We Are Family

I have always enjoyed Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris together but this show is very hard to stay engaged in. It's SO slow and the commercial breaks make it worse when you are already struggling with momentum. The editing is horrible. No one can possibly be that surprised or shocked by anything happening in this show. Why are the contestants the same? I bet Jamie Foxx thought this would be a hit but I'm sorry, for me, it's a major miss. I'm more bored watching it than anything else. I can't even say what could help because we've seen this show in other shows before. We need not re-invent the wheel here.

Has high hopes but the show moves so slowly. Three mystery singers and a large audience of a very eclectic group of potential players along with a couple of contestants who really have no impact on anything other that chewing up the clock. The rules are explained over and over along with what's next so many times but it's needed because some of it does not make sense and watching it just makes we hope any following episodes get cleaned up. It's sad that the longest lasting game shows are simple but they do not seem to get that. The host does on ok job and I get he likes his mom but I don't tune in for that stuff.

I don't usually leave reviews but I had to put one up to counterbalance the negative reviews this show is getting.

We only have two episodes of this show as of my writing, but I absolutely adore it already.

If you enjoy shows like The Masked Singer, or To Tell The Truth, you'll love this. It has the same host and his momma from To Tell The Truth.

It's pretty simple to understand the rules, and it's fun to guess who the secret celebrity is behind the screen. They are very recognizable celebrities as well. I won't name names, so I don't give away spoilers, but if you are interested in American pop culture, chances are you will know the celebrities without the blurb they give you to explain who they are.

Fun, and family friendly.

Wow the stakes are low with insignificant prizes that are shared.... So dumb and convoluted. A lot of uninteresting random people talking and joking way too much that are boring! Bring back To Tell The Truth such a better show!! Also they have boring D-list celebrities that add nothing to the show. For me a good game show has as many interesting comics as contestants so the banter is high level and actually entertaining. Also Mama has no real purpose here like she did on To Tell The Truth. So dumb and confusing I predict that it gets cancelled and hopefully To Tell The Truth comes back to Hulu.

If you like celebrity trivia and guessing games, you will like this show. It's nice to see real people being cast to play and win money instead of just "voting" and only seeing celebrities (not that that isn't enjoyable on other shows, don't get me wrong). They've combined it all and it's light and fun! As with all other shows, they usually get better with each season, as they navigate what works and what doesn't. I bet this is going to be just like that! I think it's a great concept, and again, light and fun! Turn off the stress brain for an hour. Anderson and his mama are great! I kinda wanna try out for this one. Lol!
