Happy endings dvd

A sitcom set in a big city that follows the lives of six friends in their 20s and 30s, two of whom are siblings, as they navigate life, love, and work — sounds familiar, right?

While it'd be easy to write off ABC's "Happy Endings" as a "Friends" knock-off, the short-lived series was, in many ways, an improvement on NBC's classic hit. Unlike those in "Friends," the main characters of "Happy Endings" are significantly more diverse, with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC characters making up the ensemble cast.

The jokes on "Happy Endings" are incredibly funny and biting — and, more importantly, didn't stoop to the frequent homophobic and fat-shaming punchlines of "Friends."

Unfortunately, "Happy Endings" was canceled after only three seasons (via Deadline).

In times past, such a short run would have relegated "Happy Endings" to a historical footnote in television history. However, thanks to its availability on myriad streaming platforms, "Happy Endings" continues to grow its audience, eight years after its series finale aired.
