What do you think? Do you still like the Happy Endings TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
LOVE the show!!!!!!!!!! One of the few shows that really can make me laugh!!!!!
kill it. this show sucks way 2 much….its just a waste of a time slot. look at these numbers can you honestly say a show with 2.07 M should be renewed? no.
Love this show!!! It is by far one of the best shows out there right now! Please please don’t cancel it!!!
I too think that the show was hurt by moving nights, and losing its connection to Modern Family on Wed didn’t help either. I assume many set in for a night of comedies than abc got greedy and tried to make 2 big comedy nights instead of one good one.
I really like this show, and I thought it was gaining momentum after being paired with “Don’t Trust the B”, but it looks like people have tuned out of both shows this year. Both shows have lost half their audience from last season. Wonder what all of those people are watching this year??
renew it, show is super funny. and i love the characters
Happy Ending ratings have been hurt because its been moving around too much and during election season, it wasn’t on consistently on Tuesdays.
I think Happy Endings has the potential to keep doing good but only time will tell how the ratings could hold up. I didn’t think I would care much for this show but after a few episodes I’ve enjoyed it.
[…] season 3 ratings […]
