    It got the best ratings of any comedy after MF but they move it to a terrible timeslot and kill it. That one is totally on ABC.

    Maybe FX or TBS will pick them both up.

    That's basically my hope for every TV show I like.

    Here's a Grantland piece on the cancellations of Apt 23 and Fox's Ben and Kate, along with commentary about the Tuesday night sitcoms and the state of sitcoms on network TV.

    Surveying the Aftermath of the Tuesday-Night Comedy Shake-up

    By Andy Greenwald on January 24, 2013 5:54 PM ET [​IMG]Karen Neal/ABC/Jennifer Clasen/Fox
    It wasn't a very funny week for fans of culty comedies. Within about 24 hours, ABC evicted Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 from its Tuesday-night perch, and Fox did the same with its freshman flop Ben & Kate. Both shows have filmed episodes remaining — eight for the former, six for the latter — though neither network has announced any sort of plan to air them. The big bad C-word — cancellation — is about as popular around television these days as another C-word. (Community — what did you think I meant?) Instead, both networks are referring to the shake-ups as "rescheduling." But come on. Even Dawson knows what's up.
    Though sudden, neither move was particularly surprising. Despite some vocal adherents, the viciously manic Don't Trust the B, created by former MacFarlane-ite (MacFarlaneista?) Nahnatchka Khan, was a tough sell to mainstream audiences more accustomed to seeing cartoons in actual cartoon form. Despite a fierce central performance from Krysten Ritter, the show was only averaging 3.6 million viewers per week. Ben and Kate, from onetime Femperor Dana Fox, was pulling even fewer eyeballs — 3.1 million by last count — and struggled from the get-go. The show's central conceit — single mother must raise precocious moppet and her immature doof of a brother — was solid enough. But everything went wobbly in the execution, with Dakota Johnson (who replaced Abby Elliott after the pilot phase) able to sell the heart but not the humor and Nat Faxon, as the juvenile Ben, treating every scene as a chance to do a cannonball dive into a shallow pool. If there's a silver lining here, it's that the cancellation frees up the truly bonkers Lucy Punch — the funniest thing in either of these shows, even when she's only playing with straws — for a better, though hopefully no less lascivious, next shot.
    I've written repeatedly of late that network comedy is having its own quasi–Golden Age. But all the creativity in the world isn't doing much for commerce: NBC's once-bright Thursday night is now a charity ward for highly regarded, little-watched half-hours and, after a promising start, even the Peacock's would-be savior, Go On — a show touted as a more accessible Community — is quietly tanking. As pointed out in this smart piece from Macleans, the networks haven't launched a legitimate, non-CBS comedy hit since Modern Family in 2009. Part of that may be due to the networks' tendency to chase the big dog: The development slates of all four are littered with the corpses of halfhearted attempts to make not the next Modern Family, but another Modern Family. But part of it is also due to timing: There's no real evidence that either Don't Trust the B or Ben and Kate were liable to turn things around, but most great comedies took at least a full season to get that way. Pulling the plug now — as opposed to before the season or after it — is the worst of all worlds, leaving ABC and Fox with big holes to fill and no idea of what to try next.
    In light of this flailing, I find the moves the two networks didn't make to be just as interesting as the ones they did. For example, the gloriously loopy Happy Endings — to my mind, one of the best shows on all of television — remains on the air, despite barely treading water in its third season with an average of 4.5 million viewers. But ABC, thankfully, seems almost unhealthily invested in the series. (It helps, of course, that unlike Don't Trust the B, which hailed from 20th Century Fox across town, Happy Endings is a co-production of ABC Studios and Sony Pictures Television.) With the Apartment vacated, Happy Endings will air two original episodes per week until ending its season, as planned, in March.
    ABC president Paul Lee seems to appreciate Happy Endings both on its merits — you try gathering a cast that good again — and for its perceived value in attracting younger viewers to what has become an older, female-skewing network. The Macleans article suggests that Lee may be developing Rebel Wilson's pilot, Super Fun Night, precisely to partner with Happy Endings. But these sorts of demographically attractive pairings seem, more and more, to be a concept better suited to the boardroom than to reality. Linking Happy with The B in the first place was just such a move. And Fox attempted the exact same idea — unfortunately, on the exact same night — with its Tuesday comedy block, a move that, in Ben and Kate, already has its first casualty. It's potentially not its last: The Mindy Project is barely scraping by, with 3.8 million viewers. Even so, Mindy Kaling seems to have taken a much more aggressive attitude when it comes to fixing things on the fly, and that, coupled with network president Kevin Reilly's admitted fandom, makes the show a good bet to finish the season and a decent one to get another year.
    The biggest loser in all of these Tuesday-night shenanigans may actually be the biggest hit. In its second season, Fox's New Girl has seen its ratings stagnate even as its quality has soared. I've heard talk from people associated with New Girl that they wished very much that Reilly had, in fact, shown less faith in their show — allowing it time to become a legitimate hit before being used as the anchor for an entire night of programming. But time is something those involved in broadcast programming seem to have less and less of these days, particularly when it comes to comedy. Reilly was hoping the promising spark of New Girl's first season might ignite an entire — and entirely marketable — night; it's hard to blame him for trying, even though it appears to have blown up in his face. The old model of sitcoms finding their sea legs — and their audiences — over a period of years has been reduced to a matter of weeks. (By way of comparison, Seinfeld didn't move to Thursdays at 9 p.m. until its fifth season.) And it's not like the broad comedies that NBC's been fastidiously chasing have done much better: The anemic Whitney and Guys With Kids are likely to be next on the chopping block. More and more, the best network comedy occurs when the creators chase their weirdo muses down the nichiest of rabbit holes, creating bananas drinking games and inventing impossibly filthy new euphemisms for sex. It's good for us, but not for people like Reilly and Paul Lee. Until they figure out how to convert online enthusiasm into concrete data, no sitcom is truly safe, no matter how many hysterical Tumblrs it inspires.

    Dave has been so good this season. I give the HE writers a lot of credit because after season 1 they had to figure out what to do with Alex and Dave and in season 2 they made Alex great and this season they found the sweet spot with making Dave so douchey. I mean Alex is sometimes the funniest on the show now and never would have guessed that in the first season.

    Some future goings ons for season 3, from HuffPo....

    • Mark Paul Gosselaar, who's carved out a nice comedy career for himself (he was also very funny on "Don't Trust the B"), will return as Chase, who wants to ruin his former roommate Max's life, but then he "realizes Max may not have a life to ruin. So Max, resenting this, begins to build a life, with Jane's help. But only for an episode -- he'll still be Max," Groff said. Also returning: Rob Corddry as the Jane's boss, the Car Czar. "His marriage is busted up and he takes a fancy to one of the people in our group, which is a problem for Jane and Brad," Groff noted.
    • David Alan Grier is guest starring as the owner of Chuckles and Huggs, the kids' gym where Brad works. "He's kind of an unstable dreamer of a guy, so Brad has to rescue the business and in doing so is reminded how much he loves business," Groff said. "He'll end up back in the finance world."
    • Penny's wedding gets her to reconnect with her long-lost dad, who'll be played by Andy Richter. "He plays a failed actor who lost touch with Penny and her mom, but is now successful with a company called Roy's Hard Mimosas (canned brunch beverages)," said Groff, who added that the actor/Conan sidekick is shooting his episode this week. "Andy's been great already: funny, sweet, a guy who you forgive for not being a part of Penny's life but who you want her to be in touch with now."
    • "Dave gets into a steak war with The Brazilian, a rival truck owner who uses some dirty tactics to steal Dave's customers and [his] primo parking spot," Groff said. "In a Romeo and Juliet twist, Max gets involved with the Brazilian's handsome son. Brad, a fan of star-crossed romances and business competition, is conflicted."
    • To cool off an epic war between Alex and Jane (instigated by Max, of course), Brad has to take extreme measures, which include finding their Serbian nana. Obviously, there will be Serbian folk dancing: the Sestra Ples (the Sister Dance).
    • "Megan Mullally and Michael McKean return as Penny's mom Dana and Dave's dad, Big Dave," Groff said. "They are going strong and have a big announcement to make, forcing Penny and Dave to once again examine their own friendship and [their] possible bizarre midlife step-sibling relationship."

    Max is entering a...wait for it...gay beauty pageant. Yes, you read that right. There's even a category called "Gay Fitness." And it's up to Dave and Alex to help him win. And that is how we get a flashback to Dave's childhood where he sings "I Got You, Babe" dressed as half Sonny Bono and half Cher. We could not love this show more.

    ABC moves 'Happy Endings' to Fridays

    by Sandra Gonzalez
    Tags: ABC, Television, TV Biz, TV Scoop, News
    Happy Endings has found a new timeslot home, but fans of the comedy are probably not going to be too happy about this move.
    ABC announced today back-to-back episodes of Happy Endings will air Fridays starting March 29 at 8 p.m. ET. The move comes after Endings has bounced around ABC’s schedule for a few months, first relinquishing its Tuesday nights and then being pulled from Sundays, where it took up a brief residence.
    In a release announcing the midseason shuffle, ABC said the switch will not affect Last Man Standing or Malibu Country because both will have concluded their seasons by then.
    Per this just-announced schedule change, Tuesday nights will also see a shift, with ABC airing back-to-back reality shows. Celebrity Wife Swap will premiere a new season Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. and cooking competition The Taste will move back one hour to 9 p.m. As previously announced, the Dancing With the Stars results show is scheduled to take over 9 p.m. starting March 26.

    Happy Endings' Elisha Cuthbert Named Most Beautiful Woman on TV by Maxim


    Canada has gifted us many treasures (John Candy, maple syrup, hockey fights), but none have inspired such lusty American fervor as the pouty-lipped bombshell Elisha Cuthbert. We really got to know Elisha in her breakout role as 24’s catastrophe-prone Kim Bauer, where she routinely put her dad in near-death situations. (Hey, who hasn’t?) These days on ABC’s Happy Endings, she’s once again irresistible as Alex, an enthusiastic ditz whose passions include Woody Allen and, uh, oversize sausages. So take a seat poolside and enjoy Elisha’s fourth Maxim cover shoot. Bow down before the most beautiful woman on television!

    See Elisha Cuthbert's Gallery

    [​IMG]
    You’ve been named Maxim’s Most Beautiful Woman on Television. Congratulations! Well-deserved.
    That’s very flattering, and I sincerely thank you, but I think you’re all crazy! To think that one person could be the most beautiful when there’s Kaley Cuoco, Sofía Vergara, Zooey Deschanel? They’re all stunning. I’m not gonna fight anyone about it, though. I’ll accept it with grace. But being on a show with two other beautiful women, this is gonna make going to work very uncomfortable. I don’t know, this might be a curse.

    Happy Endings is one of the funniest ensemble comedies on TV. We’ve noticed that the show never misses an oppor­tunity to take a crack at John Mayer, which we appre­ciate.
    We’ll take a crack at any­body. No one is safe! I think it’s genius on the part of the writers, because our generation is so saturated with pop culture that it’s impossible not to incorpo­-rate it into our dialogue. Bradley Cooper’s been on the chop­ping block a few times. Even Ryan Gosling, for wearing man-scarves.

    Aren’t you supposed to be in love with those guys, like every other woman in America?
    It’s funny you mention that, because in interviews everyone is always asked who their celebrity crush is, and I haven’t had one since Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block, when I was 12. Now I just say Oprah. I love that woman. She’ll go to someone’s house and bring a huge bucket of oranges she picked from her Santa Barbara home. Oprah, when did you have time to pick two dozen oranges from your garden?

    Did you tune in for her interview with the Kar­dashians? She went pretty easy on them.
    Well, the Kardashians are pretty tough to reckon with right now. They’re kind of taking over the world. I wouldn’t start any beef with them, either…I love all the Kardashians!

    You got your break as Kim Bauer on 24, an intensely dramatic show. How did the Happy Endings folks know you could do comedy?
    Because of my ridiculous antics off-set. I don’t think they hired me because I was funny, I’m gonna be honest. But during the first season, David Caspe, the creator, saw me goofing around doing a dance with an invisible hula hoop, and he was laughing. When we came in to do season two, he said, “You wanna add your dance into this scene?” He passed me the baton, and it kind of snowballed from there. And now I’m at a place where I’m willing to try anything.

    As in the hilarious scene from last year’s Christmas episode where you participate in a dance-off with a battery-operated “Hip-Hop Santa”?
    I got a lot of love for that scene. It blows my mind that people were digging my moves. Maybe they didn’t expect me to have any sort of rhythm? I can move, guys!

    Happy Endings isn’t filmed before a live audience. How do you get comedic feedback?
    Sometimes when I’m on a plane, I’ll watch someone who’s watching the show. I’m just secretly watching to see if they’re gonna laugh. Then they turn around, and I give a creepy wave.

    Your costar Damon Wayans Jr. is basically American comedy royalty. Did you grow up watching his family like the rest of us?
    Major Payne was always in my VHS. That movie was so funny. I’ll say the line, “Kill­in’ is my business, laaadiiiees!” seven million times in a row. And I actu­ally got the chance to talk to Damon Sr. and tell him what a huge film that was for me. I know it’s not Schindler’s List, but it’s awesome.

    You recently became engaged to hockey player and fellow Canadian Dion Phaneuf. But was there ever a time in your single days when you could relate to the character you played in Old School—the girl who’s totally cool with one-night stands?
    No, not really. That’s one of those characters that every guy wishes was the case. That’s what movies are all about, the fictitious character you can only dream about.

    Speaking of fantasy characters, your turn as a porn star in The Girl Next Door is pretty high up there on that list.
    To be honest, I think one reason guys liked that character so much is because I didn’t go fully nude. My character really could be the girl of every guy’s dreams, instead of having them see her naked and going, “Oh, that’s not my thing.” Remem­ber Weird Science? Kelly LeBrock never got naked. She didn’t show you every­thing. I think that’s why it resonated with more men than it probably should have.

    One of the scenes in The Girl Next Door was shot at an actual porn convention. What do you remember about that?
    I remember I had a lot of real porn stars tell me I was like their Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman. Nice sentiment but, you know, a little awkward.

    So once and for all: Is the 24 movie ever going to happen?
    I’ll be 60 years old by the time we do that thing! I know it exists. It’s out there. But when are we going to do it? You’re asking the wrong person. Kiefer is Jack Bauer, and Jack Bauer knows everything. You’ll have to ask that guy.

    Still don't get the hate for NBC. They might have a lot of shitty shows, but they've consistently had the funniest comedies for a while now. And those only last because the network is so bad, that Community's small ass ratings look great when compared with other shows NBC puts out. I didn't think there was any chance that or Parks and Rec would be back another year. Now I'd be surprised if they weren't.
