Raising Hope Pilot

This show reminds me of Malcolm in the Middle, so If you like that show you will love this show. It’s about a family that is always having disagreements, but at the end of the episode they always end up fixing it.

The show starts off with Jimmy, his cousin and his dad working together in a lawn mowing business. Jimmy gets in an argument with his father about him being childish and quits.

I actually find his dad’s childishness funny, only because he actually thinks he’s funny when he makes a joke.

Jimmy lives with his mom, dad, and grandmother.

His grandmother has Alzheimer’s so when they’re sitting at the dinner table in silence she comes out and starts kissing Jimmy because she thought it was her husband.


It just grossed me out so much, I know it’s a serious condition but the mom told him to just go with it because it makes her happy.

Jimmy’s grandmother only calms down when she gets her bubble gum ice cream, so Jimmy has to run to the store and get some. As he drives to the store this woman runs into his car screaming help.

Jimmy gets excited because she calls him cute and they end up being a little intimate which results in her getting pregnant.

I guess Jimmy should have waited until the second date, because she turned out to be a serial killer. She’s killed a bunch of her ex’s over little things like forgetting to buy her a birthday card.

As the family is sitting at the table watching T.V. Lucy goes to the bathroom and they see on the news that Lucy has killed two of her ex’s.

The mom took the T.V. and whacked Lucy in the head, and then called the police.

I don’t understand how you can whack someone in the head like that, i know she is a murderer but still I’d feel bad.

When Lucy has the baby she is put on the electric chair and is killed, so Jimmy is responsible for watching the baby. No one in the family supports him keeping the baby.

The show ends by the Virginia the mother tells Jimmy that they should change the baby’s name to Hope instead of Princess Beyonce.

I feel like Jimmy is going to find a new girlfriend, and live with her and raise hope together. I’m predicting that everyone will eventually end up loving having the baby around.


I would suggest watching this show because it’s always a different situation that is always interesting and entertaining. The show is only 20 plus minutes so it’s a show you could watch without having to sit down for an hour. The show is also very funny, so if you like a good laugh you should watch it.
