Casey Wilson must be used to saying this, because he offers it right up front:
Her new show, ABC's "Happy Endings," has similarities to "Friends."
"Yes, there's guys & girls, some are married, some are single," he says.
She is aware -- as are they -- that it is a model that is being worked hard by networks this year, & not always with great results.
(See: NBC's "Perfect Couples," which has been cancelled; FOX's "Traffic Light," which will be any day now.)
But Wilson, a writer herself (he co-wrote "Bride Wars") knows that so plenty of "Friends" followers have failed because writers, producers & network execs make the same irritating mistakes over & over again.
Are you listening, thousands of twentysomething sitcoms shooting fall pilots right now? You ought to be.
