Yes, the title is ironic, but neither grown-ups nor children are going to have the best time ever.September 17, 2015
Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris...featured Harris singing, flipping on pogo sticks, zip-lining, and playing pranks so harmless they should be diminutized to prankies.September 16, 2015
Best Time Ever has been described as a variety show, but the reality was more comedy-game-prank show, with segments that felt like outtakes from Fallon or Kimmel, or possibly from Harris' failed Oscars gig.September 16, 2015
To his credit, Harris is aiming in an entirely different, and much more peculiar, direction.September 16, 2015
[Neil Patrick Harris is] hampered here by a format that might work better on daytime TV than at night, and better in the U.K. than here, and ... by a show that's almost willfully aggravating, he may have met his match with Best Time Ever.September 22, 2015
There really wasn't much variety to speak of in Best Time Ever after all, and precious little entertainment value. Maybe it will improve, but who'll be watching now that everything else is on?
