    When I saw Damon Wayans Jr was getting his own show I was super excited as I am a big fan of the Wayans and company so I for sure tuned into this one. 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!

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!… Expand

    It has it's moments of slapstick, however it seems forced, over rehearsed and too meticulously timed. It really throws me off how Amber West and Damon Wayans Jr.'s characters are suppose to be so much older than this young rock star's character, which would insinuate that they've been married for a long time, yet in every episode, they're acting all giddy and giggly with one another as ifIt has it's moments of slapstick, however it seems forced, over rehearsed and too meticulously timed. It really throws me off how Amber West and Damon Wayans Jr.'s characters are suppose to be so much older than this young rock star's character, which would insinuate that they've been married for a long time, yet in every episode, they're acting all giddy and giggly with one another as if they're still on their honeymoon! They're acting too phony and overly dramatic... especially Wayans. It doesn't look believable. And another thing: They've got this cute little so-called rock star living with them for FREE!? So this kid is making some big time Hollywood money, and he's not giving Jake and Claire a cent for his rent or food all because he had a little emotional breakdown at the beginning of the series and they're okay with that!!?? I don't think so! AGAIN...not believable! Then there's the intrusive, alcoholic parents. Thank God the writers threw THAT in there because it's not like we haven't been seeing THAT in every other comedy sitcom for the last 50 years!! AGAIN!!... not believable. I gave Happy Together a generous 5 because despite it's many flaws, it is great to see Stephanie Weir and Victor Williams again. I can see there was some attempt to make this show entertaining, and it does have it's funny moments, but overall, this show makes NO attempt to show us something new and refreshing - something we haven't seen before. It's just not happening here.… Expand

    Tthe season’s slightest new sitcom on a network that has done much better by this genre in recent seasons with the likes of Young Sheldon, Mom and Life In Pieces. In this case, the premise simply has no foreseeable promise.

    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.

    Nothing particularly interesting is done with the premise. ... But Wayans and West develop an increasingly comfortable rapport as the episodes go on, and West is enjoyable all the way through, funny without breathing hard.
