What a fun show to watch.... an interesting premise. Okay, it's not anywhere close to reality, but hopeful all the same. The back stories of the main characters are about as real as you can get. Having said that, Josh Ritter is just perfect for the part. I see his dad in him, but this part is all him. The inquisitive daughter who lost her dad is wonderful and the budding relationship between the 2 may be the best part of the show. The 'Meteor' messenger is also very good. I would say that the twin sister's part was the weakest point about the show, but I'm sure they will expand it.
This is now on my must watch list.

I recorded but hadn't watched yet. Was waiting for reviews or to see if it got canceled in a couple of weeks.

Loved it and just exactly what this world needs right now. Jason Ritter is a treasure, just like his father.
I tweeted during the show and he liked all my tweets so he is definitely my BFF now. He told a sweet story about how when they filmed the closet scene, no one noticed but there was a Clifford the Big Red Dog game in there. It wasn't planned. His dad did the voice and he said he didn't believe in coincidences but he likes to think that his dad was giving his approval.

How cool about Clifford the Big Red Dog and dad giving a nod of approval. Just the other day, I was thinking Jason Ritter is one celebrity I'd love to see on Tyler Henry's Hollywood Medium show (so 'we' could hear from John) ☺

Mamie, how sweet is that, I love him even more!!
My hubby and I watched, it was really slow. My hubby has way more patience than I do and even he thought it was slow. We will give it one more ep.
I want to love this show because I adore Jason, he is so much like his dad. Im off to follow him on twitter!

I think I saw the guard from Orange Is The New Black on this Kevin show from scenes for next week. I guess that explains why he left Orange.

I finally got around to watching this today. I loved it. Jason Ritter is such a sweetheart. He reminds me so much of his dad, who I also loved. This show has a lot of heart. They were establishing characters this week. Hopefully it will move a little faster next episode.

I enjoyed last night's episode. It's not a fast paced show, but I think it moves along nicely. I'm sure the policeman who brought the used carburetor for the sister likes her. She's oblivious. As Kevin told her, she's broken too. She just doesn't see anything beyond losing Kevin, after losing her husband.

"I can be your haunted truck"
I just love the sweetness of this show. It is not fast moving but it is joyous and heartwarming and I think we so need that right now.
The vision in the elevator was interesting.

Yes! I forgot about that line...
The introduction of the old girlfriend may be interesting too.

Did John Ritter raise Kevin Ritter? I thought he left his wife and family and married Amy Yasbeck and started a new family.

His name is Jason Ritter. Kevin is the name of the character that he is playing.

This show is heartwarming. Reminds me of Touched by An Angel or Highway to Heaven.

Fun Fact: I read that in the opening credits of Three's company, there's a little boy in it... that was Jason.

The opening scene of this last week's show was so good! So well choreographed.

Kevin's guardian angel is kind of mean.

I thought in the first episode she specifically told Kevin that she's not a "guardian angel" but rather a "warrior of god". In any case, I remember being left with the idea that she admitted there are angels even though she's not one herself.
Or did I mis-hear that?
Since then I've been wondering if an actual guardian angel might show up and have a different idea on how to help Kevin (just my own speculation)...

I know. I forgot. I keep thinking of when she saved him from the truck. But that whole walking in his sleep thing to the rooftop of the school seemed mean to me. I know it was for comic effect, but I wasn't amused.
Maybe Kevin's the "guardian angel" and the other lady (does she even have a name?) is just there to keep him alive. He seems to be more of an angel since he's helping people.

So last night I fell upon this show on tv! It was a new episode but I liked it so much, I went on Shaw Demand and watched 2 more episodes. Unfortunately they didn't have it from the beginning but they did have episode 5 onwards.
I just love Jason Ritter, he resembles his father John Ritter so much. He is such a good actor. This is a real 'feel good' show, just what I need on my tv watching list as so much I have is 'dark'.
