    I love this show!

    Perhaps not suited for people that don't pay attention (there is a lot of stuff going on in the background). I watch it and always mutter that "this show is REALLY WRONG on so many levels (even say "f***ed up often)" but in a good way. It reminds me of "Blazing Saddles" and Animal House and the "Airplane" movies. Mindless entertainment at a time when we need it I think.

    Fresh, Fun, Hilarious

    Absolutely one of the best comedies in years! ! John Lithgow shines in this as he does in everything. The thing is that every single cast member is Amazing! Seriously, I had no idea how addicting this show was going to be. I can't recommend it highly enough! We laugh from beginning to end. Every episode somehow finds a way to be better than the previous one. Can't wait for season 2!

    Trial & Error: Quirky, Fun, Twisty-Turny, and Absolutely Freakin' Hilarious!

    OMG!!! This show is so much fun.

    I'm so looking forward to this show's return! It went on such a long hiatus. It's about time we have a date for season 2. Every episode was hilarious! I think "Trial & Error" definitely deserves a second season. I'm especially happy to hear Chenoweth is joining the cast! She's just great! She'll bring a whole new dynamic I think.

    I watched the whole first season in one day because I was so hooked. The best part is I wasn't expecting to like it. I thought it'd be stupid and cheesy. Boy was I surprised! I was sooo very wrong because it's such a fun and smart comedy. It reminds me of "The Office" and of "Parks and Recreation." I so love these mockumentary style shows. With mentioning these, I do want to say that "Trial & Error" is different from these two in that it's a lot more about the people and their quirks than it is about a workplace.

    Another thing that sets this show apart is the many plot twists and shocking moments, which to me feels very innovative; this is not just a sitcom, it's a serialized comedy.

    Another unique factor is that there are some touches of dark comedy and absurdist humor that really give this show its own identity, which I absolutely adore.

    So brilliantly cast because the cast does a very good job at delivering funny and heartfelt performances. I genuinely laughed a lot. I mean, Jayma Mays may be the weakest link and that is saying A LOT to me because she's great!

    There's more than enough potential for this show to go on. Considering the executive producer wishes to make 7 seasons of this show, and I'm totally up for watching them all if they stay this much fun, remain this witty, and uphold this quality.

    Oh, and, just for the record: Anne is my favorite! She freakin' rocks. I lose it every time she's on the screen. Ugh. Just love her!

    If you haven't been watching this show you're totally missing out on something so funny, smart, and refreshing. You'll find yourself laughing so hard you cry. It's absolutely worth a watch, so what are you waiting for? :o)

    I give "Trial & Error" an 8.1/10.

    Best new comedy in a very long time!

    If you love slapstick characters, fast paced smart writing with endless humor, surprising emotional twists with a murder mystery still being the focus point of this show for the season as a who done it, then Trial & Error is for you.

    This show is so ridiculous & is only going to get better & better as the season progresses, think of it as if Law & Order had a love child with Parks & Rec. :)

    Wonderful and funny! Great Characters

    Really love this show. I liked the characters right off the bat, I laugh out loud at every episodes, multiple times. It's just a good, light, fun show to help you relax and forget about all the sh*t that's happening in the world right now. I look forward to new each new episodes ;-)
