Happy Endings

[domino harvey]

Tickets were sold out the moment they went live

[mfunk9786]

Assuming that means you didn't get any?

[domino harvey]

Tragically. I doubt there were any to get, I was online at ten on the dot and they were already sold out

[domino harvey]

Entire cast wants to do another season or a movie, pointedly made looks at Hulu execs in the audience during the reunion

[domino harvey]

The writers of Happy Endings are writing a new "lost" episode, to be performed live by the entire cast at Entertainment Weekly's Pop Fest in October (in LA-- booooo)

[mfunk9786]

[domino harvey]

This is for the "lost" episode mentioned above, I believe

[mfunk9786]

Calling it 401 is pretty neat though. Hopes obviously still aflame

[domino harvey]

The Happy Endings writers' Twitter has been posting vids from the table read, lots of NSFW moments and big laughs-- the cast went in blind, so it's a cold read, but hopefully they post the whole script somewhere soon. Dave doing (Scott) Hamilton raps is the highlight.

Recap of the episode

Mill Creek is putting out the complete series on BD

[domino harvey]

Oh my God, dreams do come true

[domino harvey]

Update: I have this in hand and what I've rewatched so far looks excellent with great picture/sound quality. I still can't believe we actually got a compete series Bluray set for this show

[mfunk9786]

Was just coming in to share that Blu-ray.com seems pretty displeased with the image quality, but if you're enjoying it, why does it matter?

[domino harvey]

That review is nonsense. The Blu-ray looks and sounds great, they only gave it 3/5 because it's from Mill Creek

[swo17]

Probably, though I'm curious if you see any merit in this specific criticism:

Take a look at the last episode on disc one, a scene in which Penny is in training at a self-defense class. Noise is clumpy and dense, as it is in much of the show, and that scene is another good example of the severe macroblocking and banding that can pop in

[domino harvey]

Literally saw none of that, and I rewatched that episode a few days ago. I would bet money the reviewer is demeriting for image issues that are present in the way it was filmed (like color banding in the opening credits, which has always been there), as I've seen these episodes enough times on DVD, iTunes, HD cable, Hulu, and now Blu-ray that I saw nothing out of the ordinary other than increased resolution. You can see a screencap of the episode in question here, and I don't see what the hell they're talking about here either

[domino harvey]

Best Buy has this and the Masters of Sex Blu-ray complete series mispriced for $9.99. YMMV obviously, and they'll probably start removing the stickers once corporate realizes

[mfunk9786]

Have to get over there at lunch tomorrow. Guessing this won't be #1 on their docket when they unlock the doors.

[domino harvey]

Why did no one here alert no one here that the entire cast got together via Zoom a few months ago to record a new episode for charity

[therewillbeblus]

Well that was great overall. Not every joke works and Penny's bit from the midpoint on is lame, but a lot of the material lands and the cast easily slip back into their roles, especially Jane. Dave's plotline was inspired

Spoiler

though I was hoping the bandana's purpose was to reveal a V-neck

Why did no one here alert no one here that the entire cast got together via Zoom a few months ago to record a new episode for charity

I honesty just assumed everyone knew.

[domino harvey]

I finally watched this and oh my goodness, I can't remember the last time I laughed this much. I was in tears of laughter more than once. The writers and cast didn't lose anything in the interim years. So many great lines. How have we not gotten a revival season yet? This proves it would be as good as it ever was.

[domino harvey]

Take it with a grain of salt, but there's a blind item up on a gossip site that asserts the series has been picked up for a multi-season revival from Netflix and will begin shooting in the summer with the entire original cast. Caspe is working with Netflix on the Blockbuster show AND the series is leaving Hulu after being there forever, so maybe maybe maybe...

[therewillbeblus]

It was briefly on Netflix within the last couple years too, so that tracks too. I'll play into this and get amped. Maybe that strong zoom table read for charity turned some heads
