Clevercell Very disappointing...

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Deksy Dex I watched the first episode of 1600 Pen after reading the other reviews on here, I noticed there was more bad than good and two of the better reviews compared it to such shows as Cougar Town, Modern Family and Everybody Loves Raymond... none of which I found to have been enjoyable to watch. I would rate this show higher than any of them.I can see where most people are coming from about the Skip character, I feel he is a typecast typical fat American bozo. I think if they cast a more charismatic, healthier looking male such as his close friend Seth Gabel(something like his part in DSM) to play Skip it would have suited the part a little better. Jenna Elfman is great I always find her characters likable. Xander came off as more of an angsty teenager than a child genius with his lines(Which I presume is what they were aiming at). Rebecca is also a likable character and talented actress. Bill Pullman seems a little too blasé for a president. For someone who rarely has time to talk to his children and takes his job seriously, when they mess up it doesn't seem to phase him that much. Marigold seems okay from this episode apart from the ridiculous name, some people say the kids are annoying. Aren't kids supposed to be annoying?The show is watchable it's not terrible, but it's not amazing. If you're looking for something that pulls you in and gets you addicted this is probably not what you are looking for. It seems a bit too choppy, but there is still some comedic value in it. It's something to watch if you're not in the mood for anything serious or with a plot you have to follow religiously.

Alexis Walker This was just terrible. I'm not just talking about the pilot. I'm talking about ALL the episodes that have aired.It is almost as if someone wanted to create a very unfunny show to make people cringe. Well good job. You did it.I wanted to like this. I really did. The characters are undeveloped. The kids are annoying (don't know why they even have the Marigold character) and the writing it the worst I have ever seen.I normally like Pullman and Gad, but the material they are working with does not allow them to be nearly as funny as they should be.Cancel.

Jeff Albertson I have now watched all 4 episodes and I am all in! This has comedy that you have to pay attention to or it might go over your head. Its a family like any other family but the father just happens to be the President. The oldest son "Skip" steals the show most of the time. To think that the first family could have all these family problems is great. Everyone thinks that the first family has to be perfect. This family is far from perfect, and that goes for the father as well. Every once in a while a great comedy is born: "Arrested Development","Modern Family" and even "The Middle". These shows have real comedy! There are so many comedies on now that have the laugh tracks, and are so predictable, this show is not predictable and that is what makes a great comedy. If NBC gives it a chance, and some time, I think this can and will be a hit.

Sam Jacobs It's a very lighthearted show so definitely go into it with an open mind. I don't understand why people keep bashing it in these reviews. It's like they're expecting The West Wing with humor, which it isn't.The cast is fantastic. The series is tied together with a bunch of random circumstances that you'd never expect to happen to the President's family. Bill Pullman initially plays a serious guy, but his character opens up in the following episodes. Jenna Elfman is gorgeous and funny. The character fits her perfectly. The daughter, Martha MacIsaac, is also pretty good. Her situation is funnier than her character though.The cast is glued together by Skip (Josh Gad) who plays the 20-something son of the President. He is exactly the opposite of what you'd expect in a presidential family, and it's incredible. He's goofy but sincere and lovable. I haven't been able to parallel him to any character from other shows, but that's a good thing.Overall I'd definitely recommend it if you're into loose comedy. As long as you don't expect serious White House drama, you'll enjoy it!
