Kevin (Probably) Saves the World

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.

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.

Okay let's get this out of the way. First off, Kevin is kinda a knucklehead, but I can't help but relate to him. He expresses himself so openly and transparently that it makes me appreciate the child in us all. But Kevin Is also bold when he needs to be and willing to acknowledge his own shortcomings (albeit with the help of his soulful guardian). This is a quality I find severely lacking and not often addressed either in entertainment or real life. The producers are sending the obvious message of return to traditional family values vs let's just throw more grit and eye candy on the screen for the sheeple. It is a bold move, but I applaud it and look forward to any effort of its like.

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.

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.
