Bless This Mess

First two episodes were a little weak. Obviously they had to get the 'fish' out of water. But unless bowers we're willing to give it a 3rd try, that was a mistake. Strong ensemble of experienced comedic actors. Show started taking better advantage of them in ep 3 & 4. I came to this show b/c I like Lake Bell's work. Yesterday the show was renewed for a second series. I hope they continue to develop stories beyond Rio/Mike. The story is about this couple. But interweave the other actors and take advantage of the wealth of talent.

I don't know who was the nitwit internet troll who started the rumor that Pam Grier was dying of cancer, but thank you. Why you ask? Because of it, I discovered this gem of a sitcom. The funny writing, single camera action and quality comedic acting by Dax Shepard, Lake Bell, Ed Begley, Jr., Lennon Parham and David Koechner makes for good tv watching. And oh by the way, time has been very good to Ms. Grier.

Lake Bell is a truly funny woman and this show makes me laugh out loud. It's not a new concept but Bell manages to put a hilarious spin on it.

Light comedy. Love the characters. Lake Bell is crazy funny. Looking forward to a Season 2.

It's a relief to see a fun show with no swearing and no vulgarity or raunchiness. The two main characters are endearing in their genuine eagerness to make the farm work. It makes me happy to see a couple that is in love without being mean-spirited or critical of each other. I don't see it as making fun of the fly-over states at all. As another reviewer pointed out, the most bumbling among the group are the two main characters.
