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.

Not so much the best show ever at all. I think it is mediocre at best.

For starters, I did not want to watch the show because I had a feeling it was going to be lackluster and boring.

My husband wanted to watch it, so I had to record my show so he could watch.

My husband and I were bored throughout the whole show. The only reason he kept watching is in hopes at least "SOMETHING" halfway entertaining would happen.

I got out my phone after 10-15 minutes and played a game I was so bored but he still insisted on finish watching "just in case" it might get better.

I don't recall that we even laughed once throughout the show.

Thankfully my husband said he didn't need to watch it again.

Yay!

I haven't had so much fun watching a TV show in ages! NPH is fantastic as usual, as is all the talent appearing on the show. I was very impressed with the guest stars, and also with co-host Nicole Scherzinger. To think the show is genuinely live makes it all the more impressive.

Look for trivia-type games with great prizes, heartwarming hidden camera bits (which brought back childhood memories of Art Linkletter's House Party, but for the social media era), live involvement of the at-home audience in addition to the studio audience, musical numbers with a twist, and funny, good-natured stunts and pranks. (No meanness, thank goodness!) And that was just the type of segments in the first episode, which means there are probably many other types of segments to look forward to in future shows. If it maintains this tone and stays this fun, it will be must-see live TV for this usually cynical, time-shifting TV viewer.

I am not familiar with the UK show that inspired it, but I grew up in the golden era of variety TV, where vaudeville was brought into our homes by the likes of Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, and Sonny and Cher. Variety petered out because vaudeville lost its relevance. This is a fitting update for the 21st Century, and I hope everyone finds it as relevant as I do!

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.

My husband and I have been watching this show for a number of weeks. It only got better with each episode. It holds your attention because it keeps moving from one exciting thing to another. We were so sad to hear that next week would be the last episode. It's one of the best variety shows I've ever seen, because it has magic, humor, good retro performers, audience participation and variety. Neil Patrick Harris is unbelievable in his quick changes, abilities, humor and talent. He has involved his son in the show. One of the best shows so far was when he celebrated his mother's birthday. He picks co- hosts from all different genres. Not only this, but you can watch it with your kids. I hope they bring this one back.
