If they can't resurrect Happy Endings on another network, then I'm fine with this. He was superior to Winston.

At the same time, I don't think we need to kick Winston off the show. That would just solidify the whole "token Black guy" ethos. Why can't we have TWO token Black guys?

Interesting observation, but I think they get a lot of comedy out of the fact that he's the lone black character -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 10:50 3
- I don't think I agree. They rarely seem to go there from what I remember. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 11, 11:01 2
  - yeah, aside from the buying crack episode (hilarious) they make more out of religion than him being black. It's not on the level of Psych. -- nm - Max Jul 11, 11:03 1
    - admittedly the crack bit was hilarious. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 11, 11:08
I love how quietly strange Winston is. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 11, 10:42 5
- The way they scaled up the crazy - with the no boundaries practical jokes - was awesome. It really fleshed out an underused character. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 11, 11:15
- yeah, it took a while for me to warm up to his character. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 11, 10:44 3
  - It probably took them a while to see what they could do with his character, because he's the most normal of the group. -- nm - Max Jul 11, 10:45 2
    - that's the best part about his character...he appears normal compared to the others but he's more strange than all of them. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 11, 10:47 1
      - Boobies! -- nm - Winston in Air Vent si Jul 11, 10:56
since they are 2 totally different personalities, I think it works. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 11, 10:41
