    "Abysmal"
    By AndreiIonutNea, Nov 30, 2011
    No past or present series comes to mind where the central character(Lucas Neff) is so unattractive(I mean ugly) and so unfunny. And Cloris Leachman grosses me out everytime she appears. Martha Plimpton and Garret Dillahunt are watchable and nice together. This show kinda wants to be like The Middle but has a loooong way to go. Can't believe it got a full season order and people are watching this instead of Running Wilde which is 100 times more funier. Fingers crossed it won't get renewed for a 2nd season because it is very weak. How could ABC even listen to the pitch of this show knowing the cast still blows my mind.moreless

  • What happened to this show? I thought the first episode of the the season was a little strange, and after the second one I am sure something has gone wrong. Can this show be saved? Probably not; when it goes this wrong this early its usually gone.moreless

    "Terrible"
    By PeterFeeneyS, Oct 14, 2011
    The problem is the characters appear to have lost their personalities. They were unusual and sweet. The scenes in the grocery store were funny and unlike any other shows on TV. Virginia was just perfect as she was portrayed but now I'm afraid she has lost that innocent quality that was so attractive. Jimmy doesn't seem himself at all and Burt now appears to be just dumb and not very funny. Maw Maw hasn't really been the comic figure she was last season either. With this many changes this has to be the result of a decision by the producers that the show wasn't on the right track last year. I couldn't disagree more. Last season "Raising Hope" was one of the more enjoyable and different shows on TV, now it appears it is going to just be another sitcom. Too bad.moreless

  • GIVE THIS SHOW A CHANCE!!!

    Congratulations to the creators of "MY Name is Earl" are due here. This show is quite funny although it may not be as good as Earl it certainly has great moments. All of the charcters are very likable and dare I say...lovable. Maw Maw is by far the best but all of the cast deserves praise for what they do. Although it's not the best show ever made and it's not the best thing on tv right now but you can be assured that if you watch this show you will laugh.moreless

  • Jimmy wants more out of life. He gets more, in the form of a baby daughter. His crazy family are reluctant to help him raise her, as they need raising themselves.moreless

    "Perfect"
    By Simbrat, Apr 17, 2011
    We really enjoyed this show. It was funny and just crazy enough with engaging, realistic characters. This is just what we were looking for. Can't wait to see more. Love all the actors/actresses, they're all doing a bang-up job! With so many reality shows (some good, some bad, and some really, really bad) splattered all over my t.v. screen, this show takes us back to what t.v. used to be - entertainment for entertainment's sake.

    We'll be tuning in each week to see what else poor Jimmy will have to endure on his way to maturity as he struggles to be a good dad.moreless

  • Silly fun and lots of smiles, especially for young parents raising babies.

    TV's best new anti-family provides a fun half hour of tv with lots of laughs coming from all those impossible situations. They manage to add a few moments worth thinking about about parenthood and life. Unlike too many other shows, this newcomer doesn't scatter its storyline all over the place so it succeeds with a clear direction, some smart writing and fun actors. Overall, it's quite possibly the best new comedy on TV. Young parents will love this new take on the average american family. It's all silly fun and lots of smiles, especially for all the young parents raising babies.moreless
