Bless This Mess

Love it! No laugh track. No crappy loud background music. No PC preachy political agendas. Just a half hour of funny. I love the characters. It is a half hour of no violence, no bad language. And....Yes there is some nudity. I have seen those cute farm animals without pants or tops. Actually, it is the only sitcom where the the actors don't come off as trying too hard to get a laugh. I wish there more sitcoms like it.

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.

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.

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.

Dax and Lake are great together. The humor is witty and you may easily miss some of the jokes if your not quick. No laugh tracks which is a huge positive. I'd like to see this continue. Nice to relax after a long day and enjoy some country humor.
