Mildly amusing, nonviolent, and inoffensive. File under goofs: I'm mostly amused about them driving a 2nd generation battery powered Nissan Leaf to Nebraska. With a trailer it probably couldn't go 50 miles. I like mine, but I have a 15 mile commute.

Look, pilots are rough. there's a lot of potential here and room for growth in the characters!

Green Acres meets The Money Pit? Off to a bumpy start, but I still want to see were it's going. I am hoping that the characters develop and the plot becomes apparent.

I had extremely low expectations for this show and watched it for lack of anything better. I was pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed the pilot and will be watching the next episode. I found it to be laugh-out-loud funny, with a level of sweetness and innocence not often seen in sitcoms nowadays. It's a breath of fresh air!

This was so inane and unfunny! Completely moronic! Bet they have never even been to the Midwest let alone a farm! No one in Nebraska says ya'll that is down south! They were coming from New York but show them entering Nebraska from the West! Not to many Milk Cows running around except for Dairies! And the neighbors want to expand their ranch by putting up a slaughterhouse?????????? The sheriff is a woman with five jobs?????? Might have been a cute show if they had a writer that has been outside of California and knew something outside of a city! It was to stupid to even be funny! Geez!

This show has gotten better and better. The pilot was actually the weakest episode. The characters are so funny and endearing, great screen chemistry, funny/smart dialogue, quirky and memorable! I don't watch a lot of comedies, and I am so grateful to have this one in my life. It always makes me feel better after a crappy day.

Because of my work I have to dvr shows. I have tried 3 different times to watch this. I think it got worse each time. I never made it to the end. It is the worst thing I've seen in a while. Even though they seem to be trying to remake Green Acres, they missed completely. This is one show I will not watch again. Instead of a blessing maybe they should just give a eulogy and bury it.

Time calls it "A promising sit-com" and it may just be the first successful mid-season replacement of Spring 2019. Almost like "Green Acres," the wife gives up her NYC City Life to move to her husband's farm. It's in Nebraska. Many quirky neighbors. The only black cast member is the sheriff and general store owner, Connie (Pam Grier). Ed Begley Jr. plays their house-guest who lives in their barn with his two "pets", a screaming goat and a chicken he named after his ex-wife. Instead of Mr. Haney, their obnoxious neighbors want to buy the old farmhouse and land to turn it into a slaughter house. In the pilot, the old "gags" from the old 1930's movie "George Washington Slept Here" are used, as the floor and the roof both cave in. By the 3rd episode, everything happens to the Shepard's, including chickens that turn into "pets" so they can't kill them for personal use and the market. Extreme "friskiness" in the Bowman's barn, which gets the prize bull all riled up so he mates with all the cows. To compensate for this, they have to give their ancient tractor away. As we end episode 3, they just realize that eggs can be a source of income! Nice and cute (and I mean that in a good way). The major crime in town is a suspected theft of Rudy's red licorice! Only 7 episodes were made, and already renewed for season 2! The "burning" questions are this 1. What do you do with 400 eggs without refrigeration or pasteurization? plus a huge "gaggle" of "pet" chickens? 2. Is it a wonder they couldn't sell any eggs at the farmer's market? I would expect most of the townspeople "grow" their own eggs. and how can you sell eggs next to the the "Porta-Johns"?

Easter Egg: Rio takes a bath "a la Petticoat Junction" in an outdoor wooden tub? All too much fun!

Maybe if the actually researched what its like to live in Nebraska.. and maybe filmed here... then maybe... MAYBE.. it would stand a chance..

Its Green Acres expect this show to not at all funny. What a waste of my time.
