I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Beautiful, moving film.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I loved this show. It got buried during the dog days of summer but Entertainment Weekly raved about it. So I tried it out and was hooked. Funny, smart and also sweet. The lead Father was sexy and terrific. How can a smart satire on early America not last but Jim Belushi stays on season after season? Grrrr. Why doesn't CBS show THANKS every Thanksgiving? I bet tons of people would watch it.We were going through an old VCR tape and I came across the tobacco episode. I showed it to some friends and they were howling. That's what made me think of it recently and I wanted to look up the name of the lead actor. Glad to see there are others who appreciate smart comedy. God Bless THANKS!

A friend of mine tapes EVERYTHING and one night he told me Cloris Leachman had been in this weird funny twisted sitcom about Early America and he looked through his video collection and showed me the first three episodes. I cant believe this show isn't more well known - it was soooo funny and Leachman is great in it (as is the rest of the cast). The satire and dark humor reminded me of The Simpsons and the show where the whole town of Plymouth gets hooked on tobacco was laugh out loud funny. I guess it was on CBS one summer but man, this thing should have been given a chance. Now I'm determined to track down the last three! CBS - DVD release??

I am an 8th grader and in my social studies we were studying the early english in america. My social studies teacher being the movie/tv nut he is, showed us the pilot episode. It was hilarious. It's such a shame it got cancelled.

I agree with the first comment, this was a wonderful show, a breath of fresh air when sitcoms are full of tired "Friends" rip-offs. Thanks was witty and cleverly written. The episode where tobacco was introduced to Plymouth Colony was so funny with great satirical bits about the modern tobacco industry. My housemates and I loved every episode and we hope CBS will order more. bring back the dysfunctional Pilgrims!
