Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Alexis Walker This was just terrible. I'm not just talking about the pilot. I'm talking about ALL the episodes that have aired.It is almost as if someone wanted to create a very unfunny show to make people cringe. Well good job. You did it.I wanted to like this. I really did. The characters are undeveloped. The kids are annoying (don't know why they even have the Marigold character) and the writing it the worst I have ever seen.I normally like Pullman and Gad, but the material they are working with does not allow them to be nearly as funny as they should be.Cancel.

J N After watching the 3 episodes that was aired, I can honestly say it is hard to enjoy this show. It is not even the flat and bad jokes or the bad directing. Rather, it is every time Josh Gad's character show up on screen, I immediately go into a fit of blind rage and have the urge to punch babies. Josh Gad's character is the overplayed "idiotic adult child". Who contributes nothing to the show except bad jokes and poor delivery. Josh's character has this demeanor that is an instant turn off. The show itself is intolerable. The storyline does not hook you at all. The writing is uninteresting and the cast have little to no chemistry with each other. Bill Pullman, who plays the President, is completely out of place on this show. The only reason to watch this show is if you are preparing for an MMA match and need an anger booster. You can imagine your opponent's face as Josh Gad's face.

tlccar-193-208516 I love a good comedy. 1600 Penn is not one of them. To sit through the pilot was worse than going to the dentist! I actually couldn't wait for it to end! I kept waiting for it to get funny but it never happened. Bill Pullman should be ashamed of himself. He looked so out of place on this show. Do they even show this to people before airing it on prime time television to see if they think it is good? I don't even want to watch another episode to see if it improves. That is how bad this show is. I hate to be a downer but that is my truthful opinion of this train wreck NBC calls a comedy. I can see why the cable networks are killing the major networks. Shows like this are proof!

David Karasek To me this show is not only not humorless, but is a patronizing attempt to appeal to a TV audience assumed to have zero sense of humor, sophistication or patriotism. It is the antithesis of actually funny, romantic and smart efforts like Aaron Sorkin's the film An American President and the TV series The West Wing. Obviously someone at NBC didn't get the memo that Sorkin is the standard bearer for the White House TV genre. As for the acting, not a single character is anything more than a cliché. I guess that's the writers' intent, to have every character be a caricature. But the downside is that not a single character seems human. Why not then just Photoshop the cast and forget about human actors to fit into the contrived, emotionless script?
