I'm going to jump the gun here and declare Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris a failure.
Following the footsteps of America's Got Talent, we jump right into the premiere of Neil Patrick Harris hosting a variety show. I actually went into this ambivalent. I didn't know what it was besides the promo spots.
Once the show started, I was waiting for the "Thrill Me" angle. It failed to do that at anytime in the 20 minutes I watched it. In fact, it did the opposite. Let's put the spotlight on Neil Patrick Harris and Reese Witherspoon and watch them. Whoo-hoo... that was boring. Then they slowed it down even more of doing a montage of video's suprising folks that they being followed. Then we watch the reaction of said couple, which actually shut me down completely. Talk about a waste of TV time... Best Time Ever is the poster child (besides games shows).
