Josh sets up shop in a makeshift office, behind a taxidermy business. Once there, he and his quirky team of local misfits gets to work.
Summer Henderson (Krysta Rodriguez) is Larry’s adopted daughter. She comes to East Peck to support her father throughout his trial.
Former cop Dwayne Reed (Steven Boyer), is the defense team’s lead investigator. Rounding out the group are Carol Anne Keane (Jayma Mays) and Anne Flatch (Sherri Shepherd).

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 think this show is refreshingly different. It is clever and funny. I love that is mocks all those things found in reality shows. I watched it first and then got the whole family hooked. Thanks for bringing us together on something we all could enjoy. I look forward to season 2.
Great show. Please renew
Great show, very funny. Please renew
Bring Trial and Error back Great Show! Very funny.
Keep it! OMG! The absolute best court mockumentary ( scratch that…ANY mockumentary) EVER! The writing is spot on and so clever, and the acting is brilliant!
love it. will watch every ep of season 2
One of the best comedy shows, I watched it last night instead of the Big Bank Theory. Please continue it.
We love it! Keep the episodes coming please!
Great, Fun Show… Keep it coming
One of the best comedy shows to come on in a long time! When I saw the preview commercials, I figured it was going to be a dud. After watching the first episode (thank goodness), I’ve been hooked and even watch the previous episodes, laughing my head off. This one is a keeper.
This is a fantastic, quirky show – I really can’t understand the objections below. Sure hope the network will give it a chance to settle in. Probably my favorite right now
This is the funniest show that I have seen in years! Loved it, and, am looking forward to the upcoming episodes!! After reading some of the comments below, I’d suggest that if you wear your feelings on your shoulders, turn the channel. It wasn’t poking fun, as some people imply, it is just hilarious!! Well done!!!
Wow, one of the worst shows I’ve seen in a long time. Without Lithgow, this could not have possibly gotten on air. Still, so bad that I quit watching 2/3 way through pilot and then deleted it and 2nd episode from dvr. Never have done that before.
This should be one of those shows that gets cancelled before the 3rd episode. But, of course, with Lithgow it won’t.
The pilot poked fun at people with disabilities, small-town people, Jewish people, black women and gay men. NOT funny! The writers also thought making a joke out of a dog being dragged by a car would be funny. It was NOT!!
LOVED it !!! Refreshingly funny. Hope it lasts.
