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.

I really tried to like this show, but it keeps getting worse. Skip is a side character at best, he is not original and is trying too hard to be funny and as a result is failing. Please put this show out of its misery quietly before the Execs at NBC start getting fired publicly.
I LOVE 1600 PENN!!! The characters are hilarious! This is not a plot-driven show — it’s all about the characters. I first watched because I love Bill Pullman and Jenna Elfman, but then I fell in love with Skip. And then I realized how marvelous Becca is. I love the performances!
Wow. What a terrible terrible waste of time and energy.
The writing, the acting just horrible.
The critics and viewers really seem to rip on Skip a lot, and yes, his character is annoying as heck, but I know he has talent. This show is not a good vehicle for the actors who have talent. I would say most of the cast have talent, with the exception of Marigold. This girl has all the personality and acting talent of a piece of wood.
Knowing that Skip is actually a creator of the show gave me a whole new appreciation.
