Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris

Not so much the best show ever at all. I think it is mediocre at best.

For starters, I did not want to watch the show because I had a feeling it was going to be lackluster and boring.

My husband wanted to watch it, so I had to record my show so he could watch.

My husband and I were bored throughout the whole show. The only reason he kept watching is in hopes at least "SOMETHING" halfway entertaining would happen.

I got out my phone after 10-15 minutes and played a game I was so bored but he still insisted on finish watching "just in case" it might get better.

I don't recall that we even laughed once throughout the show.

Thankfully my husband said he didn't need to watch it again.

Yay!

Considering the fact that I love variety shows, game shows, and Neil Patrick Harris, I hoped this show would blow me away. Unfortunately, the production glitches, loose timing, mediocre jokes, and seemingly haphazard, over choreographed/produced, and rushed production, was the major flaw in this, yet still savable show.

I feel if he had/would go in more of a variety direction, with skits, reminiscent of Carol Burnett, with the game show segments taking a back seat to the entertainment, he would have a sure-fire hit on his hands. Currently, the games seem to make the show drag painfully along, between "almost great" performances.

Or, take it the direction of the long-running, German show "Wetten Das" where celebrity guests come on for interviews, sketches, etc, whilst simultaneously have contestants perform zany stunts for prizes, and cash, which are checked on throughout the show; sort of like two shows in one.

Hopefully, next season will bring about some changes, as this show definitely has potential, and Mr. Harris does a fantastic job at hosting it, however this show, is in need of some major tweaking.

My husband and I have been watching this show for a number of weeks. It only got better with each episode. It holds your attention because it keeps moving from one exciting thing to another. We were so sad to hear that next week would be the last episode. It's one of the best variety shows I've ever seen, because it has magic, humor, good retro performers, audience participation and variety. Neil Patrick Harris is unbelievable in his quick changes, abilities, humor and talent. He has involved his son in the show. One of the best shows so far was when he celebrated his mother's birthday. He picks co- hosts from all different genres. Not only this, but you can watch it with your kids. I hope they bring this one back.

I love Neal Patrick Harris but this show, it seems to me, is just another attempt by NBC to find a show as good as THE VOICE and it hasn't happened. They have been 'trying' to find another WINNER but even with famous people like Reese Witherspoon and Alec Baldwin, the 20' high club? not funny! I watched about 10 min. and it was just STUPID. Neil is funny but not when jokes have to be written for him. I like people who are funny by nature and not having to have jokes written 'for them' like Chris Rock, Jim Carrey and Ellen Degeneres, just to name 3. people who ARE funny, don't need jokes written 'for' them. i don't think this show will last.

Maybe not the worst ever, but certainly in the conversation. It was hard to tell is it was supposed to be funny, suspenseful, a game show or who knows what.

Everything seemed preplanned and not spontaneous at all. The couple in audience who had a series of surprises exposed to them seemed bored with the whole thing. The woman who won a car and a trip barely seemed excited. Was the whole thing a fix? Was it a big prank on all of us?

Even Neil Patrick Harris seemed like he knew the whole thing was falling flat no matter what he did. I'm guessing he regrets getting involved in this mess at all.

I really wanted to like this show and maybe this train wreck can be saved, but I wouldn't bet a nickel that this show will still be on the air at Thanksgiving.
