um what the hell??? I loved this show! I can' believe it got canceled. Loved the actors and especially loved how original it was! people are always asking for original shows, and when they get them say they are stupid. well I loved this show and am sad to see it got canceled. The way the show took on controversial topics was impressive, how many other shows dive right in with teenage pregnancy ( and don't idiolize it like secrets of an American teenager or teen mom), inter-racial relationships, age gaps wihin relationships, sexuality and how to deal with a disappointing child all at the same time. I thought this show was modern, it was heartfelt and most importantly it was funny! Anyone who says it wasn't as no sense of humor and doesn't understand the complexities that come from having a non-traditional family.

The incredibly stupid, obnoxious son of the President is Skip. Skip is a thoroughly unlikeable character who completely spoils a show that MIGHT otherwise have some comedic potential.It's a small wonder that NBC is running low in the ratings with dreck like this. Whoever green lights crap like this at the network needs to be fired NOW. The tone of this show is along the lines of another NBC bomb called WHITNEY and a tasteless CBS entry titled 2 BROKE GIRLS.NBC was once a broadcast pioneer with an incredible pool of talent and a great staff of journalists. Somewhere along the way, the network lost its way and turned into the uber-liberal cesspool it is today.

I love a good comedy. 1600 Penn is not one of them. To sit through the pilot was worse than going to the dentist! I actually couldn't wait for it to end! I kept waiting for it to get funny but it never happened. Bill Pullman should be ashamed of himself. He looked so out of place on this show. Do they even show this to people before airing it on prime time television to see if they think it is good? I don't even want to watch another episode to see if it improves. That is how bad this show is. I hate to be a downer but that is my truthful opinion of this train wreck NBC calls a comedy. I can see why the cable networks are killing the major networks. Shows like this are proof!

Everyone likes Bill Pullman so lets make him president and surround him with the new modern dysfunctional suburbia family, like not one reporter would pick up on this crowd, and the hjinks in the White House will be awesome. If I were the writer(s), I would pay to be sure my name doesn't show up in any credit. If network TV is trying to prove there is no creativity out there then they have made their point. It appears that four episodes of this series were made; why, didn't anyone watch the first? A better title for this might be, the last family at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. Pullman better look for a new agent because this one sold him out; I at least hope the money was good. Josh Gad may have been the darling of The Book of Mormon but here he is misused.
