The Help Made me laugh hard - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This show was so good. I watched the debut of it and it was great. I haven't laughed so hard at a new show since the debut of Scrubs. This show is a keeper. Plus it was great to see so many past tv stars back on tv.

I didn't like it. It was stupid and unfunny.

This may be the stupidest show I have ever seen. Not once did I laugh. I told my wife the only reason I wouldn't turn it off is so I could say that I watched at least one episode and would be able to judge it.

What amazes me is that a group of people got together, made this show and actually had the nerve to put it on television, thinking it was funny.

Horrendous..............worse than Stan Hooper, worse than Watching Ellie and yes, even worse than Baby Bob.

yup and it was mentioned in next week's TV Guide too. This show blows. I feel bad for Mindy Cohn being on such a flop. She's too good for this crap.

what comment was made? I read in TV Guide, it got a Jeers for a tasteless joke about Ritter. What was the joke?

one of the characters said:

"I haven't seen that much phony emotion since the promos for 8 Simple Rules."

The promos for 8 Simple Rules were about the loss of John Ritter and it was just mean to say something like that.

same here I haven't watched an episode since and I removed it from my Season Pass on Tivo

that is just so wrong and so disrespectful

This show is seriously stupid...I only watch it for the Chauffeur

Mr. Television · 04-10-2004, 03:26 PM

I've never watched one episode and I don't intend to.

TVJunkie101 · 04-11-2004, 09:46 AM

I'm not afraid to admit I thought it was hilarious.

I missed the episode with the statement on John Ritter, and as a fan of his, 8 Simple Rules, Three's Company, etc., that was absolutely in poor taste.

It is a stupid show, but it is kind of funny. I'm more into classic television, but I found the show funny, but I kind of doubt it will be picked up, though I hope it is.

FOL Fan 410 · 05-04-2004, 08:29 PM

I agree what a crule thing to say....John was a good man and would have never mad a remark like that about some one else if it was the other way around. I love Mindy Cohn...Natalie rocks!!! I have never watched the Help but did any one laugh at that "joke"? Please let me know thanks....

I can't believe you're acting this way over a stupid remark on a TV show! I'm a fan of John Ritter, but I thought it was funny. It's TV people!!
