	Media	Author	Review
		Linda Stasi New York Post	"'Happy Endings', which sounds like the special at a cheap massage parlor, is so funny I heard a noise I haven't heard in a very long time while watching a sitcom: the sound of me yelping so loudly it could frighten dogs. Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Paige Wiser Chicago Sun-Times	"Original, it's not. But these friends do have chemistry, and some great moments (...). Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"It is nothing new, but it is well assembled and expertly played"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"'Happy Endings' isn't unpleasant, certainly, but might face the same dilemma as its characters: An inability to make--or at least keep--enough new friends"
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"Some of the situations they encounter on the dating and relationship circuit are promisingly wacky, but the tortured jokes lean way too heavily on pop-culture references"
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"Created by David Caspe, 'Happy Endings' needs better writing and characters who don't look like characters in other forgettable sitcoms. Otherwise, this show's ending may be anything but happy"
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"'Friends' was not a shockingly original premise. It's what you do with it that matters, and Caspe and crew do almost nothing that doesn't feel secondhand and artificial. Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Fact is, shows like this will never stop oozing out of Hollywood's groupthink writing rooms. 'Perfect Couples', 'Better With You', 'Traffic Light' and now 'Happy Endings'--each of them flat and mediocre in their own not-very-special way"
