"Happyish" Cancelled at Showtime
by Andy Swift

Well, here’s some news that won’t make "Happyish‘s" Thom Payne any less depressed: TVLine has confirmed that the Showtime comedy will not return for a second season.

Originally a vehicle for Philip Seymour-Hoffman — who filmed an unaired pilot before his death in 2014 — "Happyish" eventually starred Steve Coogan as Thom, a downtrodden advertiser forced to accept that he might never be fully happy in his life. As you might imagine, this was wonderful news to his angry artist wife Lee (Kathryn Hahn).

I watched a couple of episodes and just couldn't get into it. The lead character Thom was just so dull & depressing most of the time and this was supposed to be a comedy.
