The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The incredibly stupid, obnoxious son of the President is Skip. Skip is a thoroughly unlikeable character who completely spoils a show that MIGHT otherwise have some comedic potential.It's a small wonder that NBC is running low in the ratings with dreck like this. Whoever green lights crap like this at the network needs to be fired NOW. The tone of this show is along the lines of another NBC bomb called WHITNEY and a tasteless CBS entry titled 2 BROKE GIRLS.NBC was once a broadcast pioneer with an incredible pool of talent and a great staff of journalists. Somewhere along the way, the network lost its way and turned into the uber-liberal cesspool it is today.

I have now watched all 4 episodes and I am all in! This has comedy that you have to pay attention to or it might go over your head. Its a family like any other family but the father just happens to be the President. The oldest son "Skip" steals the show most of the time. To think that the first family could have all these family problems is great. Everyone thinks that the first family has to be perfect. This family is far from perfect, and that goes for the father as well. Every once in a while a great comedy is born: "Arrested Development","Modern Family" and even "The Middle". These shows have real comedy! There are so many comedies on now that have the laugh tracks, and are so predictable, this show is not predictable and that is what makes a great comedy. If NBC gives it a chance, and some time, I think this can and will be a hit.

I had a great time watching 1600. My husband and I laughed so hard at Skip and the whole First family. Well written and executed. I don't shake hands either I give Huggs😃. I am suggesting this show to all of my friends as a Must Watch..... Its great to laugh at their issues and watch the way the handle life's ups and downs. I feel like the casting is great! The first show is probably the funniest. all of the shows are filled with life lessons and hearty laughter. Skip is always doing such funny things in the background. I wish I knew more about how the President and the First Lady got to be together. There are two younger kids that are kinda strange. The sister is a good balance for Skip.Thank you!!!

It's a very lighthearted show so definitely go into it with an open mind. I don't understand why people keep bashing it in these reviews. It's like they're expecting The West Wing with humor, which it isn't.The cast is fantastic. The series is tied together with a bunch of random circumstances that you'd never expect to happen to the President's family. Bill Pullman initially plays a serious guy, but his character opens up in the following episodes. Jenna Elfman is gorgeous and funny. The character fits her perfectly. The daughter, Martha MacIsaac, is also pretty good. Her situation is funnier than her character though.The cast is glued together by Skip (Josh Gad) who plays the 20-something son of the President. He is exactly the opposite of what you'd expect in a presidential family, and it's incredible. He's goofy but sincere and lovable. I haven't been able to parallel him to any character from other shows, but that's a good thing.Overall I'd definitely recommend it if you're into loose comedy. As long as you don't expect serious White House drama, you'll enjoy it!
