What do you think? Do you like the Trial & Error TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I loved this show. So different from any other comedy. Quirky characters who are likeable and very, very funny. So well written!
Netflix, please pick this up. It was a really good show.
It was the best TV show on NBC-Netflix should take over the series.
This would be such a shame to cancel this show. Finally something that is absolutely hilarious and brilliant on TV. And I live in SC!
Love, love, love the show!! Hilariously funny. Simple fun. Sure hope it’s renewed for a third season.
One of the funniest shows out there. Please renew!!!
Please renew! This show is the funniest thing on tv.
Love! Love! Love this show! Laugh out loud funny!! I look forward to this show every week! Please don’t even think of canceling this show! Great comic relief!!
My husband and I love watching Trial and Error. It’s the only show we wait for all week… We tell everyone to watch it. So much better than all the depressing violence all over TV. Nowadays, more than ever, we need something funny and light-hearted to enjoy! We loved John Lithgow, and thought Kristen Chenoweth was amazing… The regular characters are sooooooo funny. Hard to believe NBC is considering cancelling!!!
One of the funniest shows on TV. I hope they don’t cancel this show, finally something very funny instead of all the depressing dramas which along with the over saturation of stupid reality TV is the reason I as well as others I know don’t watch the major networks anymore
I love this show. Fun & relaxing to watch. Please do not cancel
I love this show. It is so different from all other shows. Fun & relaxing to watch.
