And in other news, "Happy Endings" might come back on air:

all the girls are in new sitcoms already.

As much as I love that Casey girl I realize on marry me she is a better supporting actress than lead. And the supporting actors on that show are better grocery store clerks than actors.

The only problem I have with it is the poor black gay girl can't catch a break. Every line of text for her ends in virganya.

, and it's clearly trying to be better...

...people seem to LOVE TMP, so there's that...

...and Benched is pretty hilarious....

it's not streamed or syndicated prominently enough for it to have gained a new audience.

It's syndicated on LOGO (gay network) so maybe they're trying to bring it back?

The cast is overstuffed and Lamar Morris is an infinitely better comedic actor and hopefully this will give him more to do. Although, I doubt it.

or is that just just a "this show" thing? cause i'm not sure would be as funny if he wasn't playing someone as interesting or nuanced
as Winston....

I haven't seen Wayans in anything else so I can't speak to him outside of New Girl. Same with Morris. But based on what they have done with their respective characters I think Morris has way more talent. It amazes me that he can pull off such an interesting albeit under-utilized character as Winston. He sells the shit out of Winston's insanity.

Coach is not particularly interesting as written and while Morris fills in Winston's gaps Wayans doesn't do much to infuse Coach with anything distinctive or interesting. He's like male CeeCee. He's had some funny moments but there's no way in hell if the roles were reversed he could pull off a Winston whereas Morris, despite not looking like much of a coach, could do more than Wayans with the little he's given.

Two black guys that didn't look like they'd be friends without the other mutual friends.

That was refreshing

situation on network tv

That was definitely refreshing and I was hopeful when Coach came back for that very reason. Unfortunately the character's addition didn't really help the dynamic and if anyone was going to get short-changed in stories and characters it'd be one or both of the black characters.

I'd rather they give one black character a role as meaty as the rest of the main cast than two black characters fighting for scraps

rather than 'black characters'

with just one its almost always just having a black face represented

with both, it felt like they were free to just be characters. it felt like what the world looks like rather than what a tv show looks like. if that makes sense.

its rare that you see a set of diverse white people paired with a set of diverse black people. even if one is kinda meh, i'd still take it.

the problem was they were both characters who ended up getting the short shrift (Not that Winston without Coach has ever really been given as much to do as Schmidt or Nick). I'd rather have really solid characters than a representation of the world when it comes to my entertainment although it is a shitty choice I resent having to make. That said I think New Girl does just fine on that front in terms of its guest stars, love interests, and background actors.

Taking race out of the equation I just think Coach didn't add much to the show and while his character wasn't terrible he was the weak link (both as written and performed) that made the whole chain weaker.

Schmidt and Jess carry the show
i'm not sure Coach's exit will give anybody else 'more to do'
its just one less combination they'll use.

to be honest, i was getting a little bit tired of Winston until Coach came back

Coach just added more funny to the show and the show already had a lot of funny. His chemistry with the cast was so apparent they basically made a (lame) movie (Let's Be Cops) out of it.


I for one will miss him and his awkward "player that forgot how to play" moments with women.

He's added a lot to the show and made the show not have to rely so heavily on Schmidt for all of its laughs.

Everyone has benefited from Coach, and I think the show will suffer a bit in his absence.

They should've kept Nick's GF though.

i want to see Damon Wayans Jr on TV on a regular basis b/c i think he's handsome. plus he's funny on New Girl.

i'd like to see Happy Endings return but i don't believe it's coming. and i want to be wrong about that.
