Decent follow-up.

9.5

As far as second episodes go, this is one of those rare shows that managed to deliver a great episode after a wonderful pilot. We are still getting to know how the family lives, and the plot is slowly developing.

I'm liking the chemistry between Jimmy and Sabrina. That said, throwing in Shelley and Sabrina's boyfriend between them is a good choice. They need to do this to keep up the tension. Katie Miccuci was hilarious as Shelley. Her teeth is just gross, but a great conversation starter, right?

Virginia keeps being great, as does Maw Maw, and even Burt was great. We didn't get any Mike today and it looks like he won't be around. It's okay, I don't miss him.moreless

Now that Jimmy has a baby, he has to find a way to combine fatherhood with his job.

7.0

By Zazawie, Sep 29, 2010

While Raising Hope started off with an excellent pilot, things felt a bit underwhelming in the follow-up episode 'Dead Tooth'. While there was still enough humor to stay entertaining for the entire run, it was all a bit on the nose and the 'heart', which I praised the pilot so much for, was pretty much missing for a bigger part of the episode.

While they still got some good, decent laughs out of the babysitter with the dead tooth, it felt a bit drawn out and it was a weird choice to give Jimmy's 'love interest' a boyfriend. I'm interested to see how they will develop all the relationships, but the episode disappointed a bit after the first one. The rest of the family was also 'just there', and while Maw Maw's smoke bubble and 'lucid moment' were quite funny, I couldn't help but find it just ok.moreless
