A fish-out-of-water sitcom, Bless This Mess stars Lake Bell, Dax Shepard, Ed Begley Jr., Pam Grier, David Koechner, JT Neal, and Madison Curry. The single-camera comedy centers on newlyweds Mike and Rio (Shepard and Bell), after they decide to forsake the hustle and bustle of New York City for a more pastoral life in Nebraska. Once the couple arrives in cornhusker country, it doesn’t take them too long to figure out that living a simple life requires a lot of hard work. Bell co-created the series with Elizabeth Meriwether.
Airing on Tuesday nights, the first season of Bless This Mess is averaging a 0.73 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.82 million viewers.
Out of the 21 scripted ABC TV shows of the 2018-19 season, Bless This Mess is in 13th place in the demo and 12th in viewership.
What do you think? Do you enjoy the Bless This Mess TV show? Should it have been cancelled instead of renewed for a second season?
Yes, please renew! It took us an episode to get hooked but the comedy is solid and the situation is unique – not so much the fish-out-of-water theme, which is well-played, but the farm setting makes for a new take. The characters are clever – love the Ed Begley Jr. character, and the neighbor couple and their son are a dynamic counter-play to Dax Shepard and Lake Bell. Keep it going!
I love this show and am talking it up at work. It’s a real charmer and reminds me of/shares some of the same DNA as one of my all-time favorite shows, Nothern Exposure. The cast and their chemistry is marvelous! More please!

I generally don’t watch sitcom’s because I don’t find them funny or interesting, but Bless This Mess is hilarious and I actually laugh out loud while watching. I’m so happy it’s been renewed and I was telling friends today at lunch, who had never seen it, to check it out.
