    Entertaining Show That Can't Really Go Anywhere
    Merry Happy Whatever is about Mark who likes a a girl who I can't remember the name of. They go to her fathers house for Christmas and it is pretty much a war zone there.

    Merry Happy Whatever was a show I didn't plan on watching. I saw it on Netflix and I said "what the heck." So I watched it and it wasn't all that bad. I enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect by any means. I don't really know what they will do with the show now because it was centered around Christmas. They might just wait till next year, but then you won't know what happened with the characters in between. That is really the only main problem. I thought the acting was pretty solid. Dennis Quaid is particular. I enjoyed him in this show. He was really the only character that supplied good solid laughs. There were some other characters that were a little funny, but it was mainly Dennis Quaid. I thought the idea was clever. I think it would have been smarter if they had a TV show that could also happen in the summer and did a season of Christmas episodes. It might only be a half a season because there was only eight episodes in this show. There were also each twenty minutes. That is way too short. They really didn't have any room to have those filler episodes that just give people a break. Also, every episode would end on a tone of everybody apologizing to each other. There was one episode were that didn't happen, but then you could just watch the next episode instead of waiting till next week. That is a problem I have with binging shows. Besides those problems, I enjoyed the show.

    Overall, I would recommend watching it around Christmas and don't try to watch them all in a row because that would ruin some of the excitement.
