Got around to seeing the final 4 unaired episodes. Liked them a lot, kinda bummed me out there would be no more after that. Was really turning into a fun little show I could see myself wanting to watch for a few more seasons. Oh well, figured it was coming since NBC cancels all their comedies these days. I'm a Happy Endings devotee, so I'll follow Caspe and Wilson to the end of the earth until one of their shows lasts more than a season or two, better luck next time guys! (may I suggest going to cable, where they aren't so cancel-happy?)

I don't really remember too many sketches where she got to be funny, most of her airtime was spent playing bit parts and straight roles from what I remember. But I did love her in this sketch (vimeo.com/81598076) though playing a paralyzed strip club dancer. I think that was the first time I realized she was really funny, up until Happy Endings, when I really started to love her. As for this episode, I thought it was pretty enjoyable, if a bit too silly a plotline. I liked Michaela Watkins' character a lot, so I was a bit bummed Annie quit her job because it probably means we won't see anymore of her. If this show doesn't get renewed, I really hope there's something to those rumors about Happy Endings possibly getting revived. I do think something is happening, the writers aren't saying what it is exactly, but it's something. I'm still not getting my hopes up that that SOMETHING is actually a revival or not though.

I think this is the last scheduled episode as of now. I think The Voice is 2 hours up until the new NBC sitcoms start in mid-March. So no idea if we'll ever even get to see the remaining 4 episodes. I hope they at least put them online if they never end up airing them on tv, would at least like to see how the series ends. Wilson and Watkins were both fired together: http://www.tvguide.com/news/snl-fires-michaela-1009486/ I think Slate was one of their replacements, then she got fired that next year. Sometimes I don't get SNL with the way they fire so many talented people.

Saw on twitter that Annie's boss in this one is played by Michaela Watkins. Always enjoy her, and nice to see her and Casey reunited after spending a single season together on SNL only to both be fired together at the end of said SNL season. She also played Ken Marino's wife (her and Ken were highlights in that movie) in Wanderlust, so she has some history with this cast.

Haha I was just about to post that I love finding out that was Kay's full name.+ Jake: "How did I just now realize that?"

Yeah, I've seen that pointed out, so it makes me suspicious. Whoever runs that site was known to pull some pranks on April Fools in the past like changing to account to "Friends Writers / Saved By the Bell Writers" every April Fools. But fuck, this guy (not exactly sure who runs that account, is it multiple writers?) wouldn't be that cruel would he??? Dont toy with our emotions like this! Some suggested it might be something not as exciting like Netflix getting access to stream all the episodes starting April 1 or something. That could make sense, don't they usually get new streaming stuff at the start of every month? Also people have now pointed out they unfollowed everyone they follow and now only follow 4 twitter pages - Netflix, Amazon, Yahoo Screen and Hulu. Hahaha Whattttt??? Is this person purposely fucking with us and trying to get everyone to freak out? Also they've been retweeting everyones messages to them like "Please please please be true" and "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???" Damnit, this better lead up to something and not just be a cruel prank!

Funny you should mention that. Has anyone been following whats been going on with the old @happywrites twitter last night?? http://tvline.com/2015/02/07/happy-endings-revival-rumor-writers-tweet-new-day-message/ WHAT COULD IT MEAN????

I've noticed their strategy seems to be Casey wearing a lot more PJs in the recent episodes. Also, I'm glad they finally gave Kay a significant development. Often times it seems like the writers forget she exists. Ana Ortiz (Kay's GF) is supposed to be reappearing throught the rest of the season I've heard.

A lot of the lines from Jessica St. Clair seemed like they could've been improvised. I know they've said Caspe runs a real loose set on both this and Happy Endings and lets them play around with the lines in stuff a lot. Thought it seemed more obvious during Jessica's scenes (Jess is a legendary UCB improviser afterall) it always looked like Casey was trying not to laugh during a lot of the scenes with her, like when she kept touching her face. I found this one pretty enjoyable mostly because of her scenes, too bad she isn't a more frequent guest. I recommend her show Playing House on USA if you haven't seen it. Really funny stuff.

I didn't mind this one. I love Jessica St. Clair's bitchy Julie character. re: the Happy Endings style one-liners not working as well here I think the problem is other than Casey Wilson and Tymberlee Hill (surprising, since shes the only one in the cast who never appeared on HE) nobody else in the cast really has a good handle on properly delivering Caspe's trademark writing style with the snappy back-and-forths and mile a minute clever one-liners. Sidenote: Funny you mention you want a series with just Casey and Tymberlee... definitely check out Hotwives of Orlando on Hulu, they both star in it (along with lots of other funny ladies, one of the them is also Danielle Schneider who plays Gil's ex-wife, who I also noticed co-wrote tonights Marry Me) and it's hilarious. Hulu just picked it up a new season taking place in Las Vegas where they're all playing new characters.

Yeah, probably my least favorite episode. Too bad coming off probably my favorite episode with the last one. But "The Boyz" were the most annoying characters ever and were hard to tolerate a whole episode of. Always been kinda "eh" on Jerry O'Connell, but I normally love Steve Little - love him as Stevie from Eastbound & Down! And yes, that was "Blax" from Happy Endings, he's another actor I normally like. Can't think of his name, but he was great on Adult Swim's NTSF:SD:SUV. There was another blink-and-miss-it Happy Endings shout-out this week that I missed until I saw someone bring up, Gil and Dennah were picking up food at a hot dog place called "Dogs in Heat", which you might remember was a hot dog truck that was one of Dave's competitors. Known for their catchy commercial jingle: "Dogs in Heat, It's the treat that's mostly meat! Dogs in Heat, can't be beat!" Followed by Dave's classic response: "But their meat can be beat! I will beat their meat! Damnit, now i miss Happy Endings again. :(

Hey cool. Just noticed Ken Marino, John Gemberling, and Tymberlee Hill are the guest comedians on tonights @midnight on Comedy Central

Thats what I felt too, this was about the same period in Happy Endings (around episodes 10-13) when most people seemed to agree that the show was finding it's footing after it's slow start with it's awkward-but-shows-lots-of-promise first season. Sadly I don't know if it'll matter at this point, because NBC is probably going to cancel all their comedies again this season.

"And I voted for the black guy.... in BuzzFeed's "Whos Your Favorite Happy Endings Character?" poll." HA! That might be my favorite line of the season, no matter how strange it is that Happy Endings exists in this universe and Annie apparently watchs it. Perhaps in a future episode we'll find out Annie's secret identity is actress Casey Wilson. FYI, there really is a "Which Happy Endings character are you?" poll: http://www.buzzfeed.com/christianzamora/which-happy-endings-character-are-you I kinda remember Casey in an interview talking about taking that BuzzFeed quiz and she would always get Brad.

Some eagle eyed viewers on Reddit noticed this Happy Endings shout-out last night
