Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris

This show was completely lifeless. I even said to my boyfriend while watching it, "What is the point of this show?" I just didn't understand what was supposed to be happening because it was so all over the place. First, there was a guest host, then there was audience participation, then a band was playing, then a game, and then a celebrity showed up....It just kept jumping from one random thing to the next. Not to mention it seemed very scripted with the audience members. It wasn't entertaining; random stuff just kept happening and it was just boring. I certainly will never watch it again, and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. I would not be the least bit surprised if this gets canceled.

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.

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.

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.

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".
