re: Happy Endings on Fridays now?

wow just wow.

This show is hilarious and has gotten alot better the last few eps. Definitely agree that another network should buy this show. TBS might be a good candidate since they bought Cougar Town too, a very underrated show.

Anyone have numbers on how well Cougar Town has done since moving to TBS??

And I liked happy endings but recently it just got to much for me. It's the same shitty character stuff. OMG ahh maaazzzz ing I can't find a boyfriend because I'm psycho
I'm dumb but hot
I'm crazy but hot and date a black guy
I'm like the whitest black guy ever but I'm funny and also go way over the top
I'm guy but its cool because I'm not super gay and fabulous so it's cool to be gay

They do play up the cliches, but you don't think AD did the same thing? Are you fricking blind?

I love AD, but the characters are annoying as shite. If I saw anyone of them on the street, I'd cross the street to punch them in the mouth.

Half of them are sociopathic. GOB is GOB. He's the incompetent guy who thinks too much of himself and constantly inflates his ego around others. Buster is a borderline mentally handicapped dolt who is stuck in phase 3 of childhood. The mother is psychotic. The sister is pretty much the same character as Hilary Banks minus the Valley Girl accent. And on and on and on. Just because they play their archetypes well doesn't mean they aren't archetypes.

I honestly think I'm not alone with that sentiment and wondered if Arrested Development, while admittedly one of the funniest and smartest shows I've seen, suffered because the characters were so developmentally arrested that they became aggravating.
