I'm still not sure how to document television within the format of the blog. I know I don't want to do single episode reviews, and waiting until a series is over could take years. For now, I'll write up whole seasons of currently-airing shows.
I started to really enjoy Happy Endings at the end of its first season,but fell in love hard when it came back in the fall. There wasn't a bad episode all season. When this is on in my house, it's rare to hear five consecutive seconds without us laughing. This is comedy that is both physical and wordy and clever. It goes for obscure film references and simple fart and fall-down jokes. The writers have been magnificently pulling jumbled and busy plots together into something great, while also fleshing out these silly characters into deeper, more emotionally engaging silly characters.
I highly recommend this series, and I hope desperately that it returns next fall.
