I really hope they decide not to cancel this show. It is such a fun show and different than the rest. I laugh every week at the antics of the characters. They're all fun in their own way. I know if people would get a chance to see this they'd love it too. I think it's one of the funniest new shows I've seen in a while. Please keep it on the air FOX! I really love it!

The good news is that "Making History" has a premise and a lead (Leighton Meester) with promise. The bad news is that the comedic choices of the writing doom any chance the show has to resonate with any viewer unbaked. Adam Pally is GREAT everywhere BUT here and the material as written seems a major cause? In the pilot he offered goofy and endearing hope but ever since he seems lost within TERRIBLE writing? Each of the 3 story arcs so far have taken us to fascinating locales but with ZERO comedic payoff. Al Capone and Founding Fathers as comedic foils have proved to be comedic lead. These choices (like Hitler's spoon) suggest show runners with terrible (and addled) judgment. Wastes of talent and money as exemplified by "Making History" is proof positive that network television comedy is bereft of producers, writers and network executives with the chops required to deliver comedy above the bar of sub-mentality. And I'm an Adam Pally fan.

I'm a post-modern human being so watching TV-Series is, of course, one of my favourite things, except that shows containing a lot of earnest violence, tension, cliff hangers, love triangle situations, murder, sadness and/or a general abundance of negative situations stress me out more than they entertain me.I'm the kind of person who enjoys shows that employ a "make-fun-of-yourself- sometimes" kind of humor, have relatable characters, plots that are fun to follow and at least one female character that's not just there to make the male ones look tough. That's why I like 'Making History'! It has/does all of the above. It's hilarious, and manages to be that without making insensitive cheap-shot jokes about gender or race! There definitely are a lot of jokes based on stereotypes, but they usually go against and not with them and I like that a lot.I recommend this series to people who enjoy shows such as 'New Girl', 'Modern Family' and 'Parks and Recreation'. It's just really good for relaxing and having a good time, and it's also great for watching with friends that enjoy different genres of shows but all like a good laugh, since elements from several genres kind of come together here. As in those other shows the actors here seem really good at their jobs, and the terrible jokes are delivered with great comedic timing so that they are extra funny.I would not recommend it to people who need sequences about time travel to be science-y and believable, think sarcasm is the best kind of humor and/or hate puns, because this show will probably annoy them.

is growing a little tired, haven't we been here and done this already?As so often is the case, I find myself admitting I didn't even make it through the pilot episode, so it may well be that this show is awesome, but...I wouldn't guess that is the case given the first/pilot episode was enough to put me off exploring this any further, despite having 3 episodes to watch watching in the wings (the were deleted without viewing).The acting was terrible, the script was about as creative as a dry dog poo on the pavement, and the humour, well I guess perhaps Americans might be amused, but as a non American I found this about as funny as the aforementioned dog poo. There were no redemption elements in this show at all, no even a cute actor to make the rest of this dogs breakfast worth viewing - alas.What amazes me is how shows like this manage to find an audience, when poor old Katherine Heigl still struggles to make it past 3 episodes.... perhaps she should try comedy because obvious the bar is incredibly low on what continues and what doesn't.So, if you're American or like American humour (lacks intelligence and wit), then go ahead, waste your life on this, otherwise I would suggest moving on and spending your time in a more advantageous way elsewhere - like walking the dog or watching paint dry.
