ABC canceled its critically-acclaimed but underwatched comedy Happy Endings last week, and there’s been speculation that the USA network would pick up the show just like how TBS saved Cougar Town from the clutches of cancelation last year. USA is officially in negotiations with Happy Endings’ studio Sony TV to pick up the show, Variety reports, but Deadline reports that, “At this point … a pickup appears unlikely but the network is carefully exploring the opportunity to migrate a show with some success on broadcast TV and a dedicated fan base.†Happy Endings is the only recently-canceled network sitcom that fits that description, unless Go On has more of a hardcore fan base than I assume it does.
