Reviews

hejsamester Writing and acting of this quality belongs inside Pandora's box. The jokes are as bad and clean as on Full House, and the setup for them is so fake it hurts watching. People might like the goofy Kelly Ripa as Faith Fairchild character, but honestly, it hurts to watch middle aged women act like stupid children in order to make them seem funny. Her sister, the responsible one, isn't any better. She exemplifies the type of woman, who've never realized who she is, and never achieved any of her dreams expect the one of a house, a husband and some children. What a sad example of role models.Parring up a stupid and a boring person doesn't really make great comedy - it's just an easy way out for a lot of boring morales without impact and for a bit of lazy attempts at slapstick comedy. All seen before a long time ago.America; you've brought some good comedy to the world, but when you make things like this, you really start lacking behind the European countries. Please don't export more of this, just keep it to yourselves.
calcio1518 You watch this show to look at Kelly Ripa prance around in her skimpy (albeit fashionably clueless) outfits and her underwear. She's a minx. And she's always got on hot the f-me Manolo Blahniks on her sexy feet. Everything about this chick is sexy.The daughter is smoking hot, too (and you know which one I mean, as I think she was replaced for one season or something).I love that people complain about the jokes and situations being "tired" and "done before". What show ISN'T? Name a current sitcom that is any more original than Hope & Faith. You cannot. Prgamming note: This show airs is on that WE network, so just remember to hit the mute button when the "Bridezilla" promos come on- or you will really do some damage to your ears (and nerves).
MorphFox This show is the funniest that I have seen in awhile. I wish they would bring it back. They really need to release them on D.V.D. Watching this show, I laugh my head off sometimes. They did a really good job on this one and they need to bring it back. Kelly and Faith really make a good team. They are really funny together. Me and my family wish they would bring them back on the air. Most of you guys are like this guy is stupid. That's your thoughts. If you don't like what I put on here, I don't really care.

itsrabbitseason Kelly Ripa, one of Regis Philbin's second banana's plays Faith, a washed up daytime Soap Star who goes to live with her homemaking sister Hope(Faith Ford from Murphy Brown.) and her husband(Ted McGinley: The Monkey Paw of DOOM for TV.) who detests the dim 30 something actress still desperately pretending to be a teenager and famous when she is ridiculously not to hilarious consequences.This tired sitcom has been on for three years and is no more complicated than an episode of I love Lucy with out the old world charm. For some reason all the good TV has gone off the air and this cud has found its way into prime time so I got a more than unpleasant look at it last Wednesday night. They were Tom Sawyering a fake death which excused the brutish husband into being extra coarse, telling Kelly Ripa to die for real, which is when I noticed the plot and the characters were from A Street Car Named Desire.So, yes that guy who killed Happy Days and Love boat(Ted might not have made the head shot, but he gets partial credit for the fall of Sports Night.) is Stanley, and Kelly Ripa is Blanche. I wonder if Kelly's oblivious to playing one of the greatest America female parts, or she's ten times smarter than Regis silently laughing at the inside joke? I'm really curious how Tennessee would have reacted seeing such a freaking cartoon? He was an angry drunk right? Of course the only really serious point to take from all this is that Ted McGinley is walking in Brando's shadow.... OMG! Even compare Ted and Marlon's characters names are bizzarro counterparts of one another!Charley Shanowski Stanley KowalskiThat's a wonky spoonerism. This is no accident, hell, it's probably always been pitched as a homage and I'm just dim.
