Kelly Ripa and Faith Ford are reincarnation of Lucy and Ethel. The humor is slapstick and cute. In watching this, I havent laugh that hard in years.

Hope (Ford) is the happy married wife. Her sister Faith (Ripa)was fired from her soap opera gig and moves into her sister's home. Hope's husband (Ted McGinley) reminds me of Desi Arnaz's Ricky without the cubian accent. The three kids seem more like props for the two female leads, since the kids have NOTHING to do

My favorite episode is where their aunt died. Faith steals a ring she assumes is her mother's dfrom the deveased, however its another person's funeral.

The humor is not forced, just like fun slapstick with no message or heavy theme

I'm so excited that they decided to come out with season 1. I've been waiting forever!!!! Best show ever!! It's so funny!!

At last - a well deserved comedy series gets onto DVD - let's hope the whole of the series is on DVD soon after March and Season 1! I wonder why it has taken so long to be brought onto DVD - it should never have been cancelled - what a hilarious sitcom and comedy at it's very best. The actors are great and how ever many times I watched the repeats on ABC I still found it very funny.

Hope and Faith is more than I expected. It is mildly funny, which is high praise in these days of PC and network standards. It is on a par with Everybody Loves Raymond, which is one rung below the Simpsons, South Park and the old Reno 911. All of those are non-PC and wouldn't fit in this time, network, audience, etc.

What is good about the show is that they realize there are men and women out there as potential viewers. This is 90% a woman's show, with female plots, themes, and characters. However, Kelly Ripa is a whirlpool, a fount of sex appeal. Noone in show business flaunts it like she does, God bless her. Whereas Mary Tyler Moore would do one show a year to attract men('the dress', etc.), Kelly delivers sex appeal on every single show. Her sister (Faith Ford playing her married sis) is also good looking, more handsome than vamp. The rest of the cast is fine also, with a quietly sexy older daughter, a harried Ted McGinley, and a quiet introspective younger daughter. Overall, a fine show worth having...

I absolutely adore Hope & Faith, and I remember falling in love with it when it first came out -- I never missed an episode after that premiere. I about threw a fit when it was canceled, because I just loved it that much. Faith and Kelly are both amazing in their roles, and I truly couldn't pick a favourite character on the show. I've been catching reruns for the past few months, and it's just been bliss. Now I just discovered the DVD release, and rest assured this has made my entire week!

Hope and Faith is a really funny show my family and I would watch it every friday night when it was on and it was hilarious. They chemistry of the cast was awesome and the timing was always perfect. I am so happy season 1 is going to be on dvd and I hope season 2 and 3 come also because it was a great show. The only thing I did not like about the show was the teenage daughter in the 1st season was really good and they replaced her with the girl from "The Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" and the girl who took over was really a bad actress but other than that the whole show was hilarious and it is worth getting on DVD.

OK, I loved watching them while i was in high school. I come home and watch the 2 eps that recorded that day. It still makes me laugh to this day, how ever... why no season 2 or 3?

Absolutely hilarious! If you like to laugh, you'll love this series. These women are a scream. They get into messes that get worse and worse, and the messes aren't sterotyped - often they are very surprising. The writers are great, and so are the actors. Highly recommend. My favorite is the hot dog costume.

Great dvd. It was a gift for my mom, she loved it and it got here faster than I expected. Hope and Faith are hilarious.

I came across this show while channel surfing and noticed I was occasionally laughing out loud. I'm surprised at how funny Kelly Ripa is. She possesses great comedic timing and some of her expressions along with Faith Ford's are priceless. The rest of the cast contributes plently with Ted McGinley being my favorite as Charley. The poor guy just can't win with Kelly.
I wish this show had run longer or Kelly would do another sitcom. This is defitnitly a show that you can watch over as many of the episodes are hilarious.
I hope the last two seasons are released soon.
