''Unhappily Ever After'' was an American [[Sit ComSitcom]] that aired for 100 episodes on [[The WB]] and one of the few network launch shows to survive the first year. The series was initially intended to be a starring vehicle for Stephanie Hodge; however, Geoff Pierson's weary, mentally unbalanced but straight-talking character of Jack became the central character of the show and, by the show's third season, it became apparent that Tiffany ([[Las Vegas|Nikki Cox]]) was becoming a [[Breakout Character]] and the de facto co-star of the show along with Pierson.
 
The show was created by Arthur Silver and Ron Leavitt; the latter also co-created ''[[Married... Withwith Children]]''. This leads to ''Unhappily'' being considered a [[Follow the Leader|blatant rip-off]] of ''Married'' by many, as much of the humor was similar, though ''Unhappily'' was generally more surreal and cartoonish than even ''Married'' got. The show ended in May 1999 with its 100th episode.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Tiffany has at least two rivals who play this role.
Line 26:
* [[Jaded Washout]]: Jack is certainly this, though a mentally unstable one.
* [[Jerkass]]: Pretty much every character in the show.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: The show has yet to be released on Home Video in any form, despite [[Malcolm in Thethe Middle|Ross]], [[Las Vegas|Tiffany]] and [[Entourage|Ryan]] all going to to more famous TV roles.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Jennie's mother vanishes in-between seasons; a later episodes has an off-hand remark about her funeral.
* [[Mistaken for Junkie]]: Jennie and Jack mistake a white clump in the car for drugs Ryan obtained after tasting it made them feel randy for each other. Turns out {{spoiler|it was deodorant}}.
Line 35:
* [[Perpetual Poverty]]
* [[Pet Homosexual]]: Barry.
* [[Romance Onon the Set]]: Nikki Cox (Tiffany) was reportedly involved with Kevin Connolly (Ryan) at one point, and Bobcat Goldthwait (Mr. Floppy) at another.
* [[Split Personality]]: Jack and his alter ego, Mr. Floppy.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: Ryan. Tiffany is by far Jack's favorite and Ross at least gets some kind of acknowledgement.
