I thought the kid looked like young Keefe.

By the way, this was by far my favorite episode. Baby Billy was hilarious. Young Jesse and young Judy were funny as shite.

The biggest problem the show has is that I think most people were expecting a straight comedy. This definitely isn’t that, and the people behind the show should have done a better job preparing people for that fact.

I'm really digging this show. It's funny and a lot deeper than I expected. It's not just taking cheap shots at hypocritical televangelists. Eli and Aimee-Leigh were motivated by their faith to start this ministry. Really, at the core of it is how the family is crumbling because their matriarch is gone.

Its still mainly a comedy. The majority of the characters just arent THAT funny. Kelvin and Keefe are pretty much strictly comedy and they just arent that funny outside of a few good lines. And I love Adam Devine/Workaholics. The guy Gideon is working with is a complete idiot and isnt funny at all. Jesse has plenty of jackass moments where its completely in the mold of Kenny Powers but it just doesnt work as well.

Like I say, I dont dislike it, and i'll keep watching it but I wont give it a pass for not being that funny just bc it has some depth to the plot.
