Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris

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!

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.

I haven't had so much fun watching a TV show in ages! NPH is fantastic as usual, as is all the talent appearing on the show. I was very impressed with the guest stars, and also with co-host Nicole Scherzinger. To think the show is genuinely live makes it all the more impressive.

Look for trivia-type games with great prizes, heartwarming hidden camera bits (which brought back childhood memories of Art Linkletter's House Party, but for the social media era), live involvement of the at-home audience in addition to the studio audience, musical numbers with a twist, and funny, good-natured stunts and pranks. (No meanness, thank goodness!) And that was just the type of segments in the first episode, which means there are probably many other types of segments to look forward to in future shows. If it maintains this tone and stays this fun, it will be must-see live TV for this usually cynical, time-shifting TV viewer.

I am not familiar with the UK show that inspired it, but I grew up in the golden era of variety TV, where vaudeville was brought into our homes by the likes of Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, and Sonny and Cher. Variety petered out because vaudeville lost its relevance. This is a fitting update for the 21st Century, and I hope everyone finds it as relevant as I do!

TV Review: Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris. With director Glenn Weiss (Peter Pan Live - 2014) at the helm, and NPH wearing too many hats (Host, Writer and Producer), this new series (inspired by the U.K. program "Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway") was not the best time ever! Sure, the production was live, but that doesn't mean it gets a "pass" on being good, interesting or entertaining. Heck, if Weiss couldn't pull off "Peter Pan Live," why would NPH think he could pull off his live show? The various entertainment segments were time consuming and less than interesting, guest announcer Reese Witherspoon appeared forced in everything she participated in, and poor Gloria Gaynor looked out of place. I think one of the "The Voice" judges summed up the show best (after being punked by NPH) by saying "What the ...." In the words of the "Shark Tank" panelist "For that reason, I'm out".

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.
