Comedy reigns at ABC. The network is firming up its midseason plans, scheduling Matthew Perry's new comedy "Mr. Sunshine" and Elisha Cuthbert's sitcom "Happy Endings." "Sunshine" will get the
network's best comedy slot, taking over for "Cougar Town" with a "Modern Family" lead-in on Wednesdays for nine weeks starting Feb. 9. "Cougar" will return April 13 and air through the rest of the
season.

will have a three-hour comedy block on Wednesdays, just like NBC on Thursdays.
