Jimmy Chance, a 23-year-old man who skims pools for a living, has a chance romantic encounter with Lucy, a wanted felon. When he visits Lucy in prison months later, Jimmy discovers that she gave birth to a baby he must now raise -- with his family's help. Jimmy's family includes his parents, who have no interest in helping to raise their grandchild, and his grandmother, Maw Maw, who can barely care for herself ... let alone a baby. Greg Garcia ("My Name Is Earl") created and executive produces the family comedy.

Marc Hirsh NPR Raising Hope nonetheless feels like it's been given a nearly ideal ending point. It rarely aimed at being much more than a goof machine, and despite the occasional bumpy patch in its four-season run, it was a fairly well-oiled one. Apr 3, 2019 Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News {It] gets so sentimental it's almost gooey. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2014 Full Review Julie Hinds Detroit Free Press Sorry, Fox network. Your attempt to hide "Raising Hope" by moving it to 9 p.m. Fridays hasn't diminished the joy of watching the quirky sitcom's secret weapon: Martha Plimpton and Garret Dillahunt as blue-collar free spirits Virginia and Burt Chance. Dec 12, 2013 Full Review Kate Stanhope TV Guide Raising Hope ended its run on Friday the way the Fox family comedy spent most of its four years on the air: in an offbeat, but heartwarming way. Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News Raising Hope knows how to leave its audience laughing. And maybe just a little teary. But in a good way. Apr 4, 2014 Full Review Samantha Sobolewski The Loop This feel-good show not only makes me reflect on my own family, but it even makes me feel better about my own family.

Vicki T So sad it's the end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Shame this show got cancelled, makes the end of the season seem pretty underwhelming. Otherwise, good season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the best season but it has a great closing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A great show that FOX gave up on and NEVER should have been cancelled, I see all the crap and bad tv on here`s a quirky family comedy and FOX didn`t know what to do with it, The BRILLIANT Martha Plimpton and Garret Dillahunt. I really wished another network picked it up but never happened. But FXX and CMT has reruns. Enjoy the brilliance in this OVERLOOKED GEM!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Love this show!!! Makes me laugh more than the Big Bang theory!!
