Do Americans have Canada to thank for HAPPY ENDINGS somewhat surprising second season renewal? They do if Scott Moore, president of broadcasting for Rogers Media has anything to say about it.
“HAPPY ENDINGS did well in the States but it did really well for us,” revealed a travel-weary Moore during an impromptu state-of-the-network address on the Fan 590 in Toronto following two weeks in Los Angeles evaluating a whole slew of Fall Pilots. “In our first meeting with ABC, our programming guy Malcolm Dunlop asked what they were thinking about HAPPY ENDINGS. Their response, ‘Well, we haven’t decided, it’s on the bubble’.” And he said, ‘Well, if it makes a difference, the season finale did exceptionally well for us’.”
