ABC's premiere of the new Elisha Cuthbert sitcom "Happy Endings" received an encouraging reception among viewers...The 9:30 premiere of Cuthbert's "Friends"-esque comedy "Happy Endings," meanwhile, grabbed a 2.7/7 in the demo and 7.2 million total viewers -- a solid showing that handily bested last week's episode of the Matthew Perry comedy "Mr. Sunshine," which had a 1.6/4 in the demo and 4.9 million total viewers.

Decent debut for ABC's 'Happy Endings'
The new ABC sitcom "Happy Endings" got pretty decent reviews, and it had a pretty decent debut as well, thanks mostly to lead-in "Modern Family." "Endings" averaged a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating at 9:30 p.m. last night, according to Nielsen overnights, holding 71 percent of "Family's" 3.8 at 9 p.m. That's a solid number for any new show these days, although there was a small sign of trouble at 10 p.m., where a second new episode of "Endings" averaged a 2.3, losing 15 percent from the first episode. Still, the first "Endings" was on par with Fox's "Breaking In," the other new sitcom in the 9:30 slot, which averaged a 2.8 despite having a much stronger lead-in from "American Idol."
And "Endings" easily outdrew last week's 10 p.m. timeslot occupant, "Off the Map," which drew a mere 1.3 last week.

ABC ran a second episode of Happy at 10 p.m. (5.7 million, 2.3).
