    The producers are excited to create more absurd fun for their comic duo, and the audience should be happy in the long run, admiring a knowing farce at a time where the world’s dark buffoonery needs to be ignored. Happy Together may not become an iconic sitcom, but it’s already a pretty good source for happiness.

    The jokes could use some polishing, and the concept could easily grow old in a hurry, but the trio of Wayans, Stevens West and Mallard nudge this one a solid notch above your average network sitcom.

    The premise of Happy Together could get stale quickly, or worse, start resembling the absurd and corny "Montana." But the cast is so delightful and the jokes come so easily that maybe Styles' 20 months can be stretched into many years of television.

I didn't laugh once! I never try to be harsh on a show but this just wasn't funny. I believe the show has promise it just needs a little more development. I like all the cast it just didn't work for me! It felt like they were trying so hard to make the audience laugh that it hurt. I don't think it will make it past one season but if they can pick up the humor and invest into character development than it has a shot!… Full Review »

    Very nice show which can easily be concluded in pure happiness in 30 minutes. I love the actors who play the couple. They are very talented.
