Here's another show that was axed that I personally enjoyed. I guess it simply didn't reach a large enough audience to renew it for a second season.

The episodes were smart, funny, entertaining, etc.. Well written and well executed by the company of actors and directors. Certainly a neat pseudo sci-fi show to be sure.

There wasn't a single episode I would call weak. It's been a while since ABC have had a show with consistent high quality IMHO. I personally can't think of one today. Plenty of hits and misses.

Well maybe Kevin didn't save the world but gave fans 16 enjoyable episodes.

Just my two cents.

That is John Ritter and JoAnna Garcia Swisher. Personally I thought a second season was in order but alas it wasn't to be. ABC cancelled it after 16 episodes.

The original title was supposed to be "The Gospel Of Kevin.' ....but it was changed as show was spiritual as opposed to openly religious.

Jason certainly had some of his dad's chops in this show. (I had seen him before in the "mockumentary period piece".... Another Period).

I guess Kevin didn't get a chance to "save the world" with so few episodes. It is an enjoyable series if you have a chance to catch it.

As another reviewer stated accurately, ratings are everything.

Need to figure out why these producers couldn't keep this show full of positive messages, positive characters, positive values and positive energy going ....tough writing call, I guess , but I'm sure there are people that could bring their talents to run with this ...but ....alas!

As an atheist, I was planning on watching this show, to make fun of it, thinking it would just be religious crap. But hell was I wrong. The show is more about the beauties of life and our universe, than it is about religion. And when it does delve into religious themes and plots, it's not about the belief in god part of religion, but the be a nice person and do good stuff part of it. It's just a really well-made and uplifting show that everyone who wants to have a nice time and feel good should watch. I tried 8 new shows this fall season, and this is the only one that I really loved, I'm very critical about new shows I'm starting and this one was a total surprise.

Rarely do we find a show that everyone in our extended family (that lives together) loves. And it's also hard to find a new show where we are immediately invested starting at the Pilot (usually, we have to be patient as the script works out it's kinks). This one is just such a show.

Jason Ritter has become a fine actor, with comedic timing glimpses of his dear late father, John. Both he and the actor who plays the teenage niece play their roles pitch perfectly.

If you are looking for a well-written show that doesn't include crude language or gratuitous violence; with a theme about redemption and a higher-purpose, then you'll fall in love with this one, too.

At the end of the Pilot episode, we all cried out "We want to binge...don't make us wait".

Were already hoping that the network is approving a second season.

This show really reminds me of the 2008 comedy/drama, Eli Stone, staring Johnny Lee Miller. The religious overtones aside, there's this quiet hopefulness in each episode. It's like some trusted loved one from your childhood quietly whispering into your ear that everything's going to be okay.

Jason Ritter's boyish like innocence as he rediscovers the simple beauty of a rain storm or a starry night on a quiet country road... Simple goodness that I wish I could squirrel away for posterity, only to later devour like Grandma's canned jams.

You can't not like Jason Ritter (who is also the spitting image of his late and talented father). There is simply nothing to not like. In this show, he is funny, vulnerable, kind and all too human. However, I find the female characters rather b*tchy - this comes from a female reviewer. Even his angelic mentor can be rather obnoxious. But nasty females aside, this is an engaging show. It is a dramady - not fully comedic, and not fully dramatic, it does deal with real issues and the characters he encounters will warm your heart. The scene in the airport with the pencil seller is not to be missed. It is a refreshing change from the violence and filth that seem to be dominating the airwaves. I highly recommend it.

I LOVED this show and wanted to strangle the network when they canceled it!😤

Outside of Austin, Texas, black sheep Kevin Finn (Jason Ritter) is crashing with his scientist widower twin sister Amy Cabrera (JoAnna Garcia Swisher). She is called in by the military when 36 meteors strike around the world. One lands near the Amy's house. Kevin and his niece Reese go out to investigate. Kevin touches it and is changed. A messenger of God (Kimberly Hebert Gregory) tells him that he's the last of the righteous destined to save the world. The other 35 had mysteriously disappeared. His former crush Kristin Allen (India de Beaufort) is presently Reese's teacher. Deputy Nathan Purcell (J. August Richards) has a lifelong crush on Amy.

The start is a little rocky with a muddled premise and an annoying Kevin. It does straighten itself out. There are some solid relationship chemistry with terrific TV actors. Ritter's inherit good nature charm quickly rises to the top. Kimberly is great. There are some good lessons which are the episodes that I like the most. I really like Kevin's connection with the niece. They could have done more godly capers together. With Amy coming around in that last episode, the show was set to have some good adventures. This has the potential to be a great feel-good network fare with a little bit of a bite and some religious flavors. With a more solid start, this would have garnered better critical response and maybe maximized its potential.

Oh wait--there is one! It's called Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. Unfortunately, we may not know if he is able to save the show as it may not be renewed for another season. And that is really too bad. People complain that there is nothing worthwhile on TV, that there is too much sex and violence, but then when there is a good, fun show on that surprises you each week, not enough people watch it. Is it because it isn't advertised enough or that the competition is too much? I don't know, but here is what everyone is missing: 1. Just plain silly fun--physical comedy, quirky characters, and a guy who has a hard time adulting all the time. 2. Kindness--his job is to help other people. He does so in simple ways, complicated ways, crazy ways, and heart-warming ways. Some of the episodes start off with a feeling like "oh, oh, jumped the shark already" and then there is a plot twist and you love it all over again. 3. No need to squirm at scenes if watching with your children. 4. A feeling that just possibly our lives have a purpose and maybe, even if we mess up, people will forgive us and things might get better. If this doesn't get renewed, I will truly miss Kevin and Tyler, but I have learned good lessons from them so it will not be a waste. Here's hoping it gets renewed and we find out if the world gets saved.

I love this show. Jason Ritter is amazing and funny. I am so glad that I found something to watch that does not have any foul language, swearing or sex (or vampires, walking dead etc, absolute junk as far as I'm concerned). Nice clean fun. I'm sorry, but there is just a lot of trash out there and it is very difficult to find something WORTH watching.

This show is cute and like feel good. Not amazing though

ABC needs to learn that having an interesting actor for lead cannot "hold" an entire show... Show throw me back to "Joan from Arcadia" (where Ritter played the brother) or "Eli Stone" for obvious reason.

Would love to see Jason Ritter in other comic (or not) roles, but this show felt 'meh' to me. Not saying it won't get better, but first couple of episodes were weak.

It was my favorite new show last fall. Every week I looked forward to it. Heck, our whole family got together and cooked dinner to watch this show. Jason Ritter is awesome and I've never seen a show with JoAnna Garcia Swisher in it that I didn't like! Both of them are so talented! Kimberly Hebert Gregory was new to me but I will watch things just because she's in it now. She has attitude to spare but in the way that lets you know she cares. She has a great smile too. So to sum it up out of this world cast. Lessons in treating people better. Telling us to be the best we can be. A downright entertaining hour of tv that touches more than your funny bone. Thank you abc. Please do more like this. So excited for this year.

Here is a show that IMHO deserved a better fate. The first couple of episodes the show was finding its footing with an unusual premise.

Kevin (Jason Ritter) started out an unlikable character but that would change. I'm not giving anything away as it's already in the synopsis and trailer. Let's face it, Jason Ritter seems to function at his best as a charismatic, likeable character....very much like his dad.

Speaking of his dad it's good to see Jason has some very good physical comedy chops. Not in the same league as his dad who was IMHO the best of his generation...but very good just the same.

I enjoyed Jason Ritter in "Another Period". JoAnna Garcia Swishser hasn't played a role that I haven't enjoyed.

No spoilers. Just 16 episodes that were quite enjoyable. JMHO.

Let's be honest, the comedy was optimistic, it was heart-warming, it was uplifting...of course it was doomed to failure.

And then, yes it had a diverse cast which would appeal to those that ONLY care about politics...but it also had an angel and a Christian treatment and morality which would, of course, gain their ire and dismissal.

And that doesn't only go for the outrage culture, but also seems to go for a certain age demographic.

The fact is, if the show had come out between the birth of TV and the birth of the new Millennium it would have been a hit. Unfortunately it was released in a jaded era where things that are heartwarming and uplifting are shunned.

This is definitely weird. As I write this, there are 3 reviews posted, 2 of which are from Lancaster, SC - which is where I'm from as well. (And Lancaster ain't all that big.)

At least one of the other posters is a believer (most likely Christian) -- while I am not. I'm an atheist, in fact. That said, I love - LOVE - this show - the actors (all!!), the writing, the redemption. At least the pilot (here's hoping they don't fall down some hole or other). Anyway - whether it's some quirk or intention of the universe in action here ... all in all, I urge one and all to give the show a whirl. I'm betting that more than a fair number of you will find it well worth the while.

This show has a casually spectacular lead actor, with a lovable and well-acted supporting cast. The show balances comedy with stories of growth and redemption. The small acts of kindness that transform people's lives is played out in rich and effective ways. All-around great show, thanks for taking the risk ABC.

If Jason Ritter isn't the most likable guy on TV, then who is? He's flat-out adorable in Kevin Probably Saves The World. Great at the comedy. Real and vulnerable. And deft enough to sell what isn't a particularly convincing premise for a show and episodic situations that aren't all that gripping. In short, despite some amusing comic schtick and some good writing along the way, this show never quite flies. And it doesn't help that the touched-by-an-angel like premise is not a million miles from Joan of Arcadia, in which Ritter co-starred some years ago. But Ritter was clearly a star-in-the-making then, and he's a star here too. Now if only somebody would come up with a vehicle worthy of him.

This was just a wonderful, fun, Loving, heartwarming, uplifting show......So of course it wasn't given more of a chance! I'm so tired of good shows being cancelled, while more and more Stupid reality shows are kept on and duplicated. Jason Ritter is so great to watch, in anything he's in. He is just loveable. This entire cast was great together. The show left you feeling good.

Love this show, please sign it for a second season. Finally a show that makes me laugh and feel good,. instead of all the doctor and cop shows.

I am watching the first episode right now and let me tell ya this is a uplifting and fun show the joy here and the lessons on redemption here alone are a good enough to make you want to watch but they add hilarious humor and heartfelt moments into the mix then you have a terrific show and I cant wait to see where this one goes its just pure joy to enjoy
