Happy Endings celebrates its 10th anniversary: Season 2's "Cocktails & Dreams" was the ABC sitcom at its best

Vulture

"There are two types of people: Those who haven’t watched Happy Endings and those who are obsessed with it," says Sophie Ziss. "If you’re among the former, you’re likely used to the latter’s insistence that the network failed this gone-too-soon favorite, which you should totally stream tonight. (Seriously, come on, you’ll love it). With exceptional chemistry from its leads, rapid-fire dialogue, and pleasantly predictable twists, Happy Endings — which premiered ten years ago today — was genuinely weird and wonderful from the jump. It delivered the formula that TV viewers expect while leaving them breathless after each deranged pun, meta-joke, and niche cultural reference. This expertise is on full display in 'Cocktails & Dreams,' the Season 2 episode in which Dave (Zach Knighton) secures a liquor license for his food truck."
