I thought it was just another comedy show with overly attractive people like New Girl or 2 Broke Girls with mediocre writing.
NOPE!
I heard it around people recommending the best comedy on TV this year, Parks and Rec, It's Always Sunny and this show kept on coming up (no one brought up Community so I guess that show really has waned).
Watch it, you won't be disappointed. Awful name though.
That chick from 24 (Elisha Cuthbert) is actually not annoying in this, kind of cute (no not in that Zooey way...*shivers*).
Also, Human Giant have guest-starred in it.
And Schmidt!
Agreed - quality show. I too thought that it was gonna be just a generic comedy show, but it seems like it's trying to do something a bit more interesting than simply being a clone of other shows of a similar genre. The really strong cast probably makes up a good deal of the appeal, though the writing is also really great. Incidentally, the Russo brothers (of Community fame) have also written for Happy Endings.
I watch it but I feel that it's only slightly better than most of the other "bad" comedies. Much of the cast comes off as unlikable to me but it can be really funny at times with a good example being when in a recent episode, Elisha Cuthbert's character had to do good on every "coupon" that she gave out as a gift and one involved her cooking a nice dinner then providing music as a DJ as the person ate.
They're pretty clever with shitting on Elisha Cuthbert on every chance since she's the big star in the show. Unlike New Girl, where all the attention is put on the big star, Cuthbert is basically the dumb girl, and never gets anything done right, even dates!

Agreed, but I think they've handled it pretty well. It would've been easy to make her into a run-of-the-mill ditsy blonde, but she's more goofy than straight-up idiotic, making her more endearing in the process.
