    I've only seen the first episode and I rather enjoyed it. I actually laughed out loud a couple times, which I don't normally do with today's modern sitcoms. Sara Gilbert's appearance was a pleasant surprise. The comedic timing in this show seems to be just right. Not really liking the wife's character yet (I don't even remember her name!) I think physically, she just doesn't look rightI've only seen the first episode and I rather enjoyed it.

    I'm seeing some modest and even some poor reviews on here about Living Biblically, but I hope the viewers give this show a chance to shine. It's a million times funnier than L.A. To Vegas and 9JKL.    … Expand

    Didn't expect much from the series after reading some reviews, but it really impressed me how it made me feel, It felt good watching the season. It's not full terrifically fun but it gives really nice enjoyable moment and laughs.

    This is an amiable enough little comedy series that doesn’t use religion as a punching bag.

    It isn't really much like the A.J. Jacobs book it's allegedly based on, so don't go looking for Jacobs' quirky and obsessive look at religion and the Bible. It is, however, a mediocre-yet-well-meaning look at how religion, specifically Catholicism, can sometimes help people in times of trouble. It's less specific and pointed and more generic and well-meaning.

    Even setting aside the show's lack of interest in the complexity of faith, it's greatest sin is simply not being funny enough. The characters are too thin and familiar to generate laughs on their own, and some jokes rely too heavily on references while others just don't make sense.
