Love Raising Hope. Watched it after New Girl, surprised how funny it was. It's very truthful and I've loved Martha Plimpton since The Goonies. The situations are perfectly written.

Martha Plimpton is great. This is a good show. Not the funniest on TV, but still pretty dayum good. I am surprised at how much backlash this gets, it doesn't deserve any of it.

I do really like this. It may not be the best show on TV, but it is one of the funniest. Virginia and Burt are the best parts, it reminds me of Malcolm in the Middle. That's a good thing.

An absolute joy to watch. Extremely underrated and extremely funny. Everybody shines. The writing is fresh and unique. Along with Parks and Recreation the best show on TV.

This is the only show I actually make time for. I love Martha Plimpton (she was in The Goonies!!!!!) and Garret Dillahunt is awesome. Lucas Neff is becoming a better actor in every episode!!!!! Don't even get me started on Maw-Maw. It's LOL funny.
