Despite a short first season with less-than-impressive ratings, ABC renewed the Bless This Mess TV show for a second season. The network execs are no doubt hoping that the numbers will improve this time around. Will Bless This Mess be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC single-camera comedy, Bless This Mess stars Lake Bell, Dax Shepard, Ed Begley Jr., Pam Grier, JT Neal, David Koechner, and Madison Curry. In the series, young newlyweds Mike and Rio Levine-Young (Shepard and Bell) give up their lives in New York City to run a farm in Nebraska that Mike’s great-aunt left to him. Once in cornhusker country, it doesn’t take them too long to figure out that living a simple life requires a lot of hard work.

My husband and I love this show. They play off each other wonderfully. Please please leave it on the air. You leave all these reality tv shows on, sports, and police dramas. Please leave the 1/2 comedies on to. Us older folks deserve some tv shows too.
Great show. No laugh track makes it better. My wife likes it too keep it up
Although it’s been on for a season and a half, I just “discovered” this show two weeks ago. I love it. Reminds me of the shows Northern Exposure and Ed. Very thoughtful and clever writing, & interesting storylines. I sure hope that this show will continue beyond this season. So nice to watch a comedy with a human touch.
Yes, yes and yes. I absolutely adore this show. I love every character. Ed Begley at his finest. Pam Grier, awesome and beautiful. Dax Shephard and Lake Bell are awesome together. And Lennon Parham is absolutely an insane and crazy smart character. I can’t find a single character that i don’t like. Please keep this show going
Bless this Mess is Funny , Quirky , Creative and isn’t a canned boring laugh track sit com.
I love Bless this mess! Please renew it! In these times we are in, it’s great to laugh out loud at a show!!
‘‘Tis is one of the most fun and unbelievable enjoyable shows !!! The writers are wild and fun!! I look soooo forward to the program! Please all the actors are special very unique and FUN… again the writers are truly creative!!!❤️❤️
First, Ed Begley Jr is funny! He pulls off the quirky/dead pan thing great. I like the concept of the show (living simple -escaping the city) and I like most of the cast.
Sometimes to be honest, it’s kinda stupid (S2,E11- Ed Begley is funny, the other part of the episode not so much). And….sometimes it’s funny/sweet/entertaining (S2,E9).
I’m glad it’s been renewed to see if it can “get stronger” and pull in more peeps.
Also, happy I can stream…
Love bless this mess. So funny and refreshing
Great potential …!! Love the Rudy and Constance relationship ! Halloween episode was hilarious !! Renew this Show for sure !
I have loved this show from episode 1 and it has just gotten better! They’re all good but “459” and “Six Out of Six” are just the best. I challenge anyone to watch these episodes and not LOL. Please renew this unique and amazingly funny show. 🙂
When the show first started, we weren’t all that impressed but we kept watching because we like Dax Shepard. We now LOVE the show! It’s gotten a lot better this second season. I literally laugh out loud while watching it. I’m talking full belly laugh. It is so funny. The writing is superb, the actors are fantastic, please renew this show!!
Please renew! Best show I have seen in a long time! Its wholesome , makes me laugh and shows and renews the strength in hardworking families and true love as it should be shown! I want more!
A superb show! Keep in mind, a lot af people download the show which doesn’t happen to show in your ratings. Checks downloads somehow to see how many people are watching.
It’s a wonderfully hilarious show that stands out from the rest because it’s not dark and depressing. I want to laugh again, a lot! There are so few shows that do that now!
renew renew renew!
