What’s This TV Show About?
A sitcom airing on the NBC television network, the first season of Trial & Error stars Nicholas D’Agosto, John Lithgow, Krysta Rodriguez, Steven Boyer, Jayma Mays, and Sherri Shepherd. The story centers on new lawyer Josh Segal (D’Agosto). To tackle his first case, this New Yorker sets out for the tiny Southern town of East Peck. There, he must defend eccentric, “rollercizing” poetry professor, Larry Henderson (John Lithgow), who is charged with murdering his wife. The defense team includes a bunch of quirky locals: Larry’s daughter Summer Henderson (Rodriguez) and former cop and lead investigator Dwayne Reed (Boyer), as well as Carol Anne Keane (Mays) and Anne Flatch (Shepherd).

Telly’s Take
NBC has had mixed results with its freshman comedies during the 2016-17 television season. Although a cancellation seems likely for Powerless, The Good Place did well enough to earn a second season. Which path will Trial & Error ultimately follow? It premiered to mediocre ratings and the numbers have been falling lower and lower. I suspect it will be cancelled, but the decision will ultimately come down to money. Subscribe for free updates on Trial & Error cancellation or renewal news.

BEST SHOW EVER!!!! As long as they add John Lithgow to the team of investigators!!! I’ve never laughed so hard at any other show!
Love this show!!!! Reminds me of The Office and Parks and Recreation!!! Please renew!!!
I absolutely love this show! It’s the best cast ever! Especially Nick, Sherri & John are hilariously funny! Please renew this show for several seasons!
Love This Show, even more so since reading it is based on a true crime case of Michael Peterson.
So funny, love sherry and john…
Waiting for season 2
Brilliant acting and constant punchlines! John lithgow and sherri shepard are stellar! Bring it back!
Loved this show. A clever bit of fun. I would definitely watch a second season.
I absolutely love this show. It makes me laugh out loud every show. Just hilarious. Can’t wait for next season!!!
We LOVE it!! It’s hilarious!
Hilarious. It even took me a few episodes but then I realized its smart and quirky and easily one of the funniest shows NBC has had since The Office.
Absolutely bring it back. Very funny, well-written, quirky characters. One of the funniest shows on tv.
A little concerned NBC may not pick this one up for a second season. This is the sort of show that could get its legs once it made its way to Netflix. If you’re interested in seeing a second season, maybe search for ‘Netflix title request’ and suggest they acquire Trial and Error; it takes 30 seconds and may help get a second season.
Trial & Error is the funniest show currently on network TV! Parks & Rec and The Office both took a little while to get a strong following. Trial & Error could be a huge hit for NBC if they give it the chance!
Brilliantly funny.BRING IT BACK
I absolutely love Trial an Error. It is different from any other show on TV. I laugh at every episode. The characters are quirky and I love every one of them. I hope they renew for a second season.
Trial and error is a breath of fresh air. We need funny shows on tv. We have to many cop and med shows.. renew it.
