I watched the 1st episode and it was pretty good. To anybody else who seen it, do you think it'll flip or flop?

It was great, especially the food fight scene! I'm not sure which is better yet--I'm With Her or Hope & Faith! Both have impressed me.

Last night's TGIF block was off to a good start, #1 among viewers 18-49 and second overall; mainly because of George Lopez and Hope & Faith. CBS's dramas were #1, but are aimed for older viewers. As for NBC, what a bad move by moving Law & Order: SVU to Tuesdays, Alicia Silverstone's show didn't do anything. FOX was a dud, Luis might be the first new sitcom canceled I think now.

I watched "Hope and Faith" last night and I liked it so much that I am willing to go out on a limb and say that this is definitely THE best new sitcom of the season. Of course, I said the same thing about "8 Simple Rules" last year---and I was right!!! To me, this show seems to be a combination of "8 Simple Rules" and "Laverne and Shirley", which can only be good! The one objection I have is that I wish that Kelly Ripa's character would be a little less on the dense side in future episodes. Some of her lines made Kelly Bundy seem like a genius by comparison. And, like many others, I enjoyed the food fight scene. It brought a much-needed touch of slapstick and physical humour which is sadly missing from most of today's sitcoms, who tend to over-emphasize verbal humor in going for more cheap laughs. Happily, I have read in "Entertainment Weekly" that "Hope and Faith" will continue to provide more physical stunts, depending on the situation that the two female leads find themselves in. In short, this looks like a winner to me without any doubt at all.

Ted McGinley can finally relax---and break out the "Shark" repellent to celebrate his good fortune!

Flip. I thought it was good. Pretty funny. This show has tons of stuff to play off of. I agree with Sal on Kelly Ripa's character, though the character is quite hilarious being a little dumbed down and self-absorbed. They kind of overdid it with Faith Ford's Hope being a prude and what-not, but hopefully that fades a little bit. I'm pretty sure though, the pilot was mainly to let us see just how different the two sisters are, which is why their characteristics seem to take over. Anyone with me on that? lol. I can't wait to watch next week. The description looks good.

Hello!

Though I've been a fan of Kelly Ripa's work since she first turned Pine Valley on it's ear, and then doing the same for Live!, I had trepidations about Hope and Faith... (Faith Ford "ain't" no slouch, either)

I was prepared for the worst, and suffered through a whole houre of George Lopez (There is a reason sitcoms are 30 minutes! :D ) expecting - hoping - to be mildly entertained...

If you asked me, I would have sworn on a stack of bibles that I did NOT like slapstick nor food fights...

Well, hmmm... Guess what! I laughed till I cried... Last night was even better!

If this show is not a hit, there is no justice... It has garnered the highest TGIF ratings both weeks now, though it did drop a point this week..

I'm glad to see the poll indicates the same..

;0))

Guess I'm in the minority here but I watched the first episode and won't return for another. I think it is the worst new show on television.

Definately Flip! Who could not like this show? It's one of the best things to watch, and it's really hilarious!

I find this show is very entertaining. Hope and Faith seem reminiscent of Laverne and Shirley.

Ok I have to be the negative one here...it is going to flip. though I see it as a huge flop. I think it is totally flat -the set, the acting, the plots..I just can't fee las if there is any sort of depth here. It is not even TGIF level. I love Kelli Ripa in the morning's but she doesn't make it here with me. I have to admit I sort of thought the first episode was ok because I though they were working the bugs out all shows kind of suck the first episode but they have gotten progressively worse in weeks to come. .
