If I've left the impression that Happyish isn't a laugh-fest, I've done my job. But the show is not without its pleasures.

Happyish has a few genuinely imaginative moments amid its many, many excesses. But in the end, it's too much of a one-note Hell-On-Earth "Greatest Hits" album whose principal characters have the overall appeal of vinegar-drenched cotton candy.
