Perfect Harmony

When I saw the trailer for this show, I wasn't sure, but desperate to find a decent comedy to watch, I gave it a chance! I am so glad I did! It's amazing and hilarious and refreshing and the camaraderie amongst the cast (that at first glance doesn't look like they'd mesh) is what really drew me in. I grew up in a small town church so I can relate to a little of it. Newcomer Spencer Allport and new to me Bradley Whitford and Anna Camp are breaths of fresh air with great comedic timing. Please give it a watch. We need more laughter in this world! I only watched This Is Us and Young Sheldon prior but so glad to have some more laughter.

This new sitcom has so much potential just like the cast of the unknown church choir in Perfect Harmony. Arthur (Bradley Whitford) is an Ivy League music professor who has fallen off the wagon and lives on a houseboat. Rather than drink a quart of scotch and pop a bottle of pills, give up on life and pull his own proverbial plug, Arthur asks and looks for a sign to go on with life while illegally parked in front of the Second First Church of the Cumberlands and then he hears the church choir practicing that appears to need being saved, more than Arthur does so he takes it upon himself to give this cast of characters a choir leader.

All of the choir have weaknesses and strengths just like you and me, and Arthur appears to have a knack with his abruptness and candor for bringing out the best in his new found choir both in their personal lives, and with their singing ability.

So although everyone has their periodic lows in their own lives, as a group this choir/cast is a hit. I look forward to seeing much more of this Rocky themed choir belt out a few more songs that we can all relate to. Don't expect a recreation of the former Glee TV series because this sitcom is new, fresh and packs a powerful punch that stands above the rest. Can I get a Hallelujah?

I'm not sure if the critical reviewers actually watched the same Program I did. This program is outright funny. The music is outstanding and the characters as presented are real. One might actually grow to love them all, even with their all too human flaws.

Most good TV shows need a few episodes before they come together. I'm really hoping this is one of them. The first episode had a lot of potential it just didn't quite reach - but I have hope that it improves quickly. In its favor - Bradley Whitford, characters that aren't stereotypes, some clearly good singers, and an overall positive message. As someone who has been in a number of choirs before, I'll be interested to see how realistic this turns out to be.

It's really kinda funny... the jokes are clever and cute
