Fox TV: Raising Hope

[lmcconne]

Is anyone else watching? If not, I'm afraid it will get the axe.

I find it a cute show which makes me laugh out loud at least once ever show.

I Love, love Kerri Russell!.. heart her, .. i tried, really hard to get into this show.. i found it incredibly boring.. hate the male lead.. hate the premise..
watched 2 times and couldn't finish either time
... its very badly put together..

Kerri is excellent and even more gorgeous ( and yes, I'm straight, lol but she's soo talented and funny .. loved in August Rush, The Waitress)..
but besides kerri, theres nothing there, that i find amusing..
it falls really flat.. imo.. badly cast.. poorly written ..

I hope Kerri sticks to movies! I don't find the male lead , handsome , funny, or good in any way.. ( i've heard he was.. but i dont' like him in this show.. never seen him before)..

Raising Hope is the one that is on right before that Keri Russell show, Running Wilde. I agree with your review of RW, Whispered. It seems forced and I can't quite put my finger on what it is that I don't care for...maybe its too preachy about the big oil, tree hugging type stuff. But, it is not my favorite, even though I love her. The Raising Hope show is a lot funnier. It's more of an Earl, Roseanne, white-trash kind of funny.

Sorry, havn't seen it, but just poking my head where it doesn't belong and gotta say my two pennies worth

I like Keri Russell too. Bon Jovi I Will Always love you video OMG her hair was out of control!!!
And who could forget the Felicity Scandal when she cut her hair!!!!! (BTW I loved that show)
I think she is wonderful in TV if you find the right part and co actors for her. and the girls and I love bedtime stories too!
Good luck to her in finding the next good gig!

ohh you're right aimeebee, thks for the correction
ok, so raising hope, is the teenage son, w/ the weird parents, and yeah, you caterogized that right.. earl, roseanne type..

but for ops sake, i'll hope it gets renewed, hows that?

I've never seen felicity.. i know gasp, but i do remember the huge "scandal" , when she cut her hair and the ratings seriously dropped..
our society is sooo "fake".

I am with whispered, I must stop watching more shows, I have to cut back on what I watch already.

I LOVE Raising hope, and I hope it doesnt get the ax, all shows are a little rocky in the beginning, but this one is really funny, I think it could be a great hit.
