Alice, I Think

I found this programme to be absolutely hilarious! I was in hysterics from the word go! The cast seem to gel well together and Dan Payne was great as the dad, he certainly had some great lines that left me laughing! I have not read the books, but I may look into getting hold of them now. The show is told, in parts, from teenager Alice's point of view. However there is focus on both the parents and her brother too, giving those actors the chance to shine. I particularly enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just about Alice. The show has much potential and I would love to see it continue to grow. I would highly recommend this show to both adults and teens as it provides comedy for both levels.

Not typically the type of show that we watch but I've been sucked in by Alice I Think. It's witty, simple and not over-the-top. Oddly enough, while based on books aimed at teens, the humour definitely has an adult theme at points (like The Simpsons).

The collection of actors is very captivating. From the Gemini-nominated Rebecca Northan (read a nice Q&A article with Rebecca in U magazine published by her alma mater U. of Calgary - search for it on their site) to the relative newcomer with the large resume Connor Price (see him with Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man) to the hard-working and multi-talented Dan Payne (Stargate, multiple Muppets projects, multiple other movies), Carly McKillip has a great 'supporting' cast (she's no slouch either). Of course, Carly is the title character but her family takes on an equally important role in portraying this quirky BC family.

I think this show will need about another 5-6 episodes under its belt before we fully understand each character a bit better. We've seen glimpses of John's persona when he dreamt of a Tetris-filled life and saw his 'paranoia' with fame after his rookie photo shoot. I still think that Diane and Mac need some more time until we see who they really are. The other true supporting cast member (Marcus, Finn,...) are slowly rounding out as well.

Overall, very enjoyable. Hopefully will be around for a while.

Ohhhh.....I wish I could live in Canada to see this new comedy show on a regular basis...unfortunately I only had the chance to see one single episode, but it was worth it! I had a very good laugh and was very impressed that Canadian Comedy could be that good, for I do not know much about Canadian TV (exept for some Scifi shows...). The actors all were very talented, it was a lot of fun to watch. The idea of Alice giving short "interviews" about her current situation was very good, I liked especially that a lot. Dan Payne, who plays Alice's father, made an outstanding performance, very funny, very...different.

I really hope to see more of this show. Hopefully it will air in Germany one day, I would *love* to see more of it. Very entertaining, very surprising!

My wife and I have seen the first 3 episodes and the characters are really starting to grow on us. Great casting for the characters. Should be a hit, can't wait to see the rest of the season. Alice, the dad John and the meat eating vegan with the hairy armpits are my favorite so far. The best part is it's an actual funny Canadian made series, haven't had one of those since kids in the hall. Hopefully we don't lose great comedian writers to all the late shows that are in the states so that we continue to have great Canadian programs like Alice, I Think.

I'll be sure to tell others so that there is more than one season of this show, hate to lose it.

I was fortunate enough to attend the private premiere of the half hour comedy series, Alice I think. We watched Episode 6 and 10. I think that the series has the right ingredients to be successful as a Canadian production. The acting is good and the characters well cast. There will be a lot of teenage girls that will relate to the Carly McKillip character, Alice and a lot of teenage boys that will be fantasizing about being Alice's boyfriend. The two episodes that we watched did a good job of mixing, believability, relatability and humor. Dan Payne's performance as Alice's dad will definitely have people tuning in to see what will happen next. I look forward to its general release.
