    Not typically the type of show that we watch but I've been sucked in by Alice I Think. It's witty, simple and not over-the-top. Oddly enough, while based on books aimed at teens, the humour definitely has an adult theme at points (like The Simpsons).The collection of actors is very captivating. From the Gemini-nominated Rebecca Northan (read a nice Q&A article with Rebecca in U magazine published by her alma mater U. of Calgary - search for it on their site) to the relative newcomer with the large resume Connor Price (see him with Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man) to the hard-working and multi-talented Dan Payne (Stargate, multiple Muppets projects, multiple other movies), Carly McKillip has a great 'supporting' cast (she's no slouch either). Of course, Carly is the title character but her family takes on an equally important role in portraying this quirky BC family.I think this show will need about another 5-6 episodes under its belt before we fully understand each character a bit better. We've seen glimpses of John's persona when he dreamt of a Tetris-filled life and saw his 'paranoia' with fame after his rookie photo shoot. I still think that Diane and Mac need some more time until we see who they really are. The other true supporting cast member (Marcus, Finn,...) are slowly rounding out as well.Overall, very enjoyable. Hopefully will be around for a while.

    Great show, my three kids are in the same age bracket as the children on this show and they love it. Entertaining characters, have only seen two episodes but am looking forward to seeing further development of the characters and how they feed off each other. All four of the main "family" characters are very colorful, favorites are Alice and her Dad as they seem to be the most well developed humorous characters. Looking forward to tonight's episode where the handsome Dad does some goofy modeling. Dan Payne does a great job of playing a sensitive yet somewhat bumbling father in this show, his comedic presence definitely brings a very funny warmth to the show.

    I have only had the opportunity to watch one episode of the great new comedy, "Alice I Think" but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I watched the episode a second time immediately and laughed through the whole show both times. I sincerely hope that a US network or cable channel will choose to add the show to their lineup so that it will be shown in the United States. I think US audiences would enjoy it very much. I will be visiting Vancouver for several days in August and hope to see more episodes at that time. I thought all of the performers did a great job but I particularly enjoyed Dan Payne's performance as Alice's father, John.

    I was fortunate enough to attend the private premiere of the half hour comedy series, Alice I think. We watched Episode 6 and 10. I think that the series has the right ingredients to be successful as a Canadian production. The acting is good and the characters well cast. There will be a lot of teenage girls that will relate to the Carly McKillip character, Alice and a lot of teenage boys that will be fantasizing about being Alice's boyfriend. The two episodes that we watched did a good job of mixing, believability, relatability and humor. Dan Payne's performance as Alice's dad will definitely have people tuning in to see what will happen next. I look forward to its general release.
