Reviews

miooolre A friend of mine tapes EVERYTHING and one night he told me Cloris Leachman had been in this weird funny twisted sitcom about Early America and he looked through his video collection and showed me the first three episodes. I cant believe this show isn't more well known - it was soooo funny and Leachman is great in it (as is the rest of the cast). The satire and dark humor reminded me of The Simpsons and the show where the whole town of Plymouth gets hooked on tobacco was laugh out loud funny. I guess it was on CBS one summer but man, this thing should have been given a chance. Now I'm determined to track down the last three! CBS - DVD release??

tinoynk I am an 8th grader and in my social studies we were studying the early english in america. My social studies teacher being the movie/tv nut he is, showed us the pilot episode. It was hilarious. It's such a shame it got cancelled.

tgibbs279 CBS's decision to cancel "Thanks" says a lot about the sad state of modern-day network television. This show at least attempted to be different. Unlike almost every other sitcom on TV, "Thanks" wasn't set in New York, wasn't about a bunch of whiney twentysomethings, and wasn't just a collection of tired sex jokes. "Thanks" probably never had a chance. It wasn't the kind of show a focus group would have approved. Maybe it wasn't the best show of all time, maybe it was imperfect, but at least it tried to bring a fresh kind of comedy to network TV. It was different. It didn't try to be the umpteenth "Friends" clone. It deserved a longer run, in part because it dared to be original. "Thanks" lasted five or six episodes. "Suddenly Susan" ran for years. That's modern television in a nutshell.

shark-43 I agree with the first comment, this was a wonderful show, a breath of fresh air when sitcoms are full of tired "Friends" rip-offs. Thanks was witty and cleverly written. The episode where tobacco was introduced to Plymouth Colony was so funny with great satirical bits about the modern tobacco industry. My housemates and I loved every episode and we hope CBS will order more. bring back the dysfunctional Pilgrims!
