Happy Endings
 |
Forget who gets to keep the ring when a couple splits the real question is, who gets to keep the friends? In this modern comedy, a couple's break up will complicate all of their friends' lives and make everyone question their choices. When life throws you for a loop... hold on tight to the people you love. Every circle of friends has someone who's the gravitational center. For years, perfect couple Dave and Alex drew their friends in and held them together. Now that they've split, does this group have the stuff to stay together? Or do Max, Brad, Jane, and Penny have to choose sides? Suddenly every event is a negotiation. Like, who gets to go on the annual ski trip? There are a lot of big questions to be answered, but this group has been together so long, somehow, little by little, they'll figure out how to hold on, even though their center is split up. It helps that Dave and Alex have agreed to stay friends. But there will definitely be other complications down the road like Penny's long-suppressed feelings for Dave. What is the waiting period for dating a friend's ex? This show isn't afraid to ask the embarrassing personal questions that inevitably arise in every long-term, close-knit group of friends. This relatable comedy from executive producer Jamie Tarses (My Boys) and hot new writer David Caspe examines the complex network of long-term friendships. Just because one couple breaks up, does that mean their whole urban family has to fall apart? Nope. It just means life is going to get a lot more complicated. (Source: ABC)

Recaps
2x21: Four Weddings and a Funeral (Minus Three Weddings and One Funeral) recap: The episode begins, and apparently Eric and Derek are getting married—which would make their “Brangelina” combined name both “Eric” and “Derek” Alex notes—and Max forgot even thought their “Save the Date” was to be carted through the city streets like roman emperors (in costume of course) announcing, “We’re getting married, bitches!” Penny is excited because this is the first time she won’t be at the singles table; she has a date and at the mention of his name Brad calls time as they’ve all placed bets on how quickly she’d mention him. Dave and Max had seconds, Alex had hours but Jane had the exact time of three minutes... read more.2x20: Big White Lies recap: The episode begins with, Brad and Jane being hypersexual, much to the chagrin of Penny and Alex who are eating with them. Alex implores them to buy the lake house already so they don’t have to listen to Brad talk about his “big, black dock.” She then corrects herself. “I was supposed to say ‘African American’ dock. I’m sorry.” “Better,” Brad replies. Penny then tries to slump down to avoid a childhood friend who has returned to Chicago and apparently she’s been avoiding her since childhood. Childhood Friend comes over and suggests a tea party to get caught up. Penny instead lies about water damage, which she insists is easier because it spares a person’s feelings. Its then she notices Brad drinks tea, which she’d earlier had said was only for losers... read more.
2x19: You Snooze, You Bruise recap: The scene opens, and Max is extolling the virtues of the gym. Jane, Brad and Alex note that he fails to ever mention actually working out no matter how many times they ask. Jane can’t wait for an answer because there’s a meeting of the Homeowner’s Association of which she is unanimous 2-term president because “…it makes more sense to give someone complete power to suppress opposition and criticism.” Dave notes this is the definition of a fascist, but Jane is unrepentant. Brad also enjoys her position because of the benefits that befall him as “First Gentleman” including bribes of ham in exchange for parking spots. Penny arrives and immediately asks why Max is dressed like Josh Brolin from Goonies... read more.
2x18: Party of Six recap: The scene opens and Brad, Jane, Max, Alex and Dave are gathered while Alex complains that Penny is late for her own birthday party. Jane then reveals she invited everyone early to make sure they were on time. “You can’t go around daylight savingsing people” Alex insists. Jane doesn’t want anyone to ruin Penny’s birthday the way Dave did last year. “So long as Dave doesn’t bring anyone from DeGrassi Jr. High we’ll be fine,” Alex jokes. “Hey, if DeGrassi’s on the field, play ball,” Dave replies before apologizing for the message. This is when they begin looking back on how awful all of Penny’s birthday’s have been, from Brad accidentally knocking her out once to her 7th birthday where the clown had a stroke and almost died, which Jane thinks was hysterical... read more.
2x17: The Kerkovich Way recap: The episode begins with Alex waking up in bed next to Dave, the man she jilted at the altar. She sneaks out and as Dave later tells Brad, won’t talk to him. Brad suggests maybe she’s busy, but then corrects himself saying that it’s actually sad how Alex has no life. Finally Alex sees Dave but apparently has no memory of their night. Though this may have something to do with the ketamine-laced cough drops she recently tried. “I saw god. He’s black.” Max is still down over breaking up with Grant... read more.
