Perfect Harmony

I think the first episode is one of the best tv comedy episodes I ever saw. It has genuine wit like something by Shaw or Wilde or Twain, and genuine heart, although in the context of comedy well made (contrived) plot structure. I was astounded when I found not every one shared my reaction

I'm not sure if the critical reviewers actually watched the same Program I did. This program is outright funny. The music is outstanding and the characters as presented are real. One might actually grow to love them all, even with their all too human flaws.

I watched the pilot and I actually laughed at some of it. I love love LOVE any show with music and anything that is uplifting. So if anyone is looking for that, watch it! It definitely reminds me of Sister Act, Glee and a little bit of Pitch Perfect. (Anna Camp is cool!) A music professor helps out a small town choir to win a competition. They used a "mash up" (Glee did these also) with two songs. The music wasn't so great. Would I watch it again? Probably. It might take a few more episodes to get into it. I'm surprised at how short it was...wish it was longer than 30 minutes.

Most good TV shows need a few episodes before they come together. I'm really hoping this is one of them. The first episode had a lot of potential it just didn't quite reach - but I have hope that it improves quickly. In its favor - Bradley Whitford, characters that aren't stereotypes, some clearly good singers, and an overall positive message. As someone who has been in a number of choirs before, I'll be interested to see how realistic this turns out to be.

This is just a really nice feel good show. It's a little corny, but the music is really well done, with characters that help you forget about your problems each week!
