A preview of tonight’s “American Idol”: a bunch of idiots will vote off some idiot who sang worse than a bunch of other idiots.Meanwhile, on ABC is a great new show we should all be watching. It’s called “Happy Endings,” and it’s hilarious and superbly cast. (That’s the cast, above, including Damon Wayans, Jr., who’s the spitting image of his dad.)
I believe success for sitcoms is based on one simple ingredient: an ensemble cast – like “Friends” and “Will & Grace” – huge hits that lasted for years. You know what show didn’t work? “Cavemen.” You know what the guys who wrote “Cavemen” are writing now? “Modern Family” – ensemble cast, and the second best show on TV. (The best by far is “30 Rock.”)
Rant finished. “Happy Endings” is on tonight at ten. Watch it. And F Idol.
