Meanwhile, Happy Endings, which is in its second season, receives an order for six more scripts. The series revolves around the lives of a group of friends, living in Chicago, whose group is rocked when the couple that brought them together, Alex and Dave, break up.

  1. Happy Endings has developed a real cult-following and I’m glad to see it getting a nice boost out of Modern Family.
    @MuchoTB, it improved a heap through the first season and the most recent episode was hilarious. Well worth a second glance. Should pick up a nice audience behind How I Met Your Mother.

  2. I can’t see how Happy Endings got a second season when Friends With Benifits is a much better show and it looks like there won’t be another season.

  3. I like Revenge so far but it’s falling into a formula. Episode four was a little generic – the main character seeks revenge on a character that is featured in only one episode, and then brings them down in a public setting, usually involving a presentation of some sort like a speech or awards night. I like the characters though and can see this being a hit for Seven.

    Happy Endings is terrible, I’ll be surprised if this is a hit in Australia.
