Simply A Masterpiece

Beautiful, moving film.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

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.

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.

I had a great time watching 1600. My husband and I laughed so hard at Skip and the whole First family. Well written and executed. I don't shake hands either I give Huggs😃. I am suggesting this show to all of my friends as a Must Watch..... Its great to laugh at their issues and watch the way the handle life's ups and downs. I feel like the casting is great! The first show is probably the funniest. all of the shows are filled with life lessons and hearty laughter. Skip is always doing such funny things in the background. I wish I knew more about how the President and the First Lady got to be together. There are two younger kids that are kinda strange. The sister is a good balance for Skip.Thank you!!!

Get rid of the "Skip" character. Replace him with someone more talented. The rest of the cast is talented. Let them do their jobs. The "Skip" character is so obnoxious, it takes away from any potential this show has. It also takes away from the very capable actors. The focus should be Pullman and Elfman. A president with a trophy wife trying to raise the step kids in the public eye would be enough to carry this show especially with the talent of Pullman and Elfman. The relationship between the step mom and the older daughter would also be an excellent focal point. The relationship between the family and the Presidents assistant could also be a focus. The assistant to the president is played by an excellent actor. He is very talented and entertaining to watch.
