Caryn James New York Times David Ramsey is appealing as the bright but slightly flummoxed minister. Aug 13, 2019 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post "Good News" is an encouraging surprise, a sitcom that has heart and charm and not just the usual gag reflex. Aug 13, 2019 Full Review John Carman San Francisco Chronicle The lanky [David] Ramsey is an innocuous screen presence as the young, eligible pastor. Mostly he functions as the show's stanchion of sanity, with the broad comedy swirling around him. Aug 13, 2019 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun There is nothing new or very good about it. Aug 13, 2019 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) This is the sort of show you'll watch only if your remote is broken and you're too lazy to get up off the couch and change the channel. Aug 13, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel There is a lot to like - especially [David] Ramsey, who, on his own, might bring a congregation to the show.
