American Princess

Great show. Look forward to it every week. Good characters and light hearted story line.

The premise for this show was so "out there" that I felt that I had to take a look.

There's obviously a simple girl-meets-boy premise in there that could have been bundled off into a by-the-numbers time-travel fantasy ... but in the first three episodes there is a surprising depth of supporting characters and a willingness to attack the material with the same combination of witty allusion and earthy prat-falling that you find in Shakespeare, that I hope this series finds legs for an extended run.

Overall a strong debut, with a cast of (to me) unknowns who are obviously quite invested in their roles. The writer is pacing the material well, and there is plenty of opportunity for the lead's family to interfere - there are certainly hints of the other characters' pre-Faire back-stories potential to work their way into the storyline.

It was fairly unique so it has that going for it. I loved Raising Hope so I watched this because of Lucas Neff and the other characters mostly won me over. I was not thrilled with how it ended and I am not sure how they come up with a 2nd season. I can see how the ending could be satisfying to many it just was not to me. If you are bored and just looking for something new give it a go. If you want really high quality story telling maybe move on.

If you've ever been to a ten Faire or are yourself a rennie, this show is a must. It's cute and cleaver and supporting of diverse cultures and lifestyles that exist in this world.

For those people saying the show is offensive? If you don't like it, then don't watch it! Yes, it is lewd and raunchy and sexist and makes fun of the serious world! It includes everyone from all over the spectrum. A rich 20 something female, gay couples, bi-racial couples, straight couples, single lonely Queen Elizabeth, and it has one very good lesson in it.. the show is about LIVING IN THE MOMENT. The renaissance faire troupe employees all care about each other like a family and support each other. Support many of them couldn't get in their past lives. Be open minded when watching this show and don't bash it because it offends you. Just change the channel. And by the way, I am a female.
