ONTD Original: Ten Moore AH-MAH-ZING Episodes/Moments of ABC's 'Happy Endings'
“They want more? Well, I'll give them Mary Tyler Moore Tyler Moore Moore Moore (ow!)” It was clear to me and everyone that containing ten moments/episodes would not suffice into one post (and lbr, this second post still won't be enough) so here we are. Ten more of the best episodes and moments from this beloved show, Taken from us and our airwaves too soon by the French...if ABC Studios were French that is. Where was Liam Neeson when you needed him? Our show runs awkwardly too, just like Kim (Maggie Grace)! Save it Liam, damn it! Alright, without further nonsense here are ten more episodes/moments from Happy Endings.
