OMG!!! This show is so much fun.

I’m so looking forward to this show’s return! It went on such a long hiatus. It’s about time we have a date for season 2. Every episode was hilarious! I think «Trial & Error» definitely deserves a second season. I’m especially happy to hear Chenoweth is joining the cast! She’s just great! She’ll bring a whole new dynamic I think.

I watched the whole first season in one day because I was so hooked. The best part is I wasn’t expecting to like it. I thought it’d be stupid and cheesy. Boy was I surprised! I was sooo very wrong because it’s such a fun and smart comedy. It reminds me of «The Office» and of «Parks and Recreation.» I so love these mockumentary style shows. With mentioning these, I do want to say that «Trial & Error» is different from these two in that it’s a lot more about the people and their quirks than it is about a workplace.

Another thing that sets this show apart is the many plot twists and shocking moments, which to me feels very innovative; this is not just a sitcom, it’s a serialized comedy.

Another unique factor is that there are some touches of dark comedy and absurdist humor that really give this show its own identity, which I absolutely adore.

So brilliantly cast because the cast does a very good job at delivering funny and heartfelt performances. I genuinely laughed a lot. I mean, Jayma Mays may be the weakest link and that is saying A LOT to me because she’s great!

There’s more than enough potential for this show to go on. Considering the executive producer wishes to make 7 seasons of this show, and I’m totally up for watching them all if they stay this much fun, remain this witty, and uphold this quality.

Oh, and, just for the record: Anne is my favorite! She freakin’ rocks. I lose it every time she’s on the screen. Ugh. Just love her!

If you haven’t been watching this show you’re totally missing out on something so funny, smart, and refreshing. You’ll find yourself laughing so hard you cry. It’s absolutely worth a watch, so what are you waiting for? :o)

I give «Trial & Error» an 8.1/10.

I am writing the review long after the show was cancelled.

Just want to say I really love the show, it is funny, witty, with fast pace and some unexpected, hilarious twists. The main and supporting actors all delivered stellar performance living up to their characters.

It’s a shame that a good show like this got cancelled way too early, while plenty mediocre ones live on.

Like a lot of people, I’m a big fan of John Lithgow, who is a very versatile actor. He’s one of a select bunch who are adept at serious drama and broad humor, as seen in his turn on «Third Rock from the Sun» and his hosting SNL.

This show isn’t pretentious about the humor. It’s broad and fast-paced in most episodes. If you don’t like one joke, wait thirty seconds or so and we’ve got another one for you. The writers make use of a lot of devices to get the humor across, including some quick-hitting sight gags you need to watch for or you’ll miss them. (As an example, check out the slogan for the health club in one of the episodes as the trial begins.)

Jayma Mays is a bundle of sexual tension in her role as the ambitious DA and is nearly as funny as Lithgow’s character. Sherri Shepherd is great in a sometimes too small part. Overall, the cast is wonderful and seems to be having a lot of fun with the show.

I will say that I don’t know if this is a show that has a lot of staying power, though, because it’s hard to see where it can go after this first season. Still, it’s a very funny half-hour that really is a lot different from most of what’s on right now. The only show that takes the same approach to fast-paced, packed with jokes is «Angie Tribeca.» It works for them and it works well for this show.

With the popularity of true crime shows like ‘Making of a Murderer’ and ‘The Jinx’, you knew it wouldn’t be long before a show came along to spoof them…and this is definitely it!

Starring John Lithgow (The Crown) as Larry Henderson, a roller-skating obsessed poetry professor who has been accused of killing his wife by throwing her through a plate-glass window. Unfortunately for Larry, this is also how his first wife died. Hired for his legal defense is ‘northeasterner’ Josh Segal (Nick D’Agostino), who is assisted by bumbling ex-cop Dwayne Reed (Steven Boyer) and completely ineffective secretary Anne Flatch (Sherry Shepard).

Viewers of the show «Parks and Recreation» might find this show quite similar to that one. Although there were funny lines from all the characters, is was definitely Lithgow who carried the show with his incredible comedic timing and dead-pan expressions. Although the first couple of episodes may have been a little too similar to other ‘documentary style’ sit-coms, ‘Trial and Error’ has one important thing that those other shows did not…Lithgow. And for that reason alone, this show might just make it!

If you love slapstick characters, fast paced smart writing with endless humor, surprising emotional twists with a murder mystery still being the focus point of this show for the season as a who done it, then Trial & Error is for you.

This show is so ridiculous & is only going to get better & better as the season progresses, think of it as if Law & Order had a love child with Parks & Rec.

It’s East Peck, South Carolina. A documentary film crew follows inexperienced New York lawyer Josh Segal (Nicholas D’Agosto) defending Larry Henderson (John Lithgow) accused of killing his wife Margaret. Dwayne Reed (Steven Boyer) is his idiotic investigator and former cop. Anne Flatch (Sherri Shepherd) is the assistant suffering from many different ailments. Summer Henderson (Krysta Rodriguez) is Larry’s adopted daughter. Carol Anne Keane (Jayma Mays) is the assistant district attorney. The second season has Josh moving permanently to East Peck and town founding family member Lavinia Peck-Foster (Kristin Chenoweth) as his new client.

This is a quirky faux-doc legal comedy of quirky characters. It’s The Office except much sillier. It’s generally fun with a light murder trial or two. Astrof and Miller seem well versed in writing and producing TV comedies. The show started out well but continuing decline in viewership meant it only had two short seasons. I would have liked to have one or two more seasons.

Larry Henderson is accused of his wife’s murder. Her death was caused by crashing through a window. He claims he loved her dearly. A young New York lawyer (Nicholas D’Agosta as Josh Segal) is sent down to handle the preliminaries in Larry’s trial. His two assistants—chosen from local talent—are dedicated to the cause, but fairly useless.

The conceit of this comedy is that the viewer is watching documentary footage. This allows the actors to break the fourth wall. Other comic underpinnings are the fish out of water nature of Josh coping with Southern customs and prejudices, the dumb redneck, the secretary who suffers from a plethora of psychological syndromes, and the wackiness of Larry (John Lithgow).

Jayma Mays plays the prosecuting attorney with political aspirations. As a whole, the cast is strong. I found the writing to be funny, but I wonder if it can remain funny by repeatedly mining the same tropes. In the first two episodes, the writers have shown a certain fearlessness. Given the level of absurdity in the show’s premises, there is plenty of room for unpredictable twists. And this is a show ripe for juicy guest starring roles.

Although this is no «My Cousin Vinny», it has promise. And I have laughed out loud enough to make me very interested.

After just watching the pilot episode and a second episode we understand that the premise of this series is that a slightly quirky Larry Henderson (John Lithgow) does not seem to be too worried that he is the prime suspect after his wife was apparently murdered and he seems to be more upset that the cable guy is late for his appointment.

So Larry Henderson is being represented by a crack pot team consisting of junior lawyer Josh Segal (Nicholas D’Agosto) who is referred to as a good lawyer because he is a north easterner (another name for someone with a heritage that rhymes with «new»). Josh is picked up at the airport by the lead investigator Dwayne Reed (Steven Boyer) who happens to be an inept former cop who was fired after shooting at his own empty police cruiser after watching it roll away in neutral which was his fault in the first place. Now this dynamic du(d)o is supported by an administrative assistant named Anne Flatch (Sherri Shepherd) who has an endless supply of ridiculous illnesses such as she cannot recognize any face five seconds after she has seen it, she laughs uncontrollably even when there is bad news being relayed, and she faints when she sees a pretty picture. I assume the writers thought that we would find Anne’s idiosyncrasies funny but I barely grimaced, let alone chuckle.

Jayma Mays whose last starring TV role was in the 2009 series Glee plays assistant District Attorney Carol Anne Keane who would like nothing more to than win this murder conviction and see Larry Henderson receive a lethal dose of poison, which she states is the most humane way of ridding the world of Larry who is accused of murdering his wife, who surprisingly happened to die in a similar manner as John’s first wife. Oh and as for John’s reason for killing his second wife it is claimed he likes to lock lips with his male personal trainer.

In summary Trial and Error is a cross between the 1977 comedy series Soap and the 2009 comedy series Modern Family. Unfortunately the first two episodes were forgettable and I do not give this series much of a chance of being extended as long as either of the aforementioned comedy series Soap or Modern Family. I just hope John Lithgow’s salary was guaranteed for the first 13 episodes which is more than I can say this series is guaranteed to make it through.

Sorry John… I can only rank this series a 5 out of 10

Holy cow, I didn’t think I’d laugh at the bits in a show as hard as I did in The Office.

This show has such an amazing overall vibe! The characters are just brilliant, and each actor plays their role amazingly well!

The screenplay is amazing, the jokes are brilliantly timed and delivered, the production is stellar, the camera work is perfect. I love it. Every single detail, nailed.

Please bring this show back, and give us more seasons! I swear with the right marketing, this show could be HUGE. We’re talking mass-appeal! I hadn’t heard of this till I stumbled across this in Amazon Prime, and I’m so sad to learn that there’s only 2 seasons! Please, please bring it back!

Trial and Error has an entertaining premise and great acting. The cast is uniformly wonderful though some (Cristine Rose, Bob Gunton) are under utilized. It’s got clever writing, but unfortunately it generates snickers and smiles rather than belly laughs.

I like comedies like «Big Bang», «Mom», «Fresh off the Boat», and «Life in Pieces» and each of these comedies delivers the big laughs. «Trail and Error» doesn’t but it is entertaining and it’s always good to see John Lithgow

***MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS OF ENTIRE FIRST SEASON***

I love John Lithgow, and just about anything he’s acted in. He’s one of my favorite comedic actors for being able to normalize the outlandish. He is the reason I decided to watch this sitcom, but not the only reason I stayed through to the end.

Though I’m from a very rural part of PA (which describes 90% of PA), I lived in Upstate South Carolina for 4 years while earning my Masters degree there. In between my BA and MA degrees, I worked in the high- powered law firms of Washington DC, and continued that career into SC as a side job to my academic career, so I’ve worked in small, single- attorney, South Carolina law firms.

So imagine my reaction to many of the characteristics of this show, as it hit upon personal experiences, personal knowledge, subjects with which I am intimately familiar.

I loved it. Of course, there are — because it’s a sitcom, not real life — inconsistencies with reality, but I enjoyed it’s portrayal of small- town South Carolina, because I met many of those characters. It may rub actual Southerners the wrong way, but as an outsider who observed my surroundings, those characters exist. They exist in PA, too, for the record, just without the charming Southern accent. The way law is practiced in some parts of South Carolina, believe it or not, is fairly accurately depicted. Some of their laws are head-scratchers, just not the ones depicted in the show. Who you know tends to be more important than what you know, and can influence, not just the outcome of your case, but even how it proceeds. I saw this in action. It was not the outrageous example of My Cousin Vinny, where he was told what to wear to Court, and stonewalled on submitting his qualifications — I found that to be ridiculous in the sense they weren’t going for. But a judge and prosecutor making plans in open court for after the hearing? That’s true Southern justice.

My late younger sister, and her daughter, both inherited dyslexia, and though we also found the humor in it, it wasn’t accurately portrayed. Dyslexia *can* work in one’s favor in strange ways, but again, just not as depicted. But kudos to them for using it as a device for the climax of their plot! My sister could’ve corrected their depiction of it better than I can. But still funny.

I didn’t find anything in Lithgow’s character, Larry Henderson, that reminded me of prior TV characters in similar situations. I love how Lithgow made Larry lovable, considering his affair, his lies, and other outrageous behaviors. Henderson had such a happy, cheerful, almost childlike approach to life, he often lifted the spirits of his legal team, of his daughter, instead of the other way around. It seems to me that the writers should have put a little more effort into this, and instead of using the ubiquitous mockumentory style that’s so overused today, they could have perhaps had Larry narrate his story (as an epic poem, of course, since Henderson was a poet), or had an omniscient narrator, or even — if you want to take the genre of the Investigation Discovery true crime shows further, had Larry’s late wife herself narrate the story from a different omniscient perspective. However, I do understand what spoof they were going for, being a true crime aficionado. It certainly was not to copy what’s been done in other *sitcoms*, but what’s done in Forensic Files, 48 Hours, etc.

All in all, despite my review sounding so picky, I thoroughly enjoyed this show, and am looking forward to Season 2. I wonder if there will be another big-name celebrity cast as the alleged criminal in the next season? I wonder what new and strange medical conditions Sherry Shepherd’s character will present with? Only time will tell.
