What do you think? Do you like the Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love it!!!! Amazing family variety show. Haven’t been a show like this for many many years. Please Renew!
I love this show!!! I think it was a great show for all ages & very entertaining too! It was a breath of fresh air after all the stupid reality shows they have on!!!
Renew the show. I love the show. My adult daughter and Granddaughter loves to watch the show. It is a nice clean show that my 8 year old Granddaughter can watch and enjoy every week. She is a Big fan of Neil Patric Harris as am I. The cast is great and it is not boring as most of the other shows (reality shows) on television now days. Thank you for the entertainment NPH. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Renew it! It’s one of the few shows I cuz watch with my whole family (ages 46, 15, 13, 11, 7, 5). Love it!
My husband and I love this show. Very different from everything else currently on TV. Lots of fun. Neil Patrick Harris is an amazing entertainer–very talented. I hope they bring this show back. We looked forward to watching it.
I love The Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris. It almost reminds me of an old time variety TV show. Lots of surprises and guest starts. I hope it will be back.
NPH can do -everything- and I think that’s great but he is kinda stiff and alot of his jokes fall flat. I think they need to make him more easy going and get better writing -if- they keep the show on the air.
Most definitely renewed for another season, it has been a breath of fresh air instead of negative crime shows and obscene reality shows. It was fun and very enjoyable.
I love Neil Patrick Harris and The Best Time Ever. I really hope they don’t cancel this show. I smile from beginning to end!
Love the show. Creative and always changing. Love how he surprises audience members with indepth situations. Great job each week!
Horrible show. Chaotic, loud and completely stupid
LOVE it! However, please bring it back to its original air time as it is a great family oriented program. It is such a high energy show, NPH (Nei Patrick Harris) does an awesome job!
Love this show I hope they keep, we watch it as a family and enjoy. Look forward to it each week
It’s a throwback to the old sixties game shows I love it and he’s got the balls to do backflips off of pogo stick I’ll keep watching
Just watched this show! I am a 60 year old woman and I have not enjoyed a TV show this much in many years! It was fun and funny! I love the way in incorporates comedy, talent, stunts(that NPH actually did himself) guests and contest! Thank you!
