated it), is it coming back or what? I think it was just put on "hiatus" by NBC but it hasn't been cancelled yet so it's been in limbo for months now.

5 minutes of the weird loners pilot was more than enough

hey wait shit, what happened with the countdown?

It was the dumbest april fools joke ever.

Marry Me silently reappeared on the schedule a few weeks ago. I like it enough, but it's probably not coming back.

where do you live? they aired the last 4 produced episodes in the UK but they haven't aired at all in the US.

in the US - i didn't see the eps on air but I think I saw them get added to my cable On Demand service
but in all honesty i could have imagined it

ok i checked, and i TOTALLY imagined it. damn. i must've been glancing at a tv schedule site or app

well, both Marry Me and Weird Loners are officially cancelled

waaaaah

Pally was on @midnight Monday and it looked like he'd neither been working recently nor had any plans to do so in the near future. Suspect he hadn't even showered in a couple days.

now with the mindy vanity project canceled AP is truly outta work :/
