    It’s the kind of premise Andy Griffith might have considered years ago, but it’s not quite in tune with NBC’s other comedies.

    A show with an engaging ensemble but a bit too many clichés and flat jokes in the premiere.

    The pilot coasts along on the performers’ likability, but they could use some new notes.

    What probably would have been a 100-minute feature film becomes a confusingly gutted 21-minute pilot in which every plot machination is unmotivated, every character shift illogical and every attempted emotional moment unearned. ... Camp does her bubbly best and gets the bulk of the first episode's secondary story, complemented by by Segers' deep-voiced innocence.

    Seems like a worthwhile attempt at something at least a little bit out of the sitcom mould. Like having some music thrown in. A small townSeems like a worthwhile attempt at something at least a little bit out of the sitcom mould. Like having some music thrown in. A small town version of Glee?

    Basically the Grinch meets Andy of Mayberry (except Andy is the waitress in this plot). Supporting characters are shallow, stereotypical and in need of serious development to make this show last past season one. Same for the scripts. Not the worst, but nowhere close to the quality of classic timeless sitcoms.

    Will be a surprise if this gets renewed.    … Full Review »

    The stereotype humor of Perfect Harmony -- rich elitist Yankee professor looking down on "uneducated" southern Appalachian blue collar workersThe stereotype humor of Perfect Harmony -- rich elitist Yankee professor looking down on "uneducated" southern Appalachian blue collar workers -- was funny for about two episodes. Then it turned grating as it became apparent that's the only humor the writers have to offer AND it's the foundation for every other element of the show.

    I gave the show four but I'm checking out. It's a one trick pony that has nothing of lasting value to offer. It's little more than typical Hollywood-bubble writers continuing to denigrate rural/southern people through extreme and outlandish stereotypes just to get a few laughs.

    But at least they cast the right person to play the elitist, holier-than-thou Yankee professor type. Bradley Whitford is practically typecast in the role (follow him on Twitter and see for yourself).    … Full Review »
