    Love the premise and think there is great chemistry with the main characters. Really hope more people give this a chance. Hilarious so far and just the fact that they had Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney together in one episode is next level stuff.

    I am perplexed by the negative response to this series, which I find very funny. It's one of those series with a bunch of wacky people being wacky, with a Ted Baxterish captain, a Russian gambler who runs constant side bets on every drama, a stripper, and two flight attendants, one witty, one neurotic, and an English guy the neurotic one may or may not wind up dating. Plus guest starsI am perplexed by the negative response to this series, which I find very funny.

Plus guest stars that includes a corpse.

    I almost didn't watch this because of all the negative reviews, and probably did so only because there was a short-lived TV series in an airport years ago that I really liked. I should ignore critics, but there's just so much TV it's hard to check out everything.

    Anyway, ignore the critics. At least watch the trailer on youtube, which convinced me to give the series a chance. Seriously, it's very funny.    … Expand

    So LA to Vegas is a good show. The jokes are mostly funny but are no match for other shows like South Park and Family Guy. The problem is that how can this make us laugh a lot if the story is half empty?

    The premise of LA to Vegas reminds me of the show The Guest Book, i.e., a core cast of characters with a new group of supporting characters each week. The plane's captain is just wrong for the role, or maybe the script is mis-written for him. Either way, I've started to skip past his scenes, as they add little to the show.

    Maybe it will work better than The Guest Book (not difficult    The premise of LA to Vegas reminds me of the show The Guest Book, i.e., a core cast of characters with a new group of supporting characters each week.

    Maybe it will work better than The Guest Book (not difficult to do) but I doubt it. The premise seems too contrived.

    I'm going to watch a couple more weeks with the hope it improves.    … Expand

    I originally gave LA To Vegas a review of 4, but now that I've seen a couple more episodes, I'm changing it to ZERO! You know there's a tiny little Canadian sitcom called KIM's CONVENIENCE that's filmed in Toronto. Kim's Convenience is WAY funnier and better in every way and it puts LA To Vegas to absolute shame! I think Fox needs to declare MAYDAY and pull the plug on this shamefully,I originally gave LA To Vegas a review of 4, but now that I've seen a couple more episodes, I'm changing it to ZERO!

    This is a fresh, funny, well written show with a terrific cast. My whole family looks forward to watching it every week. I don't understand how Fox could even consider cancelling this excellent show, but that's what online sources are claiming. Please don't cancel one of the rare comedy jewels available.

    Two days into 2018 and we have a frontrunner for the worst new show of the year. LA to Vegas (the official title doesn't have periods, which sounds like a line this show would turn into a joke) is shockingly bad. Not the kind of show you should watch just to see how awful it is, but definitely a show so bad that someone at Fox should be fired over it.

    These early episodes have some of the usual growing pains first-year comedies go through as the creative team figures out what’s funny about each actor and character; they’ve already solved McDermott/Dave, so you have to wait to see if the others can catch up.

    Quirky and unlike any current TV comedies, it’s got smart, dumb-funny humor and a great comedic turn by Mr. McDermott.
