Alice, I Think

I have only had the opportunity to watch one episode of the great new comedy, "Alice I Think" but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I watched the episode a second time immediately and laughed through the whole show both times. I sincerely hope that a US network or cable channel will choose to add the show to their lineup so that it will be shown in the United States. I think US audiences would enjoy it very much. I will be visiting Vancouver for several days in August and hope to see more episodes at that time. I thought all of the performers did a great job but I particularly enjoyed Dan Payne's performance as Alice's father, John.

I've just started watching Alice I think with my family and we always get a good laugh out of the show! The writing is clever and witty and the characters do a great job performing this kind of satirical humor. I especially like Alice & the dad John and their quirky, awkward relationship. One of the episodes that sticks out in my mind is when John (Dan Payne) is asked to model for the local sport store...it is hilarious! It completely goes to his head and as he struts his stuff around the small town of Smithers thinking every woman MUST be in love with him, his family just shakes their heads! This is an original kind of TV comedy and we never miss it - we are looking forward to several more seasons of our new favorite comedy!

Not typically the type of show that we watch but I've been sucked in by Alice I Think. It's witty, simple and not over-the-top. Oddly enough, while based on books aimed at teens, the humour definitely has an adult theme at points (like The Simpsons).

The collection of actors is very captivating. From the Gemini-nominated Rebecca Northan (read a nice Q&A article with Rebecca in U magazine published by her alma mater U. of Calgary - search for it on their site) to the relative newcomer with the large resume Connor Price (see him with Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man) to the hard-working and multi-talented Dan Payne (Stargate, multiple Muppets projects, multiple other movies), Carly McKillip has a great 'supporting' cast (she's no slouch either). Of course, Carly is the title character but her family takes on an equally important role in portraying this quirky BC family.

I think this show will need about another 5-6 episodes under its belt before we fully understand each character a bit better. We've seen glimpses of John's persona when he dreamt of a Tetris-filled life and saw his 'paranoia' with fame after his rookie photo shoot. I still think that Diane and Mac need some more time until we see who they really are. The other true supporting cast member (Marcus, Finn,...) are slowly rounding out as well.

Overall, very enjoyable. Hopefully will be around for a while.

My wife and I have seen the first 3 episodes and the characters are really starting to grow on us. Great casting for the characters. Should be a hit, can't wait to see the rest of the season. Alice, the dad John and the meat eating vegan with the hairy armpits are my favorite so far. The best part is it's an actual funny Canadian made series, haven't had one of those since kids in the hall. Hopefully we don't lose great comedian writers to all the late shows that are in the states so that we continue to have great Canadian programs like Alice, I Think.

I'll be sure to tell others so that there is more than one season of this show, hate to lose it.

I found this programme to be absolutely hilarious! I was in hysterics from the word go! The cast seem to gel well together and Dan Payne was great as the dad, he certainly had some great lines that left me laughing! I have not read the books, but I may look into getting hold of them now. The show is told, in parts, from teenager Alice's point of view. However there is focus on both the parents and her brother too, giving those actors the chance to shine. I particularly enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just about Alice. The show has much potential and I would love to see it continue to grow. I would highly recommend this show to both adults and teens as it provides comedy for both levels.
