Marry Me Premiere: Are You in for the Long Haul or a Quickie Divorce?
Marry Me is not Happy Endings 2.0, but if you liked Happy Endings, you'll want to watch Marry Me.
If you didn't like Happy Endings, you'll probably still want to watch Marry Me!
The new NBC comedy has very funny and capable leads in Ken Marino and Casey Wilson and the creative forces from Happy Endings leading the charge behind the scenes. What did you think of the first episode?
David Caspe, Wilson's real-life hubby and co-creator of Happy Endings, is in charge of the show. He knows his wife's strengths and that clearly shows in the first episode. Don't expect Marry Me's Annie to be Happy Endings' Penny. Well, maybe just a little bit. '...[I] look forward to showing them a slightly more grounded character, which I think will be the case over the course of the season and just have fun. I hope people laugh and love it,' Wilson told us about her hopes for the new comedy.

Think of it as a throwback of sorts. 'I mean, there are so many shows to watch. I think, hopefully, it will be a relationship comedy...kind of like in the sense of Mad About You. Not to say it's like I Love Lucy, but in that style,' Wilson said. 'But I'm hoping it has hard jokes like 30 Rock. I hope it has heart and really hard jokes.'
Heart and really hard jokes? We're there.
'I want to say we're going to completely redefine what it is to sit in front of a television for everybody on this planet, but I can't say that,' Marino said. 'It's going to be a funny show...it's going to be funny, it's going to have heart, it's going to be subversive. The humor is going to cut the sweetness...it's from the mind of David Caspe...good hard jokes, a good ensemble comedy.'
