Happy Endings - ABC

Of ABC's three new comedies premiering September 2010, 'Happy Endings' if the best.

The pilot's opening scene finds Dave getting dumped by Alex at the alter. The wedding video becomes famous on YouTube. Dave hooks up with a young bimbo, then Alex comes home from her solo honeymoon wanting him back. But the crux of the story is really the group of friends who don't know how to all be together anymore due to the awkward situations.

ABC is hoping for a new version of 'Friends,' but this one falls short. I was bored. I kept wanting 'Happy Endings' to be funny, but instead it just laid down like a cold pancake. The ending was kind of fun, but you'll either be clipping your nails or running down the batteries on the remote long before you get to minute 22.

Scorecard for ABC comedies: 0-2.
