Thanks

I loved this show. It got buried during the dog days of summer but Entertainment Weekly raved about it. So I tried it out and was hooked. Funny, smart and also sweet. The lead Father was sexy and terrific. How can a smart satire on early America not last but Jim Belushi stays on season after season? Grrrr. Why doesn't CBS show THANKS every Thanksgiving? I bet tons of people would watch it.

We were going through an old VCR tape and I came across the tobacco episode. I showed it to some friends and they were howling. That's what made me think of it recently and I wanted to look up the name of the lead actor. Glad to see there are others who appreciate smart comedy. God Bless THANKS!

I am an 8th grader and in my social studies we were studying the early english in america. My social studies teacher being the movie/tv nut he is, showed us the pilot episode. It was hilarious. It's such a shame it got cancelled.

This show was a relief for anyone that was stuck at home during the summer watching reruns. It is a comedy about a pioneer family in the New World. It should have been a normal show during the regular season because I've seen the adds for the other new shows and they don't even compare to this.

CBS's decision to cancel "Thanks" says a lot about the sad state of modern-day network television. This show at least attempted to be different. Unlike almost every other sitcom on TV, "Thanks" wasn't set in New York, wasn't about a bunch of whiney twentysomethings, and wasn't just a collection of tired sex jokes. "Thanks" probably never had a chance. It wasn't the kind of show a focus group would have approved. Maybe it wasn't the best show of all time, maybe it was imperfect, but at least it tried to bring a fresh kind of comedy to network TV. It was different. It didn't try to be the umpteenth "Friends" clone. It deserved a longer run, in part because it dared to be original. "Thanks" lasted five or six episodes. "Suddenly Susan" ran for years. That's modern television in a nutshell.

This show is an unexpected hidden gem, about a family of puritans colonizing the land of America. The comedy in this show is very well paced, with clever jokes and a great cast of actors. The show is witty, and places creative touches with the storytelling while not be restricted with the time period. My only gripe is about the supporting cast not being as prolific, or used often in the show. We had a radical missionary, an almost flamboyant doctor, and an out of it married couple with countless children. It was a shame that a gem like this was canned to soon, this should have been a show they place in reruns every Thanksgiving. However I am thankful that I got to see this situational comedy during my lifetime, so "Thanks."
