I gave this show 10 stars out of 10, because I think it's the best comedy show ever made, out of all, still, up until this moment, in 2013. Please, watch this show. Every episode is funny and fresh, and unpredictable... and the actors are amazing! All of them: Kelly Ripa, who played Faith, Faith Ford, who played Hope, Ted McGinley as Charlie, and the three kids- Nicole Paggi, later Megan Fox, in the role of Sydney, Macey Cruthird as Hailey, and Paulie Littowsky as Justin.The writers, did a great job: the humor is deep, the jokes are subtle, even sophisticated, surprisingly not cheap or vulgar, and sometimes, very true. The characters all have their own personalities, the storyline is great, and realistic, especially in the first two seasons. The third season is, unfortunately, not as funny and true as the first two. Hope and Faith are two Lovable characters, you can't help but understand them and their problems and concerns. Kelly and Faith have a great chemistry together, it almost seems like they are sisters in real life. The jokes and all the humorous situations, work out very well... And this show is not only a light- hearted comedy, it is also a life situation show, that can also teach you and your family, some pretty important things about life, friendship, family: how important is to be noble as a person, how to be happy and stay yourself, even if people around you judge you all the time. Learn to accept the people you love the way they are...some real- life values, like love, respect, generosity... " I'll always be there for you". Not only is this show funny, but it actually also makes you care for the characters and their life, their relationship between each other. So, they will always be there and help each other, in whatever situation, and even when they fight with each other, their friendship is unbreakable. And all the jokes are Trenchant and Fluid, believe me, when you watch Hope and Faith, you just can't stop laughing! So, please don't deprive yourself from this joyful, delightful experience, go and watch "Hope and Faith", the best sitcom ever made!I think this show really deserved a lot more seasons, compared to the cold, crude humored Two and a Half Men, which is on its tenth season now by the way, this show is incomparably better. And another occasion for us to feel mad at ABC...

Writing and acting of this quality belongs inside Pandora's box. The jokes are as bad and clean as on Full House, and the setup for them is so fake it hurts watching. People might like the goofy Kelly Ripa as Faith Fairchild character, but honestly, it hurts to watch middle aged women act like stupid children in order to make them seem funny. Her sister, the responsible one, isn't any better. She exemplifies the type of woman, who've never realized who she is, and never achieved any of her dreams expect the one of a house, a husband and some children. What a sad example of role models.Parring up a stupid and a boring person doesn't really make great comedy - it's just an easy way out for a lot of boring morales without impact and for a bit of lazy attempts at slapstick comedy. All seen before a long time ago.America; you've brought some good comedy to the world, but when you make things like this, you really start lacking behind the European countries. Please don't export more of this, just keep it to yourselves.

One of my favorite series since 2003 has been "Hope & Faith" which airs on ABC, the show is so funny and heartwarming at the same time. You have Faith Fairfield(Kelly Ripa) a recently fired and unemployed actress who goes to Cleveland, Ohio to move in with her sister Hope who is played well by Faith Ford, and Faith will find life is much different from Hollywood, as the family that sister Hope has evolves around loving her three children and husband and respect and discipline. Like all families they have petty differences but love conquers all when it comes to these two sisters and family. The shows always have funny stories and laughter, plus guest appearances by Regis Philbin as a lovable car salesman Hal, as you know that is Kelly Ripa's talk show host partner in real-life, the two always make such beautiful music together! I must say finally that Kelly Ripa really perks me up! I also happen to think that she is one of the world's sexiest women period. Kelly sure shows it on a couple of episodes over the years I remember certain scenes when I noticed that Kelly would be wearing sexy colored bras, once I believe a purple one then another time a green one. Now if Kelly wasn't married, that would be my wife!
