It wasn’t a particularly impressive start for 1600 Penn, especially since its lead-in, The Voice, drew a 4.2 demo rating with 13.4 million viewers. Many critics have noted that the later episodes are much better than the first. It remains to be seen if viewers will give the show that much time.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

1600 Penn is really stupid, and not too much gets me laughing. It’s too bad. I really like Bill Pullman and Jenna Elfman.
This screams of cancellation. It’s very twee, it’s not edgy or witty enough and would need a serious overhaul to get me to keep watching.
I will died if the cancel it best show of all time love it more then I love Romney such a little
Saw the first two episodes and thought it was hilarious. Definitely a keeper. Six seasons and a movie!
Started off poorly, but episode 2 showed some potential. Hope they give it a few more episodes.
Dull, boring, not funny at all. And, disappointing…hard to believe the network would air such low class nonsense. What were the thinking?
the show would be better with jenna elfman doing more funny stuff she’s witty,beautiful. The youngs gay part is off key,don’t push it,not funny
More pathetic than the real administration. And that’s hard to do.
More “Must Avoid TV”.
All the charm of an eviscerated corpse. But wait…
There’s more.
Did I miss something. I thought it was funny. Not great but I did laugh. It will depend on what opposite when back on too.
Bill Pullman and Jenna Elfman should takeover the writing and directing (reversed) and then maybe, JUST MAYBE, they’d have a hit.
Like someone said, she’s extremely funny. Pullman can act his way through anything. Together they might have a shot.
And finally, knock it off with the 10 yr old girl being gay out of the blue. We don’t need that kind of garbage in a feel-good sitcom.
Wow, this show is bad. The kids are horrible…the son is the worst! They make Bill Pullman (the great President from Independence Day a joke) and Jenna Elfman, extremely funny, lame. Maybe I will give it a few more chances just because of those two…but if they are going to stay background characters to the idiot son(and other kids), it has no chance at all.
Cancel – Cancel – Cancel
1600 Penn – Absolutely terrible!!!!!!
I anticipate a large drop for the second episode followed, hopefully, by cancellation.
