Review of "Bless
the Harts"

This is a terrible show. I love "Family Guy," and I used to like "American
Dad," "King of the Hill" and "The Simpsons." This show is nothing like any of
them. It's not even as funny as "The Cleveland Show."
The show focuses on a poor white southern family. The main character is Jenny
((Kristen Wiig, "Saturday Night Live"). She has an annoying mother, Betty (Maya
Rudolph, "Saturday Night Live"); an angsty teen daughter, Violet (Jillian Bell)
and a dopey boyfriend, Wayne (Ike Barinholtz, "The Mindy Project").
I just didn't find it funny at all, and the characters are annoying. Emily
Spivey, who wrote for "Last Man on Earth" (another very unfunny show), created
this one. I would skip it if I were you.

MORE INFORMATION:
Created and
executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Emily Spivey (“The
Last Man on Earth,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Saturday Night
Live”) and featuring a voice cast of comedy all-stars,
including Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jillian Bell and Ike
Barinholtz, BLESS THE HARTS is a new half-hour animated
comedy that follows the Harts, a Southern family that is
always broke, and forever struggling to make ends meet. They
one day hope to achieve the American dream, but they’re
already rich – in friends, family and laughter.
JENNY HART
(Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Kristen Wiig,
“Bridesmaids,” “Saturday Night Live”) is a single mother
supporting her family working as a waitress in the small
town of Greenpoint, NC. While Jenny’s the head of her
family, she’s often at odds with, or scheming with, her
lottery scratcher-obsessed mother, BETTY (Emmy Award and
Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Maya Rudolph, “The Good
Place,” “Bridesmaids”), and her witty, creative daughter,
VIOLET (Emmy Award nominee Jillian Bell, “Workaholics,”
“Fist Fight”). Jenny’s doting, eternal optimist boyfriend of
10 years, WAYNE EDWARDS (Ike Barinholtz, “Neighbors,”
“Blockers”), is the love of her life and a surrogate father
to Violet. He’s a charming dreamer who may never hit the big
time, but he’s not going to give up the fight. Jenny’s even
got a bit of divine power in her corner, as JESUS (Academy
Award nominee Kumail Nanjiani, “The Big Sick,” “Silicon
Valley”) regularly appears to her while she waits tables at
neighborhood restaurant The Last Supper. In the end, the
Harts may not have much, but they may just have everything
they need.
BLESS THE
HARTS is a co-production of FOX Entertainment and 20th
Century Fox Television. Animation is produced by Titmouse.
Emily Spivey created the series and wrote the pilot. The
series is executive-produced by Spivey, Academy Award winner
and Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee Phil Lord (“The Last
Man on Earth,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “The
LEGO Movie”), Academy Award winner, Emmy Award and Golden
Globe nominee Christopher Miller (“The Last Man on Earth,”
“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “The LEGO Movie”),
Kristen Wiig, Seth Cohen (“The Last Man on Earth,” “Drunk
History”) and Andy Bobrow are executive producers. Spivey
and Bobrow serve together as showrunners.
