Marry Me

After the cancellation of his show 'Happy Endings', David Caspe creates another fast-talking lightening-speed sitcom. Jake Schuffman (Ken Marino) finally proposes to Annie Fletcher (Casey Wilson) after 6 years. Their friends include the weird Gil (John Gemberling), single gal Dennah (Sarah Wright) and lesbian Kay (Tymberlee Hill). Annie's gay fathers Kevin 1 (Tim Meadows) and Kevin 2 (Dan Bucatinsky) often get involved.

I loved 'Happy Endings' and I like this show although a little less. It's got the same quick fast-talking humor. There are the wacky characters. Casey Wilson and Ken Marino are both terrific. They're a fun team. I like everybody here. It could have worked but if the network canceled 'Happy Endings', there's no reason why they wouldn't cancel this show.

Wow. I registered to IMDb so i could write this review. First series ever that I couldn't get through the first 10mins of. The intro was so painful, the character so annoying and storyline so unrealistic. Who in their right mind would stay with a person like this, much less want to marry them. He let her go on a rant condemning everyone who was close to them. Even if they do end up engaged, who would want to go to that wedding. I fast forwarded to see if it got better... only to be confronted with more whining and more verbal diarrhea. Sometimes characters talk a lot and whine.. but they come across cute. I don't know if its bad writing or the actresses take on the character that has made this show painstakingly annoying.

The first episode of this show was really funny, and throughout the season there were funny moments, but the series never quite got any momentum.

Marry Me has been made by the people behind Happy Endings, and it shows it too, with its irreverent humour, charming dialogues and excellent cast (for the most part; I'm not too sold on two of the supporting characters). I'm one of the lucky people who live in the UK and got to see its series finale, and I must say, the whole show has not disappointed. It started off a little oddly in the first episode, but it set the tone for the show, which does, essentially, revolve around the main couple and still somehow escapes the 'romcom' tag. Later episodes end up improving the jokes and the characters, and you find yourself smiling throughout.

While the show was cancelled after only one season, the writers seem to have had enough time to prepare for the cancellation and have ended the story on a high note and tied up most of the story lines with a neat bow. The finale was a lovely callback to the first episode and singlehandedly made me change the rating of this show from 8 to 9 stars.

With just 18 lighthearted episodes, each about 22 minutes long, the series is perfect for binge-watching over the summer if you have nothing else going on.

I'm already hooked. I Can't remember the last time I seen a "pilot" or regular episode opening that funny in a long time. This show is so non-cliché' and refreshing in todays world of television. The writing is brilliantly gravely smooth and the actors deliver quite well. The content, pacing and timing if it remains the same will never be a half hour wasted. Already a big fan and any writer would be so pleased with the opportunity to work on such a refreshing endeavor as this show. I hope others get engaged as viewers and writers get envious. I also hope the show becomes contagious making others seek out the freshness needed in television. Don't let this one go stale.
