Bless This Mess is an obvious retelling of the 1960's show Green Acres. They have multiple similarities. The main characters are fish out of water types, the secondary cast are goofy neighbors that in spite of all want what is best for the protagonists. In both cases the premise is ridiculous, the writing banal, and the cast brilliant at making the best out of what they are given. So put aside your first impression and give this show a try. It's really good mindless entertainment.
