Happy Endings (comedy series)
Happy Endings is a comedy show recently aired in April 2011 as a “midseason replacement”. The story

Happy Ending’s has been compared to the popular hit TV series, ‘Friends” although the show claims
that it is not another sad replica of the said show, articularly when the plot is so different. When asked
on why they have conceptualized the plot if the Happy Endings especially on the wedding hiatus, they
writer and producers say that the show is about rediscovery and finding what it is they really want from
life. Alex’s flight from the altar is a great example of trying to figure out if it is what you want for your
future and on whether it is what you wants for yourself.
The Big Bang Theory
It’s terrific, it’s phenomenal, and it’s a smart- ass series that lives up to everybody’s expectations! Who
ever said that the savvy, fashionable, and the classically elite have the monopoly on high rating TV
shows? In this TV Sitcom, the geeks rule!...and it looks cool, too!
The Big Bang Theory is a unique genre of TV series highlights the dorkier, less fabulous yet intellectually
hilarious life of four geniuses: Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, and Howard, and their next- door neighbour,
Penny. The American sitcom was a collaboration of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady who also serve as the
show’s executive producers together with Steve Molaro. It follows the life of two genius roommates,
experimental physicist Leonard Hofstadter who is at constant odds with his roommate, and theoretical
physicist Sheldon Cooper, a prodigy who has the highest IQ of them all; Sheldon and Leonard’s equally
geeky co- workers, Howard Wolowitz and Rajeesh Koothrapali who are as geeky and as socially inepts,
and their down- to- earth and practical next door friend, Penny, who also became Leonard’s love
interest one time in the show. Their eventual and sad fallout became one of the major plots in the show.
This American comedy sitcom was so popular and well received by the public that the show won the
best comedy series TCA award and Jim Parsons won the award for individual achievement in comedy,
it even bagged the People's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy. Such achievements are not easily
achievable, the show had to seek the professional advice of David Saltzberg, a professor of physics
and astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is responsible for inspecting the show’s
scripts, mathematical equations, and diagrams utilized in the show. The show’s producers are even
thinking of a problem which Sheldon will be working on as the sitcom progresses.
