Raising Hope Audience Reviews

Steineded How sad is this?
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
lorraineelise4 Raising hope is an amazing show. The first time i started watching it was about 5 days ago and i'm almost done with the entire show. I just found out its not eve on TV anymore and i was so upset about that. I grew so attached to the characters that i would rather my family be there family. It shows that money isn't such a big deal when you have a loving family to share that experience with you and not fight over money. The personality's of these charterers are so different that you almost feel like you know them personal. I would give this a rating of 20 stars of i could. They need to put raising hope back on the air because these are the kind of shows people should be watching these days.
The_late_Buddy_Ryan A binge-watchable sitcom with consistently good writing, enjoyably over-the-top plot lines, a great cast and a great premise—goofy son of working-class family impregnates serial killer during their first and only encounter, gets custody of the baby... Martha Plimpton is always fabulous; nice that Garret Dillahunt gets to play a good-hearted family guy this time instead of a snitch ("12 Years a Slave") or a psycho ("Deadwood"); Cloris Leachman (b. 1926) rocks out as intermittently lucid Maw Maw, and the younger cast members are adorable. I was sorry that Fox made showrunner Gregory Garcia change the original title—"Keep Hope Alive"—but on the plus side each episode is only 21 minutes long, so if you watch the whole series on streaming, you'll be missing over 13 hours of commercials...
Shopaholic35 Raising Hope is like My Name Is Earl's weird bogan cousin. Still incredibly funny but not quite as good. It would make sense that the comedy style and idea are very similar as they are both from the same creator.Initially I thought the episodes were hilarious but as I progressed I realised that the characters were not as charming or endearing. They are extremely rough around the edges and pretty gross. I still can't help but laugh though.One of my favourite parts of the show is seeing the actor crossovers from My Name Is Earl. It's nice to see familiar faces take on a new role. I also really enjoy the family dynamic of the Chance family. When it counts they are there for each other. It's nice.Overall Raising Hope is a funny show that has a few blah moments but is mostly successful.
SnoopyStyle Jimmy Chance (Lucas Neff) has an one-night stand with crazed death row murderer. She's executed, and he's left with the baby. Now he's a single dad living with his parents (Garret Dillahunt, Martha Plimpton) and his grandma (Cloris Leachman). He falls for check out girl Sabrina (Shannon Woodward).From the same people who created 'My Name Is Earl', it has the same sense of ridiculous humor. I love the comedy, but I love the family more. Martha Plimpton has always struck me as Virginia, the loud nurturing type. The family is in the lower income class similar to the Bundys in 'Married with Children'. And they're almost as funny.
