Worst Show Ever
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.

Best Show Ever!
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.
Finally something hilarious I can watch with the kids
No spoilers. Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris is my new favorite TV show. It's hilarious and wonderful. I am pleased that I can finally enjoy a show with my children! Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris is appropriate for all ages. I'm gleaning from other reviewers that it was inspired by another program in the UK. If that's true, it makes sense because Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris has an absurdist, tongue-in-cheek humor that seems to be slowly catching on in American comedy. It's overdone and ridiculous, but it's *masterfully* so. NPH is perfect. Nicole Scherzinger is perfect. I love LNPH! Love the A list temporary co-hosts! I wouldn't change anything about what these great entertainers are doing. In response to reviewers who complained that the audience participants did not seem authentically surprised, I respectfully suggest that this program's humor may simply not be the best match for you. The "reality" angle is brilliant if you appreciate that sort of thing.
Uneventful and boring.
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!

Bring This Show Back!!
As usual, a great show like this has been canceled, yet the completely stupid, boring, predictable and moronic shows like Two Broke Girls remain on the air. T.V. "execs" have no clue these days. I bet they would have canceled Doogie after one season, too. This is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time and I looked forward to watching it. NPH is awesome, as always and this show brought real entertainment back to television. I sincerely hope a different network picks this up and brings it back. The network obviously does not know a great show when they see one, Ratings were not as high as the network expected, so they cut the show? It happens all the time..most likely an inexperienced person running the show. Hey..any other network with an eye for what the public wants to see...we want shows like this..Please pick it up for another season in a good time slot...You won't regret it!
