    Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
    Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
    KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
    Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
    Sydney Brooks I gave this show 10 stars out of 10, because I think it's the best comedy show ever made, out of all, still, up until this moment, in 2013. Please, watch this show. Every episode is funny and fresh, and unpredictable... and the actors are amazing! All of them: Kelly Ripa, who played Faith, Faith Ford, who played Hope, Ted McGinley as Charlie, and the three kids- Nicole Paggi, later Megan Fox, in the role of Sydney, Macey Cruthird as Hailey, and Paulie Littowsky as Justin.The writers, did a great job: the humor is deep, the jokes are subtle, even sophisticated, surprisingly not cheap or vulgar, and sometimes, very true. The characters all have their own personalities, the storyline is great, and realistic, especially in the first two seasons. The third season is, unfortunately, not as funny and true as the first two. Hope and Faith are two Lovable characters, you can't help but understand them and their problems and concerns. Kelly and Faith have a great chemistry together, it almost seems like they are sisters in real life. The jokes and all the humorous situations, work out very well... And this show is not only a light- hearted comedy, it is also a life situation show, that can also teach you and your family, some pretty important things about life, friendship, family: how important is to be noble as a person, how to be happy and stay yourself, even if people around you judge you all the time. Learn to accept the people you love the way they are...some real- life values, like love, respect, generosity... " I'll always be there for you". Not only is this show funny, but it actually also makes you care for the characters and their life, their relationship between each other. So, they will always be there and help each other, in whatever situation, and even when they fight with each other, their friendship is unbreakable. And all the jokes are Trenchant and Fluid, believe me, when you watch Hope and Faith, you just can't stop laughing! So, please don't deprive yourself from this joyful, delightful experience, go and watch "Hope and Faith", the best sitcom ever made!I think this show really deserved a lot more seasons, compared to the cold, crude humored Two and a Half Men, which is on its tenth season now by the way, this show is incomparably better. And another occasion for us to feel mad at ABC...
    hejsamester Writing and acting of this quality belongs inside Pandora's box. The jokes are as bad and clean as on Full House, and the setup for them is so fake it hurts watching. People might like the goofy Kelly Ripa as Faith Fairchild character, but honestly, it hurts to watch middle aged women act like stupid children in order to make them seem funny. Her sister, the responsible one, isn't any better. She exemplifies the type of woman, who've never realized who she is, and never achieved any of her dreams expect the one of a house, a husband and some children. What a sad example of role models.Parring up a stupid and a boring person doesn't really make great comedy - it's just an easy way out for a lot of boring morales without impact and for a bit of lazy attempts at slapstick comedy. All seen before a long time ago.America; you've brought some good comedy to the world, but when you make things like this, you really start lacking behind the European countries. Please don't export more of this, just keep it to yourselves.
    elshikh4 You may say a lot of bad things concerning such a show : traditional, stereotypes, overacting, goofy.. Whatever. Though, strangely it worked and with honors ! I feel big part of its real joy came from the funny 2 leads Faith Ford and Kelly Ripa. True that I don't know how they selected Ripa as number 85 in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2005" ! But the thing that I know too well is that Ripa and Ford both are so cute and vigorous on the screen, having a productive chemistry, looking interestingly idiot or honestly childish, and by their overacting they deliver hilarious performance. The rest of the cast wasn't that good but close. The scripts were surprisingly hitting the mark every time, I've never felt bored, and it managed to be unpredictable, for instance : How Faith is going to survive in the soap opera she had part in ? How Faith will do in the shop that she went to work at ?, and How Faith and Hope may do when they found themselves imprisoned in a supermarket ?, or unit to save Hope's daughter from some evil party ? By the way these episodes were memorable and top notch. It wasn't another sitcom on TV, albeit it seemed so. It was so nice sitcom despite any criticism. And it's a rare time to love a work with what are supposed to be its faults, or maybe love it because those very faults !
    samanthaspade_wat I absolutely love this show! Every episode is hilariously awesome! I think Kelly does an amazing job of being Faith, she is so great to watch, and very funny. Not saying Faith Ford isn't - she's an amazing actress too! One of ABC's finest shows in my opinion. I have to say, Sydney isn't very convincing as a 14 year old though (or whatever she's meant to be). The old Sydney was played by a 25 year old, and it is so obvious, but she doesn't ruin it that much, and she is a great actress, though I prefer the new Sydney. Some of the best, funniest lines I've heard have come from this show, it's the sort of show that if you're feeling down or bored just switch it on and you're instantly smilie again!
